1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler Build.(Sand Drags )

I'm recreating a thread for my restoration so I can edit the title and under my "new" username.

If anyone is interested here is the old thread with a bunch of rambling bs for the passed 4 years in 8 pages. http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203925

Anyways here is the truck It currently has a 350/700r"3" 10 bolt combo.

That's also the donor 91 burb I pulled home for the 4x4 conversion and front sheet metal.

I plan on painting the truck chevy imperial blue metalic from a 2011 camaro and various other chevy's

Thats it for now, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to surprise you guys with something big

Subscribed, I really like that blue, I almost bought a camaro in that color.

Are you really going to remove the HVAC? Why not just swap the entire drive train from the that Burban into your pickup?

Martin

 

[Babaganoosh]

That's what I'm going to do but some of the pieces from the interior are in better shape on the burb I could use.


Well the update for today got canned... Who would have thought it would rain in Arizona.

The TBI setup as well?

Martin

 

[Babaganoosh]

Nope, I'm going to sell it I got something else that's bigger and better then the factory TBI.

[swettysblazer]

So was this the 6.0 in your previous few posts, or the old engine?

 

[Babaganoosh]

It was the tired old leaky 350. I have not messed with the 6.0 yet just mocking up stuff and seeing what I have.

 

[Chevy305]

so when is this thing getting painted?

 

[Babaganoosh]

soon very soon, my painted needs to finish a few pieces theb its on

Once I finish with the suburban ill scoot the truck over and rip into it.

Today I found out what Cam I have, but I'm lost on what this all means. I wanted a choppy idle and a torque cam, I think this is exactly what I was after.
