[mosthatedk5]

dang that sucks man. i dont have tint yet on this truck but my last truck was a classic and i use to get pulled over all the time and the couldnt do anything about it cuz classics dont have tint laws lol
but i know a few people that will do the inspection thing so ill be good cuz i dont have any cats on my truck and im about to have limo tint to lol

Actually, in 2003 they got rid of the grandfather clause for pre-'88 vehicles. I had an '87 Caprice for a daily that I bought partially because of that law, but it's nil now.

really? i didnt know that
i had a cop about to write me ticket for it sometime last winter and then he said that he couldnt do it cuz it was a classic? hmmm weird

[1badgmc]

Well, then you got lucky that he was still oldschool and hadn't heard about the updated laws. "Classic" had nothing to do with it. It was just that pre-'88 vehicles were exempt from the tint regulations. I believe the reasoning was because they didn't start enforcing tint regulations until '88.

5.3l from an 06 Tahoe in my 1990 chevy

[tonyp56]

OK here it is, 1988 GMC 2500 regular cab. 350/5.7 auto 2X4.

Got a ways to go, but I'm slowly getting there. Still need to fix passenger door windows and locks (power). Replace radiator and general mechanical fixes. Nothing too major.

I'll second that! I keep thinking about doing this when my engine gives up or I get bored. How hard was the swap? Did your gas mileage improve?

well i still have some work to do with the gauges so i haven't been able to tell with gas mileage since my gas gauge hasn't been working but it was mostly straight forward. my truck originally had the 4.3l v6 with a 5 speed so i had to go buy motor mounts from a v8 truck from this era and then i just used motor mount adapters and i also put in a 4l60e transmission. I would recommend trying it, my truck is a lot of fun to drive now. I don't have a documentation of the build but i do have more pictures if wanted.

Hey new here thought I would post some pics of my 93 work in progress.
