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.

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
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

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
You will have a lot more work in putting floor pans in than modifying the seats and not be able to put factory seats back in ever

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
^^ is that the stock paint on your crew? if it is, look at your spid & see if you have code 9V5. my crew is the exact same color (woodland green), which was not on the color charts. Keith Seymore says it was most likely a fleet order, only people i know that use that green is forest service. that's solid lookin' sheetmetal you have there. mine's a custom deluxe, looks like yours is base too? i have the same drivetrain with 4:56's, i feel your pain at the pump. $200+ fill-ups=200 miles

$100 fill for each tank and goes about 200kms to a tank right now hahaha I really need to do a tune up on it to get it running right. It's running real rich right now.

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.

you might want to check your brake hard lines too, after putting new drums, rotors, calipers, wheel cylc.'s, pads & shoes, adjusters,springs, axle lines, & braided hoses in, every time i went to bleed them, with all that pressure, the hard lines from the prop. valve kept rupturing (5 pieces). finally ended up replacing all the hard lines. before & afters mud destroyed the axle seals. that black gunk is brake dust, gear oil & mud stops incredibly hard now, even with the camper & quad trailer if your ever working the back country from chwk to merrit, might see you, we do a lot of riding out there. it's also amazing how many times we've come across un-attended fires left burning |

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Mines still has the old Cobra CB in it and the front whip. Also had another cb type radio stuck under the seat covered in gunk lol
My brakes are absolutely toast. When I got the new tires installed yesterday I had to have the truck running and foot to the floor and the rear brakes still weren't holding 100% ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll take more pics of the truck and as I do the brakes to show how bad the damage is ![]() Nate PS: I just noticed your cowl hood. Now I know where I can trade mine during the night!!!!! hahaha I had one at my buddies shop but during the move we must have tossed it cause I can't find it now. I've been watching CL, but no 81+ hoods have come up, only pre-80s cowl.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
good luck finding a cowl. hard to find used ones here, but every now & then you get lucky. i put an edelbrock fi on mine, & the stock hood wouldn't clear the intake & air cleaner. i bought mine from the states & had it shipped to sumas, then went & picked it up, saved myself $180 in shipping. i did score a brand new set of D60 warn hubs off cl the other month for $60!
don't want to depress you, here's most of what i did. can add about $400 more for hard lines, wheel studs, brake fluid, e-brake cables, braided lines, axle seals, tubing bender, flare tool, etc, etc. |

![]() Might have to do front brakes this weekend and back brakes next month hahaha Too bad both the tires and brakes were needed right away. At least I got a killer deal on the 6 brand new 35s for $1400 taxes/install included. Now if I can get all the brakes done for a reasonable cost I'll be happy. I've been watching CL to see if I could pick anything up cheap, but nothing right now. Guys are asking $300+ for used front hub/rotor sets with complete brakes...screw that. Might end up ordering through the US depending on the prices up here. Nate

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
maybe in the states you could, my buddy works at the parts store & i get a 30% discount. to build a truck up here is 1 1/2-2 times more, our guvment loves taxing the s**t out of us. belive you me, i shop the whole world for parts for my truck, another big killer is shipping, you guys have it so easy compared to us. my wifes envoy & my dad's silverado have rear disc, they wear out fast. yeah, there good, but i'll stick with my drums (lest i have an e-brake)

Got some prices from Lordco for the stuff. Rotors - $87/ea Rear drums - $180/ea Rear pad - $100/set Got the rotors coming in for tomorrow morning so I can do the front this weekend at least so I'll be able to stop again ![]() So about $750 for that stuff with taxes, so if I rebuilt everything like you I'd be at the same price ![]()

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.
