I think that's the Evil Twin or American Force adaptors. Which cost like $1300.

Interior looks good! Are those new door panels or refinished ? How's that steering wheel? I was looking at that 1 or the darker stain 1.

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build
 
Nice work! You will be real happy once that 12V is in there.

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build
 
Had to refinsh the door panels because you cant buy new ones foe the rear doors and fronts are not the same, Like the new wheel too

travlinman 02-08-2016 12:48 AM

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build
 
What type of paint did u use for all panels? Where and how much did u use? I need to refinish mine and do a complete color change

The interer die was from the local body paint suply store at $90 a quart and it took 2 quarts , recovered the head liner, Seats from a 2004 chevy avalanche ,
New carpet kit from lmc , sound deading matt the hole floor and Roof , the a layer of jute padding all floor and back panle , It is so much quieter going down the road now sooooo happy close to $1800 on the inside

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build
 
The rear seat belts that are attached to the floor did they come out of the Avalanche as well or did you get them from somewhere else? I just put Tahoe seats in my crew cab and the original seat belt is too wide for the Tahoe receiving end and I see yours are skinny. Thanks

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build
 
Looks just like one off a 5.3. Best bet would be to get on a Cummins site and ask.

travlinman 02-12-2016 09:04 PM

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build

Your interior looks amazing! I am getting closer to starting on the interior on my 86 crew cab project, I have 98 cloth seats from a crew cab I was gong to use but am a little concerned about the rear leg room with a crew cab rear seat. Was thinking about using an extended cab rear seat instead as I believe the bottom isnt as wide. My 87 suburban has adequate leg room and I know its got a few more inches than the stock crew cab had. Do you like how much leg room you have on the rear seat? Also does the rear seat fold down flat?

Arts712828 02-13-2016 06:51 PM

Re: 1988 Gmc crew cab build
 
with people sitting in the back you have to move the front seats up , the exsended cab seats would have worked better and easer to put in
