To hell and back '91 1500
 

Here is a couple pictures of my truck I'm pretty much having to restore. When i got it, it was in horrible condition, nothing worked. $600 later and its running and driving, but not pretty yet (thats the expensive stuff). It started out as a 4.3 5 speed. When i got it, it had a worn out 350 with a blown th350. I converted it back to a 5 speed with a centerforce clutch, and found some wheels for cheap. Here it is from when p/o got it, destroyed it, and the day i brought it home. My baby needs a heart transplant soon(the truck lol)

Slammed all around

From then, i do not know what happened, but it was abused.

The day i brought it home, the doors were screwed shut, and the interior was stripped (no door panels or trim)

Cheap set of wheels and tires (others were showing wires) and a set of doors that open and shut, yay!

Another set of wheels, with good tires, then my centers got jacked :(

The motor after i cleaned it up a little bit, with new breather and chevy orange valve covers.

Thats it for now, ill update it when it gets primered and dropped. It needs a new bed and tailgate, nother set of straight doors, and a windsheild and it will be getting there.

DANG, sounds like a good project lol. Did you sell it to some one and they messed it up or what? And any idea where you got the rims?

Re: To hell and back '91 1500
 

No, i bought it for $400, the P/O destroyed it. I got the rims off craigslist.

Re: To hell and back '91 1500
 

That's one way to fix sagging doors! :lol:

Good luck man. Looks like you've got a long way to go, but those can be the most satisfying.

just put new glass in it with a solid back glass. Doing body work right now and the engine is on a stand :cool:

Re: To hell and back '91 1500
 

Whad you do with the old back glass? I've always loved the sliding rear window. (Must be a little boy growing up with daddy's truck that had it problem. My father had a 90 RCLB 350 auto that was in line to be mine but was sold before I was of age to drive the beast, it had the sliding rear window)

Re: To hell and back '91 1500
 

I still have the glass but i couldnt save the frame. It leaked bad anyway
