Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Picked this up last weekend. 1988, 454, TH400. Everything works and it was unmolested for the most part.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Thanks for the compliments guys. The tires are 225-70-19.5s. I don't have any pics of the int., I am actually putting seats out of an 03 chevy in it right now. A guy is suppose to come pick up the factory seats tomorrow then I will finish taking the int out and spray charcoal on the inside and put my new carpet and seats back in.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
No I don't have a thread, I can tell you they are hell to get low enough. I had to cut 3 inches out of the outside track/bracket and 1 inch out of the other. On these you have to relocate the tilt mech. and cut about 3 inchest off of the lower end for the seat to lean back

I love both versions of that truck myself but I lean a little more towards the short box single wheel just because it would suit my use better at this point. Good luck, nice truck!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
I'm with meatwagon, don't change it. It looks like you use the truck so it will be pretty much worthless if you make it a short bed srw. The charcoal paint would look good, but if it was me I would do silver with charcoal on the bottom. That will keep it a little cooler in the summer time.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
yeah I plan on charcoal and silver on the bottom, started to spray it a silver then charcoal but got the driver fender sprayed and looked more like primer grey than anything. I am not having it look primer grey so Im going charcoal then silver bottom. I do use it but it would be a lot easier to drive short, it would pull fine just no room in the bed with the fuel tank and tool box

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Ben, my opinion is to keep it as it is and do the paint work. Back of the truck will be more stable with the dual rear tires.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Made it forwards, reverse, and sideways thru the mud, just had to be slow n steady. Any time I hammered on it the carb bogged out. I have to tune the truck. Its kinda a turd right now, but I don't want to put any $ into the engine since m planning a cummins swap.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Finally got a dually, which I've been wanting for a long time now. 1990 Chevy Crewcab dually 454TBI/400 combo. I'd like to get an OD tranny for it so I can cruise at some better RPMs, but I'll probably hold off as I'll be putting the 454 in the fiancees '64 Caddy and a Cummins in this sooner or later lol This thing just drinks fuel like no tomorrow and of course it's got dual tanks. $100 a fill and lasts a week or so, luckily I rarely drive it as I have work trucks. Came with the Alcoas and spacers out back to run bigger tires luckily! Paid $2700 for it and the Alcoas and spacers are worth about $1000 on CL up here so $1700 for the truck which is a good deal. This truck is pretty rare up here, not like down south where you guys have a million crewcab duallies. These are few and far between up this way and this was the one of only a handful for sale in BC over the past few years.
It had headache racks front and rear and was covered in mud when I got it two weeks ago. Needed new brakes all around and tires. I just got some 315/75/16s (35") tires for it today and I'm doing the brakes this coming weekend. Washed it and cleaned out the interior. I think there was at least 500lbs of mud on and in this truck after pressure washing it and there's still tons in the chassis and interior. For now it's the daily driver, work truck which will slowly get built up. Runs good but could use a chip/tune to get even more out of it Nate

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Just checked on Rockauto.com and I'll probably order the rest of the stuff through them. Can get rear drums with shoes shipped to Bellingham for $240. If I have to pay taxes I'm still under $300 for the rear. Otherwise I'm at $460 for the rear going through Lordco up here. I figure a week wait and a hour of driving time is worth the $200 savings for me.
