Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Yeah i know..
i had an old Oriellys delivery Nissan truck that i lowered and put 6 lug chevy wheels on and a guy at the votech i went to had that truck and it didnt run, he gave me $500 and the 83 for the Nissan, i went over there to get it (only saw pics) and he had the distributor out in the floor board, turns out he was doing a tune up and pulled the distributor ![]() ![]() ![]() It was red and was missing most of the interior, i went to pull-a-part and scrounged up all i needed and sold it for 4200 i think.. its been a few years back Last edited by scotts62; 01-26-2010 at 12:11 AM. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
I agree with Travis that was a pretty slick truck man! Now we just need to get you back over to the square body side.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
That was a great looking truck! Sucks you had to sell. I have been there too.
Hows the manifold welding going? I had pretty good success welding a bung for the o2 sensor on the 86. I used a tig and stainless filler worked pretty good. Let me know if I can try to weld it for you. |

I tried to do weld up a inboard manifold last week with no success, then switched to braze....man it looked good but as soon as it cooled the crack got bigger than before. I think its just too thick to fix. I told my friend, your just going to have to buy a new one. Some of the cast metal can be welded, some can't just depends on the metal? Good luck! and don't forget pictures. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Damn had to bring up pictures....
![]() I promise you,you dont want to see pics of my braze job ![]() I ground the cracks out with a burring bit then used a rose bud and heated the manifold up nice and hot then switched to a brazing tip and got around the crack glowing red and used a nickel rod, it seemed to do the trick but i really dont want to have to do it again so ill probably buy a new one.. ![]() |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
It looks as if it sealed it up, i dont know i may try it and see, it didnt take too long to take it off so it wont be as depressing as say my trans if it doesnt work

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Do you remember how much you had to move the hanger forward? I think there is roughly 18" difference right?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
I need to go back and check my measurements again. I measured 93" from the center of front bed mount to the rear edge of the frame on my longbed and 75" on a shortbed frame at the junkyard. Of course there is 5" diff behind the rear shackle bracket between the two also.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
There is 14in difference in a long bed and short bed, i measured exactly 14 out and put the brackets there and the wheel is centered nicely.
Now i cut about 18in off the back after i moved everything but the actual rear end movement is 14in. Last edited by scotts62; 01-31-2010 at 11:43 AM. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Actually, I use a stainless rod for cast when welding the tig and brass with when torching. But stainless has nickel in it so yes I normally use a nickel alloy.

There is 5" that has to come out behind the rear shackle bracket, so that would add up to 18". |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
I would cut another inch out otherwise the wheel will probably not be right in center of wheel well..
