I only need to add a lowering kit & a bigger set of skins.
As soon as my boy resizes pix I'll post them.
It also has a "classic" like new plaid tan interior.

Here is my truck. '87 with DJM upper and lower (3") controls arms, 2" drop springs, 355 with nice cam, modified TBI, 700r4, 15" Torq Thrusts, 235-70-15 fronts, 275-60-15 backs.

She runs pretty good. Next I'm going through the rear end (gears and a posi unit) and then she should almost fly!

I would love to know your thoughts on my truck!

menace121978 · 08-21-2009, 12:47 PM

very nice! would love to see more pics!!

bigbadjohn84 · 08-21-2009, 03:37 PM

I want more specs on your tbi motor. heads, cam, intake, throttle body, fuel pressure.. etc etc etc... my 89 is highly modded. I love to see what others have done with these "junk" injection systems lol

Your truck is awsome, doesnt need much more in my opinion

'87 Static Slam · 08-21-2009, 08:38 PM

it has a comp cam 256 dual pattern flat tappet, hand ported heads by a head guru (i couldnt begin to tell you what he did) roller rocker and timing chain, and the 2" throttle bore tbi. i have a holley tbi, just need to rebuild it. i have a tbi spacer that was hand ported from 11/16" to 2" to help with the larger throttle bore.

yes, your right....worst flowing motor gm ever made. but with a little tweaking they go pretty good.

joe231 · 08-21-2009, 09:48 PM

cool truck....and i agree with menace....more pics!!!
