New to the site, pics of my 84 GMC Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tagg33 · 03-03-2007, 02:10 AM

Bought this truck from a friend of mine, he built it with his dad out of their farm truck in 1990. This truck has a lot of stuff done to it. Full frame off build; frame painted silver after back halfed, tubed and narrowed. ZZ1 or ZZZ crate engine with TPI/EFI and a built TH400 only 4000 miles on the truck since the build. MSD ignition. Old school Alpine cd & EQ and rockford fosgate amps, speakers and subs. Everything is shaved but the door handles. I've been updating the truck and fixing all the little things that need it. First major project for me was replacing the EFI harness and computer, that got me started cleaning up all the wires in the engine compartment and hidding them. Just installed new floor carpet and a headliner from LMC. I love this truck and I thought about it often over the past 15 years, I couldn't believe it was sitting in a barn 20 miles south of my new house so when I heard it still existed I had to buy it.

Low84 · 03-03-2007, 02:31 AM

munroe · 03-03-2007, 08:39 AM

Restrorob · 03-03-2007, 09:15 AM

That is one sick lookin truck there !

Do you happen to know where the center console came from ?

87 STEPPER · 03-03-2007, 09:53 AM

Cool ride you have there who's TPI System is that?

And if you don't mind could you post a pic of that center console from the pass. side i'd like to do one like that and i want to see how it mates with the lower dash.

Oh Yeah Welcome to our forum you'll like it here.

Tnkx.

f.monroe · 03-03-2007, 10:23 AM

Welcome from Texas ! From what I can see , the door panels look like some of the best custom door panels I have seen . Please post pics of them when you get a chance . Nice truck . Frank

Nolowrider · 03-03-2007, 10:50 AM

A great looking tuck you have there. I lke it. I really like the rear tubs, my next project

. Can you elaborate on the rear set-up. How much was cut off the axel? Tire size. Some pics would be great.

Welcome from New Orleans.

68GMC454 · 03-03-2007, 11:13 AM

nice truck..i dont understand why it was sitting in a barn though...but great to see it going to somebody who will drive it..

Tagg33 · 03-03-2007, 11:58 AM

I will have to try to take some rear-end pics, to show the work done there. The back tires are 29X18.50-15LT Mickey Thompson bias plys. I'm really looking forward to putting the new Mickey Sportsman S/R radial on here but I have no budget for rims yet.

This TPI setup is from http://www.firstfuelinjection.com/ My system was purchased back in '90-91 and I just upgraded it with their help. Ken at FIRST is great to work with and he got me everything I needed. My truck is in the gallery on his site.

The center console, door panels, amp rack, subwoofer enclosure and dash wrap were done by Competition Engineering here in AZ. But I think they are long out of business. Everything was handmade and vinyl wrapped. This is one LOUD 15 year old stereo system, with 2 tweeters, 2 mids, 4 mid bass and 2-12" Rockford subs.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 03-03-2007, 12:39 PM

Hey, welcome to the boards from MT. Sweet ride. Looks great so far, keep up the good work.

85_SWB · 03-03-2007, 02:14 PM

that interior is sexy

86swb · 03-03-2007, 10:45 PM

Welcome to the board and that is one sweet truck you have there.

Donnylee · 03-04-2007, 01:23 PM

Nice find! Looks like alot of time and money was invested, and cleaning it up and making it yours is is all you have to worry about. I like much of what has been doen to this truck especially the interior.... I do not have the balls to do it to my mostly stock looking 84 Silverado Stepper.....Past dropping it a little bit..... Its just so orginal with the rallys.... Its a stock kind of cool truck..... But I love that pro street look and the money that went into yours!

poolboy65-ls1 · 03-04-2007, 06:20 PM

I do like the interior!!!

DROPPED15 · 03-04-2007, 08:32 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

Mickey_D · 03-04-2007, 08:37 PM

Absolutely gorgeous. Only thing that was a little out of place to me was the front bumper. But the rest is absolutely stunning.

jefflong1981 · 03-04-2007, 08:43 PM

Very nice, love the middle console and panels

xtreme80 · 03-04-2007, 10:21 PM
