Default The new DD project! I dub the scrappy.

Well picked up a new DD/project for $1500 bucks.

It's a 89 Swb 5-speed truck.

I assume it has a junkyard 350 double hump heads, performer rpm intake painted black(idky), holley 650, nv4500 5-speed. It's been lowered the wrong way and I plan to put suspension back under it. Fuel cell in bed, shaved passanger door and tailgate. Tailgate done right, door....meh.







Factory gauges did not work soo..for the time being.

Did someone swap in the nv4500? should be a the 3500 if stock, which would arguably be better for a lowered rcsb street truck hmmm

Yes, it was swapped by the previous owner. I didn't believe it until I crawled under it. I may try and trade someone out of a nv3500 because 1st gear seems useless. Prolly wait and do it when I do a throwout bearing and clutch.

Yep, unless crawling with a 4x4 you will prob skip 1st and use 2nd with a nv4500
