I use a 90 jimmy as my daily driver. Has the same wheels you do. I sprayed some aircraft paint stripper on them. Peeled the clear coat. Then was able to get a better polished shine out of them.

So after a few days of messing with the steering column had to order some parts for it so can't drive it for a few days.so out came the c10.its Been parked for 2 months in my shop and I almost forgot it's was in there.

[Zachary17]

So here's a long due update on the jimmy. I've decided to go ahead and swap in the 6.2 I got.so started On the removal of the old 350.thats the easy part next is the the wiring.

[Zachary17]

I thought the wiring was gonna be hard to get done it wasn't when you're young and fixable it makes some things easy.

[Zachary17]

The pile.

[Zachary17]

So after a week of waiting my parts truck.it arrived this morning.it's an 85 gmc c20 suburban 6.2 diesel th400.the inside not bad for the year.

[Zachary17]

neres some of the interior.

[Zachary17]

And the main part of the truck.

[Zachary17]

So after a few days of thinking about the engine swap I've decided to wait till the first of the month because I want to reseal the 6.2 before it goes in the truck.so this weekend I'm pulling the front end off the truck so I can pull the engine and trams And reseal the tcase fix the crack in the frame and maybe paint the firewall aswell finish rebuilding the engine wire harness.and today I started stripping the interior out so I can fix the rusted out rear seat holes.

So finely after a busy week got some more work done.
Tomorrow the core support comes off and engine and trams and are coming out just so I can fix the dang transfer case leak.

That's a nice C10 that you almost forgot about!

[Zachary17]

Thanks.what happened with the c10 was I started collage in October and the c10 started running horrible so i tried to fix it.I rebuilt the carb new plugs wires and cap still ran like crap so I parked it in the shop behind my house till March when I got tired off driving my dads truck.so I had to pull it back out and try to fix it again and the whole problem was the vaccum line at back of the trans was spelt in half.so new line and it runs like it use to.

[Zachary17]

finely the 350 out what a pain.
Now that it's out time to clean the engine bay and fix the crack in the frame.
