'94-up e-brake pedal
https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...68&oe=54506F0B

Now this...is the fun. Carpet and 4x4 shifter from an '02 Dodge Ram. I will be integrating the Dodge floor into mine; I'll be using the Dodge carpet and shifter, along with the Dodge power seats.

And last....my new spring stack. From a '98 3/4-ton.

Not much to update. But here's a few things.
Getting ready to go through and repaint. Going black with all of my plastic, and red with all of my vinyl.

Here's a complete tail light circuit board with all of my LED bulbs

Next on my list of things to do was add a 95-up hood release:

Haven't done much updating on here lately. My floor is currently cut out and I'm in the process of getting the floor from an '02 Ram in. On a side note...I cracked open my 14 bolt today. Just outta curiosity, and got a lovely look at that diff...I'm a happy camper

I've been busy. Truck's outback in the driveway, floor welded in, but I haven't touched it in a while. Cold weather decided to hit. I did however score me a new DD while the beast is under construction. '96 Silverado light duty 6-lug C2500 for $400. Bought with a bad 4L60-E, I put a 4L80-E out of a '99 in it. Runs like a champ.

That will work for a while!

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 
Definitely. I was hoping to have the 4x4 done before the cold hit. But nothing goes how it should. Oh well. As long as I get it back on the road before it hits the two-year mark of being a project. :lol:

$25 Stepside off a '93? Oh hell yeah. I'll rock it. :metal:

Oh hey. I'm back. And after being broke and having absolutely zero time to get this truck ANYWHERE....it's time to make her roar again. Currently working on the engine. Plan is get the engine, trans, and t-case set back in the frame in the next say month or so. And go from there. This thing is still in pieces and has been on the back burner for too damn long!

Thanks Bill. I hate that I haven't posted so long and the beast still isn't done. But it's been work work work with no leftover money and zero time for this thing.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 
Freshly repainted 350...matte black block with Chevy orange valve covers and silver timing cover....still need to do my intake though.
This is the same one I half-ass rattle canned orange all those years ago.

It's been a good minute since I've posted any updates. Honestly considered just waiting til the beast was done. I'll be posting update pics later today.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 
Okay so it's been a few days. :lol: Time for the updates...
350 and 4L60E are in, and about 95% re-dressed, along with fancy new headers.
https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net...b2&oe=5977B193
https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net...f1&oe=5977F6C8
Bought me a pair of Cherry Bomb Extreme mufflers...gonna run her true dual.
https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net...8c&oe=59887FEF
And last so far....the shoes. 15x10 Cragar Nomad IIs wrapped in brand new 35x12.50 Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires....meaty.

Thanks Bill! That's the plan....louder than it's ever been. I've got a buddy with a '98 Mustang GT that had a couple SLP Loudmouths with no cats....thing is loud as hell. I plan on it being around there. I'll be running 2 high-flow cats with my mufflers.

Re: 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 Shortwide Z71 Conversion
 
Well, not the prettiest set up...but it works for what I've got. Exhaust is done. Still need to run hangers though. She's 100% true dual....no y-pipe, no connections. Two pipes, two cats, two mufflers. I'm happy with it. :D

Also got some goodies. New 12.5" long u-bolts from Rough Country.
https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...37&oe=59A35A48

And has anyone redone their speed sensor buffer modules with DIP switches? It's a pain in the ass. :lol:
