My 1988 chevy cc drw 4x4 that I have had 6 years and is a work in progess.
This is going to be the year that it will get a complete makeover.

Thanks Guys, just got it and put my wheels and tires on it. First plan is to ditch the body lift and blue steering wheel. Best thing...everything works including the ac.

when i bought mine it had a grant steering wheel and a bedliner in it, by the end of the first day they were both gone! i think the steering wheel is my favorite feature of the interior on these trucks!

I took the plastic bedliner out as soon as it got into my driveway. As far as the steering wheel, I am looking for one of the old school camero steering wheel to replace it with. Anyone have a nice one they would sell?

1985-GMC · 03-13-2013, 12:33 AM

Nice truck!

Good plan! That's the first two things I did to my old blazer when I got it, got rid of the body lift, replaced the goofy little steering wheel with a stock one, then put a 454/sm465/np205 combo in it, and later trimmed the front fenders some more because the 40s were getting into them with the 4" lift.

Here is my new-to-me 1991 GMC 3500 Crewcab Dually.
76k original miles, 7.4l (454), auto w/OD, power locks, power windows.
No rust, one small dent in the outside of the bed, dent in the driver door, needs new driver fender, hood and windshield from tree branch falling on it in windstorm. Also no rear bumper or tailgate.
Is going to replace my '87 GMC crew short-bed; it will be a short bed too, not a dually, just not sure if I am going to do this one with 1/2 ton suspension or not?
Not sure if I should sell the CCSWB I have now and buy an IFS/dropmember and some sort of 4-link for the rear, or rob all the parts off the existing crew (all new front suspension/brakes including Bell-tec spindles/springs/shocks) and get rid of whats left?
I have a little while to figure it out?

kevinr1970 · 03-18-2013, 04:40 AM

A few more pic's.
The bed would be decent if not for all the mod's for the fifth-wheel and camper.
Plus the truck it will be replacing.

bns454 · 03-18-2013, 06:54 AM

this is my 86 454 western hauler complete with texas bordillo interior

Why are you replacing the blue truck? It looks good.

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-15-2013, 02:43 PM

Kellydown, that is a sweet truck you have! Very nice!

Duramax40 · 03-18-2013, 09:35 AM

If you are talking to me, I believe it was 1/2 ton LCA's due to different ball joints, then all the spindles, brakes, rotors, etc from the same. The UCA's are the same. I think, it was about two years ago I did the swap?

The rear I used the rear half of a 1/2 ton swb frame so not much to do there.
But if I were to go 1/2 ton on the new truck, I plan on cutting and shortening the existing frame so that will require some work on the perches.

I would like to be able to pull a car trailer if I needed, so not sure if I could use 1/2 ton rear springs with an airbag helper kit, or if that might be too much for the springs?
