$25 Stepside off a '93? Oh hell yeah. I'll rock it. :metal:

Oh hey. I'm back. And after being broke and having absolutely zero time to get this truck ANYWHERE....it's time to make her roar again. Currently working on the engine. Plan is get the engine, trans, and t-case set back in the frame in the next say month or so. And go from there. This thing is still in pieces and has been on the back burner for too damn long!

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Good to see you back and g;ad to hear the truck will get some more lovin.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Thanks Bill. I hate that I haven't posted so long and the beast still isn't done. But it's been work work work with no leftover money and zero time for this thing.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Freshly repainted 350...matte black block with Chevy orange valve covers and silver timing cover....still need to do my intake though.
This is the same one I half-ass rattle canned orange all those years ago.

It's been a good minute since I've posted any updates. Honestly considered just waiting til the beast was done. I'll be posting update pics later today.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Okay so it's been a few days. :lol: Time for the updates...
350 and 4L60E are in, and about 95% re-dressed, along with fancy new headers.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

They will definitely hear you coming! :D

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Thanks Bill! That's the plan....louder than it's ever been. I've got a buddy with a '98 Mustang GT that had a couple SLP Loudmouths with no cats....thing is loud as hell. I plan on it being around there. I'll be running 2 high-flow cats with my mufflers.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Well, not the prettiest set up...but it works for what I've got. Exhaust is done. Still need to run hangers though. She's 100% true dual....no y-pipe, no connections. Two pipes, two cats, two mufflers. I'm happy with it. :D

And has anyone redone their speed sensor buffer modules with DIP switches? It's a pain in the ass. :lol:

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Congratulations on both getting back to the truck and the marriage.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Thank you sir. I also found a twin of my truck! It's not identical but I think it's pretty cool.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

That's what I thought! I think core support and front clip are next.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

I did a thing! 2" body lift and 3" suspension lift complete with 35x12.50R15LT Dick Cepek Extreme Country MTs...she looks like a truck again!

Looking good Dub. And congrats to you and the future Mrs!

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Thank you sir. Much appreciate the feedback on the truck and the congratulations for my marriage.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Nice big step forward!! :metal:

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Thanks Bill. I really like the white out look. I think it looks better than the old black grille. I also like the composite headlights better.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Well, thanks to Photobucket the first 5 pages of my photobucket-hosted pictures are now gone. LOVELY.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Been a while since I've posted any major updates....so here's the best update of all over the last 3 and a half years....IT HAS LIFE!!!
https://youtu.be/A-kq0SU85QY

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Well, I haven't posted in almost 2 years and honestly no had no intention to for a while as I started having issues. I blew my original 350. I spun a rod bearing and dropped a lifter...Honestly got kinda down and lost complete interest for a while. But there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
A few years ago I bought a '97 Yukon from a friend...floor was rotted and truck had issues so I decided I wouldn't put it on the road. So I took the L31 out of it and swapped it into the beast. I can finally say as we are nearing the end of 2019...the beast looks like a truck again...I'm happy with it again.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Glad to see things are back with it!

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 

Thanks Bill. Plan is get it timed today and alignment next week.
