Re: 1990 GMC crew cab build

Haven't got the hubs back yet, but machinist says this week.

The rear suspension is all installed minus the rear. I thought I was going to be slick and reuse the 2wd full floater rear. Since the spring perch mounts are narrower on the 2wd I have found an sf rear local for pretty cheap which I intend to pick up this week sometime the the back end should be a roller again. Although someone could probably clarify this, the rear from a 1990 gmc 2wd spring perches are narrower then a mid 80's 2wd rear. It appears the rear perches need to be in the neighborhood of 43 1/2" on center.

Although I don't have any interior pics to show I have been installing the trim that came with the truck. I will be a few pieces short and will need to source a headliner but I have no problems running without one for now.

So I have clearly missed my end of year deadline to get the truck inspected, but the Cherokee is only 10k miles short of hitting 200k, so my new plan is to continue wrenching on the truck and get 200k miles on the Cherokee.
