Here is how I got it. The inside was tore up, steering column gone, and brake booster missing too.


After dragging it in the shop we (We being my Dad, and myself) started by pulling the front clip off. Calling it a evening after that, but not before putting some blaster on different bolts.


Next we pulled the drive shafts, and transfercase. Then I cut the exhaust out, and we pulled the tranny.


The bolts holding the bed just spun, so we cut them.


Then we put the roller axle under it. Which is getting changed for another 12-bolt that has the specs listed above.


Decided on a 350 I had. So I pulled that out of the C20 it was in. It is a fresh rebuild. Still has hash marks.


After pulling the engine, and getting the front lift mocked in I switched to the inside. Since this truck is a Silverado it had all the fancy stuff inside. I took all of the parts out because I honestly don't want them.


I wire wheeled the frame, and put a rust stopper on it.


I pulled the steering column from the '81. Since it doesn't have the wiper controls on it, I'm also installing the wiper controls from the '81 in the dash.



Here is the dash mocked in. I'm going to be running Sport-Comp gauges for the smalls, and Pro-Comp for the bigs.


Painting the inside.


I painted the frame. It is covered in brushed on rustoleum Hammered paint. I used it because it goes on very thick, and dries hard.

Projector Headlights for a 1991 Suburban should be 7X6 H6052 lights. Need to confirm this.

H4 5000k bulbs for strong white beam.

Possible painted on headlight shields using flat black grill paint. Use tape to mask lights until proper, then put masking tape on the bottom edge of first tape line, and remove first tape. Clean/scuff and paint!

Need to make custom fuel lines. Mcmaster carries "Loop Clamps" with coating. Need 1/2", and 3/8" for fuel lines. Also need 1/4" for brake line. Stainless bolts, and lock nuts for hardware.

Jegs carries both 1/2" and 3/8" aluminum fuel line!

Possible tires: Fuzion XTi
