Re: Project Money green
Nice job. Did you also get the seats all mounted? I'm interested to see how you secured down the front seats.
What else is left to get that thing road worthy? Nick |

Re: Project Money green
Front and middle seats are mounted. Been driving it for a few weeks and it runs great, CPP disks work great it's like driving a new truck. Hopefully replacement springs will be here this week. Giving the interior some love now, headliner, new door panels, fat mat and new window felt to stop them from rattling

Re: Project Money green
Looks great man. Glad it's on the road and running good. What did you use to mount the front seats and how did you anchor them down?

Re: Project Money green
Had to make a few spacers out of some box tubing and bolted it through floor with grade 8 hardware and fender washers. Fronts were fairly simple to install

Re: Project Money green
The correct springs and shocks showed up Saturday so I swapped them out this morning. Went from CPP 5" rear springs to 4" HD and it sits level and rides much better. My brakes started to make noise so I'll have to investigate that.

Re: Project Money green
Thanks, took it on it's first highway adventure today. Would be really nice to have another gear as 60mph is about all she's got. I am going to start planning my LS swap for this upcoming winter. Thinking of a L92/ 4l80e combo, the junkyard I got my seats at has a few of them for decent price

Re: Project Money green
Been getting a clunking sound from under the passenger floor so I went to shop today to fix. Found out body mount was toast, removed mount and cut and welded in a patch. I'll get it put in one night this week.

Re: Project Money green

Re: Project Money green
Been working for the past few weeks to get cam swap done. Ended up doing new head gaskets and arp bolts. Ls2 timing chain and cover. GM hot rod oil pan and comp cam trunion upgrade. Now that engine was back together I dove into truck this morning and made killer progress.
Started at 7 and had all the sheet metal off and engine trans out by 1. Old greasy 350/3 speed next to new 6.0/6l90 setup Last edited by 04ls1gto; 01-01-2018 at 09:27 PM. |

Re: Project Money green
Lots of elbow grease and the frames got a fresh coat of paint. Pulled all the old brake lines out and will be installing the SS ones I have this week. Next on the list is to prep and paint firewall.
