Re: pics of the 83 update
No problem, i painted the instrument bezel all black but im not sure that i like it. Thinking of making a piece of brushed aluminum and riveting it or maybe allen head bolts. Any opinions?

Re: pics of the 83 update
Hum yeah I think it would better with some brushed aluminum around the gauges. If I could find the drawings of them I could waterjet some out for you then you could just glue them in place or something.
This is my build that I just cant get enough time to work on http://s1210.photobucket.com/albums/...exasbigbear21/

Re: pics of the 83 update
Air chisseled them out it was a pain till I got the hang of it I even messed up the threads on one and had to replace it but I learned allot doing them myself and would not be afraid to do it again know. Thanks I have so much I want to do to it but I just am focusing on getting every thing running and operating like new first before I work on cosmetics.

Re: pics of the 83 update
Well uve got a good start goin, if ur taking suggestions lol i wld sugest losing the step bumper and removing all the bed cover buttons and filling in the holes. Just a thought also while the front is blown apart wld be a great time to do a suburban grille swap if u like the burb grille w/dual head lights.

Re: pics of the 83 update
O yeah we are on the same track... Have not decided what I want to do far as the grill but that is something to think about. I have never driven the truck I got it from a guy on a trade for my old 1990 mustang fox body that was a POS and started the restoration right away.

Re: pics of the 83 update
No problem. So you have a 350 tbi motor converted to carb? I wished I would have went carb but decided to go with the stock tbi and chip the only performance parts are intake, headers,chip, and hope to add electric fans.

Re: pics of the 83 update
A carb makes things alot easier as far as not needing a computer or anything but tbi is so much more efficient in my opinion. I had a 95 shortwide that was a tbi with 202 heads and a holley street dominator intake but u have to have a carb to tbi adapter, picked mine up at a local speed shop. But this motor in the 83 is only a 305 not a 350.

Re: pics of the 83 update

Re: pics of the 83 update
I hear ya there. When i first finished my motor in the 95 it kept loading up and choking it self out, i was thinkin its tbi they dont do that haha well the temp sensor that should be next to the thermostat in the intake it was plugged so long story short i had to get a stat housing that i could thread a sensor into bc the computer couldnt tell when the motor was at tempature and just kept dumpin fuel.

Re: pics of the 83 update
Good to know did you just plug the old hole off? Do you have electric fans? if so where did you put the temp senor at?
