Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
What was wrong with it?
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Has a couple bad crackies.....
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Don't bother fixing it, just throw headers on it. :D :exit:
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
That's what I'm saying. Ceramic coated headers would look awesome but of course $$ is my problem too!
Did you ever think about back halfing your crew cab? Taking the rear frame off of the shortbed truck underneath the rear part of the cab so that the shortbed gas tank would definately work. I looked at a 1/2 Ton 4wd rear frame tonight and I think the frame rails are the same size. I need a battery for my micrometer or I would have really gotten some good measurements! |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
That's a pretty slick truck. Too bad you had to sell it. Priorities can be tough sometimes!
|
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 :lol: who knows :lol: and i just basically finished what he had started and drove the truck home and he wasnt too happy about that but titles were signed and it was too late. :lol: 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 |
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
:lol: sometimes it works that way!
|
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. :lol:
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
:lol: maybe one of these days ;)
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Aw heck, Scott, what difference would one more project make?:devil:
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
um kinda like adding one more mouth to feed and getting a pay decrease at the same time :lol:
|
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. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Damn had to bring up pictures.... :lol:
I promise you,you dont want to see pics of my braze job :lol: 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.. :lol: |
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
I never thought about trying nickel it might have worked? who knows? brass sure didn't.
|
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 :lol:

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?
Quote:
|
Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Nope same as you would have to cut and shorten your frame, 14 in
|
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. |

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

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..

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
Well the trans i rebuilt for my 92 Xcab goes into reverse and drive :metal: :metal: not sure if it shifts yet because it doesnt have much gas and i dont feel like going to get any just to drive it and possibly get stranded in the cold... but maybe tomorrow :lol: :lol:
