Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

Nice. Since i know you're a CA kid like me, what's your plan for getting it registered as a diesel?

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

yep thats a hard to find column. I'm going to make my own, got tired of looking!

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

Photos as requested.. I welded the seat back hinge and lower seat cushion clip mount assembly to a 2X3 inch section of angle iron...

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

The cool thing is that I started with a 6.2 diesel so the truck is already smog exempt!

So I picked up my steering column today and it's in excellent condition!
Looks like I have a buyer for my 1974 FJ55 who is coming by tomorrow. Soon I will have some serious Change to throw at the crew cab to get this baby on the road...

Les Schwab called me today and said my tires will be here Friday! Man I am amped!

Below my FJ55 that I just wrapped up and here is a link to the build thread if you are interested in checking it out:

Now I know this isn't a Chevy or GMC but this baby is helping me fund building one!

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

Thanks for the seat pics. How much room does it look like there will be for the rear passenger leg room? My 14 year old son is 6' 1" already.

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

Well, back when I had started this build I had ordered an Atlas 3-1 gear reduction transfer case to install behind my G56 6 speed manual trans which will allow me to run my GM Passenger side third member Dana 60 front end. After this project lost momentum about a year ago I cancel the order.

Today I put in a new order for my Atlas transfer case and because I have have liquidated a few projects and had a few extra dollars to throw around I decided to have them build this thing to be bullet proof! The delivered total was just over $3100.00. After purchasing my tires a few days ago that ran $1800.00 I'm beginning to feel like this truck is really going to get done in a fairly short time frame (And that my pockets are getting really light... SCARY!)

The next few days I will begin what will be the best part of this build, the installation of the 2007 24 Valve Cummins Diesel!

Stay tuned my forum family!

I also did what diesel wrencher is saying on my clutch.

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

What makes you think the chevy master will operate a dodge pressure plate? (Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to save you some head aches.) We tried one from a 91-98 chevy on my brother's truck when he put in the nv4500 and it wouldn't disengage the clutch far enough. I ended up installing a 94-02 dodge set up on it instead.

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

I don't.. Once I have the GM Clutch Master all I have to do is fill the reservoir and do a fluid volume test. If the Volume of fluid pushed in one pedal stroke equals that of the Dodge than I'm golden... Worst case I can retro the Dodge clutch master to that of the GM Clutch pedal...

Brake Master cylinders work the same way: "Disc" is a low volume / high pressure Master cylinder, "Drum" High Volume / Low pressure which is why you cannot run a disc master with drum breaks...

I don't think you are being a jerk but come on, you should know me better than to be a hack by now!

Re: Custom 1987 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed
 

It isn't being a hack, there are several different pressure/volume master cylinders in chevy and dodge apps. Just trying to save you some time man.

I picked up a hydraulic pedal assembly today. Man what a pain to pull! Hope that one at your wrecking yard works out. Sounds like a really good deal!
