my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

got this truck off my dad. he bought it with a bad trans. we put a used trans in the truck. motor is a rebuilt 350 with 60 thousand on it. bed was shot so i picked up one off a friend who was putting a flatbed dump on his 3/4 ton. i need to replace the rocker and cab corners. got the corner. i am still waiting on the rocker hopefully next week. my friend stopped by to give me a hand putting the bed on but by that time it was too dark for a pic.

forgot to mention i had to strip the interior to get all the glass from the previous owner never cleaned up to well. and the dog hair all over the inerior. my dad bought the truck and it has sat for 3 years so he bought it put the trans in it the it sat. now i have it.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

Looks like a fun truck!

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

future plans are a solid axle swap. custom front bumper. tint the windows. oh and paint. for right now i want/need to get it on the road as my 1991 s15 jimmy will not pass inspection this year. too much rot from being a new york truck before i got it and the previous owner did some creative work with bondo and cardboard if you get my drift.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

pics of the truck with the new bed on. switched the composit head lights out for the dual sealed beams. got a red headliner at the junk yard that was in like new the only extended cab at the yard and it was the color i needed.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well i guess i have some parts to get rid of. the composite headlights because i swapped for the dual sealed beams. i like them better. was going to use the roll pan that was on the box i got from my friend but with the trailer hitch that is for a stock bumper it will look stupid. so no roll pan. have a spare hood that i am going to turn into a cowl hood eventually. well the wife had to run a few places today so nothing done on the truck as it is a my father place. i was on kiddy detail today. hopefully my rockers will show up this week so i can get that done. also my white faced guage kit came in the mail today.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got the trailer hitch installed today. didn't put the bumper on because i have to pull the box back from the cab to replace the cab corners. also got my dash piece for my cd player.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

What type of cd player you putting in?

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

a single dim pioneer

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

got my white face guages installed.new wheels and tires. well used but new to me. they are a little skinner but they are my winter tires. my father gave me a tool box he had laying around for the truck. my new rockers should be here tomorrow or thursday finally.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got my tracking # the rockers are on their way. finally i have been only waiting three weeks for these and the were supose to be in stock. what a crock not doing business with them ever again. but they are giving me a partial refund for their screw up. hopefully tomorrow afternoon they will be here. alos picked up a gmc grill so i may swap the chevy one out for the gmc. i like the gmc grill better.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

fed-x should be here tomorrow with my rocker. had to change the brake booster and master today. three years sitting the master leaking and the fluid rotter a hole in the booster.luckley i hada spare laying around from a parts truck my dad and i bought a few years back. got that fixed today. tomorrow my father and i gota put a trans in my wifes jeep grand cherokee. so no work on my truck till wifes truck is up andrunning. you know the saying if the wife ain't happy you ain't happy. also painted the air cleaner gloss black but forgot to take a pic.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

Where did you get your new radio from?

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

my wife bought it back in march when she bought her's. i think she got it at best buy.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

rocker finally came. got a pic of the freshly painted air cleaner. also not sure if i want to put this cab spoiler on the truck or sell it. tell me what you think keep or sell. if i don't use it i'll probably end up putting it on the pile of stuff to sell. like the composite headlights and fiberglass roll pan.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

forgot to mention i got a gmc grill givin to me so i am going to swap the chevy one out for the gmc. i like the look of the gmc one better. also got the white tailgate fixed so the red chevy one is gone. now all i have to do is find a gmc horn button and cab emblems.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

lose the spoiler IMO. Man im glad we dont have winter like yall do. That rust is horrible!

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

yea i decided to not use the spoiler. well the cab corner were replaced once before and it was a shotty gob. they just cut out the rust pop riveted the new on and bondoed over that. mine will be fully welded.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got the cab corners and rockers on. i also got the truck trandsfered and insured. gotta get it inspected this week. my 91 jimmy the bottom end of the motor started knocking yesterday. so i will be dropping that off the insurence next week. pics to follow.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

pictures as promised

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

looks good

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well i got this wild idea that this 2000 something chevy bowtie might fit my truck. i had it laying around from when i worked for a company that did accessories. changed a lot of these for billit ones. i had to drill two holes to mount it with the studs it had but i think it looks good. i think it fills the center bar better than the orignal one did. sorry if the pics are crappy it wasdark when i finished and really cold too. it is bigger too.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

Look'n goood !!!


