got a wild hair up my but today to finally put a shorter shifter in my truck. the nv4500 is quite sluggish and im tired of grabbing the shifter halfway down when i wanna get it. i took a shifter from as stickshift 95 s10 my buddy hd for parts. drilled and tapped the s10 shifter out and installed, but DAMN THE THROW IS REALLY SHORT NOW lol! have to bend down slightly to shift but thats not really a problem, its the 50 ft lbs of force ya gotta use to get it in the next gear, they def are closer in between thats for sure. dont know what to do now. at least it wont be in the way of the cupholder, and i can put that back in if i just get used to it

Hey guys I have a 1997 Chevrolet Cheyenne and I was wondering if you guys could go to my photo gallery and look t my truck and tell me some ideas on what to do with it?

burkey05 · 09-02-2012, 02:59 AM

installed tbi injector spacer

stocker96 · 09-03-2012, 09:09 PM

Not really today...buuuuuut, heres the list.
smoked tails
smoked corners
55W HID lows
painted bowtie
powdercoated rally wheels
new tires
new rear window
full fluid change (royal purple)
bought the truck a less fortunate buddy (85 bronco 2) its purpose, to beat the crap out of off road, saving the chevy for an easier life.
please note the f**d isn't running and the Chevy is running like a top, all seems to make sense dont it?

I added power brake booster and master cylinder to my 74 chevy stepper ,what a difference power brakes made .

Vega_67C10 · 09-05-2012, 01:23 PM

Pulled tank, replaced sending unit, fuel pump and fuel filter. Took about 5 hours to complete. Luckily it had only an inch or 2 of gas in the tank. Primed the filter and she fired right up.

I have about $270 in it doing it myself.

Should have putted on some rim upgrades to my truck and stainless steel ones with awesome designs may work. However the engine is a little bit squeaky while customizing the mods would be an indefinite proportion.

jb1016 · 09-11-2012, 08:13 PM

Four hours worth of washing, buffing, waxing, vacuuming, rain-x-ing, armor-alling...I'm beat, but the old girl looks pretty good.

stocker96 · 09-13-2012, 01:21 AM

Lost 3rd gear

found most of the clutch meterial, and metal CHUNKS in the pan. Ordered anew Monster 4L60 with a lifetime warranty

they thought the farm truck was fast before... just wait.

yesterday I changed my rear brake hose and got the brakes working again finally after months of fighting them.

Today I removed all the tools from the front seat and floor I used working on it all these months, cleaned the garbage out of the bed, washed it good, cleaned overspray off my bumper, bull bar and windows, and vacuumed the inside.

Also put the heater hose and overflow hose back on as well as the fan shroud.

no2tracks · 09-19-2012, 10:56 PM

Changed out the oil, oil filter, air filter, idler arm, pittman arm, oil cooler line.

rockachevy · 09-20-2012, 10:39 PM

Put new shocks all the way around my truck, it was a complete pain in my side. I got it done and good thing to the old ones were toast

Good looking rig! So you can cut just a half of a coil. Thought you could only cut a whole coil at a time. Good info. And nice truck.

3strats · 09-27-2012, 08:26 PM

Changed a flat. Time for daddy to get some new shoes. Got 6 yrs out of some BFG's. I guess thats good.
