Re: Low mileage 1987 Chevy 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton - Undoing the hacks!

Started stripping the ‘86 down today, and listed all the parts for sale. Once the cab is off, I’ll pressure wash the frame again, perform some minor frame horn repairs (aftermarket bumper was welded on at some point), and start transferring the fuel lines over from the ‘87s TBI system. I plan on resealing the engine before it’s transferred to it’s new chassis, and checking the block for roller cam provisions - if it has them, I’ll probably swap in a Caprice cam, just for longevity. Aside from that, I’ve noticed that most steering components have play, and one front leaf spring is broken, so eventually I’ll be ordering a new pair.