:but: It would look much better with that big red :gmc2: grille in front.... ;)

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

i know i want to find a gmc grill for it but the wife said no modifying the truck. it runs and drives so no f#&king with it. espically since her jeep still isn't running. hope to fix that today. my father and i have to swap the trans out. once herjeep is running i told her we are selling it and getting her a gm. i will never buy another jeep/mopar as long as i live. i have had nothing but headach from the day i bought her that jeep. trust me more mods in the spring. i plant to lift it, paint it, and rebadge it with gmc stuff.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got my lenses from sarge261. had to fix a few cracks but the are in better shape than mine were. i bought a can of that vht night shade lens tint and tinted them to hide the cracks in them. i also had a spare pair of corner reflectors and lamps so i tinted them too. i need to get one more parking lamp and i will tint those too. maybe even the tail lights. i might just black out the whole grill. hopefully in a few weeks the truck will be a soild red. wifes jeep is also at the tranny shop. 400.00 bucks to fix the valve body. i hate jeeps. never again i will stick with gm. told the wife we are selling her truck once it is back from the shop and getting her a s series blazer or jimmy.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

got my cup holder day before christmas. also got a vacume guage. it is temporarly mounted on the dash till i get my guage pod for the a pillar. also got a cold air intake on the way. that was my x-mas present to myself.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

my cold air intake came today. had it on in 20 min. now all i have to do is fab a box so i'm only sucking cold air from outside the engine comparnment.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

i see you have some lights in your grille look like little led emergency lights did you order them off ebay? if so i have the same ones. Do you like them?

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

You do know the factory air cleaner and tube done the exact same thing the high price tube you got now is doing, except it pulled air from the fender behind the parklight. That's how my 88 is, only thing that setup you bought does, is smooth out the path for sure and look better, definately for sure on that one lol.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

loudnlifted88 yes i got them off e bay and they work great. i just had to extend the wire a bit that is all.

benoit454 i know but the stock filters are restrictive. i got a great deal on the cold air intake on e bay. $39.00 shipped to my door. i couldn't pass it up when everyone else wants a $160.00 to $300.00. i plan on making a box that will draw the air from the factork location. probably this week ,if i can get up my uncle shop to use his break and bender.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

yeah i had to extend mine to and where did you pick up that filter on ebay?

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

this is the seller name on ebay fuzionmailzone626

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

thanks

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

type in tbi intake and that will bring up his items.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

54,

The truck is looking good. I like what you did with those lenses. I still have the truck, and its got a maroon interior which is in good shape. If you need anything else let me know.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got some new skins for the truck and picked up a set of 2000 chevy wheels off my uncle. also got an a pillar guage pod. still have to pickup a tach to fill the second hole. i love the new wheels on this body style truck. also had to replace the rear i was making noise. dam it is hard to find a 3.73 rear for these trucks. while i was replaceing the rear i added a few leafs and 2in block to the rear. new shocks and a flowmaster muffler too. she sits and rides a lot better.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well last week i hit a deer with my truck on the way into work. i was lucky it only caught the driver side of the bumper and didn't even touch the grill. so the deer bent the bumper and brackets. so i guess it was time for me to put the tractor trailer bumper on the truck. this is my progress so far after a lot of cutting and welding. beats spending 600 dollars for a similar bumper. all it cost me was a little time and a few dollard in cutting wheels. i still have to cut and weld the filler plates for the top. oh and paint it black.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got my hood changed last week. found my missing set of 33's so i mounted them on my 15in wheels and put them on the truck today. i painted the bumpper black. still have to finish it up but i started a new job.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

well got the bumper finished. now i need to make the grill guard. also picked up a rubber floor mat from a suburban. i put it over my carpet. got it off a friend for free.

Re: my 90 ext cab 4x4 fixer upper
 

got my fender flares from the same burban i got the rubber mat from.
