ATTN: Sry, just noticed the intro thread. And i keep editing this cus im on my work computer which is the equivelant of junk....
Hey, just picked up a 87 Chevy Custom deluxe. When purchased it had 36x13.5x17 inch IROK's, 4 inch suspension lift, LT1 engine swap w/ th400 built tranny, and a stock 10 bolt rear lol. He gave me a 14bolt 9.5 inch to put in for free though, ill get on that in the spring. Also recieved a set of 8inch lift springs for the front. So about a week after purchase i got to work.
Put on the front springs, new stainless brake lines all around, drop-pitman arm (im gunna put on a steering arm too, but ive already got 9 hours into this thing so im done for a while lol), shackle flip in the rear, new bushings. Its been tough, but well worth it. The rear brake line (hard line) ruptured as i was pulling it out of the shop last night, so thats the last thing tonight before i take her out to Green ridge state forest this weekend.
Also has seats out of a 04 silverado, and a few other things. Gunna have to pull off the bed next spring to fix the rear frame rails. But other than that i love it!
So here i am, and theres my truck. I used to have a 91 K5 but it was so overwhelmed with rust i let it go. This is my second attempt lol. Next step is replacing the rocker panels, and new shocks all around. But i think im off to a good start!
ill post a few pics in a while here once i get my 15 posts
