Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build

My wife sent me this pic to tease the S*$T out of me while I am on the job. Looking forward to getting it installed when I get home.

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build

Now it is time to start tearing it apart for paint.

Oh also, I shredded a brand new Delco alternator while breaking the cam in. plastic just started shooting out of the housing. I don't know what was up with that.

Here is my rendering just finished up by Turbo Joe. He did an awesome job. I highly recommend him if you are in the market.

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build

Got my headers put on today. I have an appointment to get exhaust put on it Thursday. I will get some pics of it then.

Also, The Sanderson BB8 headers are suppose to be a direct bolt on for our trucks with a BB. The driver side went on with no issues. Passenger side needed a little clearancing on the motor mount bracket and I had to trim a ear off of my turbo 400. No big deal but wanted to get the info out there.

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build

Got the exhaust put on today. He did an awesome job! I am very happy with the way everything came out. Everything is inside the frame rails incase I ever decide to bag it and it is nice and neat.

Here is a pic of the guy that does my exhaust. It caught me funny him standing in my truck to drive it off the trailer.


By claypool782 at 2011-09-01

This is the only shot I got while it was on the lift.


By claypool782 at 2011-09-01

Here are a couple of shots of the engine with the headers on it. I have a 5" filter on it now but I am going to have to drop to a shorter one. This one barely hits my hood.

Headers look good! I'm wishing I would've gone with the BB8's. Post a video so we can hear it with the new exhaust.

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build

Picked this up a couple of days ago. I am going to use the cab on my truck. I actually picked the whole thing up cheaper than it would have been to replace the cab corners, rockers, and floor pans mine needed. It is 100% rust free. It is an 86'. The inside was full of parts too. Got a good gauge bezel, a grill to sell and a set of stock hub caps. Not sure if they are worth anything or not.
