Re: 71 4x4 SWB

Bump on this old thread.

Lost ambition on this truck so for the past couple years I built a 2wd shortbox and a 69 Suburban. So turning back to this one now with motivation again! I bought this truck when I was 17 and I'm now 34 so it deserves to finally get back on the road.

But plans are changing. I've decided to rip out the 350 and 4 speed and throw a 5.3 in it. I've got my donor engine and will be using the 4l60e. Dakota digital gauges, lokar floor shifter, advance adapters kit and my wiring harness are ordered. So playing the waiting game now. But this thing will get done this winter, and hopefully get the box painted shortly after.

Picture is me loading it up this past weekend to haul it to the shop for the winter.
