When I bought the truck 9-10-10


Replaced the trans! 9-12-10


New mirrors tint and debadged 9-14-10


Parts!



Started sanding her down 12-10-10 or so



Decided to take it to my buddies shop. Little bit cleaner.





Took off all the suspension, cleaned up the chassis and painted it using rustoleum ( I think that what it was) semi flat. Also bought a Hyperflex master kit that includes every bushing including cab mounts



Used flat black for the a arms going 5/7 drop with all need ball joints inner and outer tie rods and the rest of the suspension and steering. 1-5-10


Going with an LQ4 w/ Comp Cam 228 230 .571 .573 112 LSA for now
Next year TURBO!!!!!!!!

 

I travel quite a bit for work so I really cant work on her as much as I want. But it will get there.

 

Looks good, I wish I could find an OBS truck with that good of a body... everything around here is all cancered out...

Decided on a color yet?

 

I was very surprised when I found this one. It has been painted as you can tell when I took off the moldings but absolutely no body work on her at all. Everything about her was stock other than the muffler. Nothing had been touched ntil I got a hold of it.

 

Cool project! I agree it looks really clean....Man I miss my 91 350 tbi

 

Good looking truck! What color u gonna shoot it with? its gonna love the 6.0

 

Two tone darkish blue on bottom and platinum silver on top. Those aren't the exact color names lol. But something in that area.

 

My very First vehicle was a 1990 SCSB 5 speed in this color. Only difference is this one has power windows and locks. I regret selling it back in 1999 so 10 years later I bought this one so I can finish my project. Lol

 

Nice truck, like that body style. I bought my dads 89 scsb Scottsdale. Want to put in a duramax w/ Allison trany any inputs?
