350 out of a caprice, 700r4 to replace worn out 350 tranny, 4 inch lift, 33s on west coast chopper 20 inch wheels. Still have a good size list of things to to do it before its my DD. I need to change out stock 3.08 to 4.10 or 4.56, not sure which ones yet. Just ordered a new carpet kit, definately needs a new exhaust system, put A/C pump and lines back in for the hot summers here in california, and find a tach to put in place of the fuel guage. And of course an alarm system so I dont do all of this work for someone else to steal and enjoy. Its nice to see these 4x4 square bodies, I rarely see any where Im at. |

Re: 73-87 4x4s
It was in pretty good shape when I got it. I bought it from my old college roomate, and him and his dad were restoring it in the late 1990s when his dad suddenly passed away. They had swapped the caprice engine in, changed to a 350 tranny from the stock 700r4 that was toasted, done all of the paint and body work, and added all the chrome and new emblems. It had a broken flexplate and been parked until we fixed that and got it running for a little while, until one day he hopped in after changing the oil, didnt let it warm up, and decided to go hot rod it down his street. Came back with a bad knock, and I knew he spun a bearing, so he parked it in 2004 in his garage, and there it stayed until I bought it and shipped it to california. The paint is in excellent shape considering it was done around 1994-1995, being that its been garaged until now. I have done a lot to it mechanically, putting the 700 back in and fixing the engine. It makes it much easier having my dads race shop to tear it all apart. You can see a few of his cars in the back ground of the first picture.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
must have been a farm truck, it was most certainly abused, I drug it out of the junk yard long enough to get what was left of it. front end, rear end, drive shafts and 350 engine. stuck a battery in it and it spun right over, I was surprised.

Re: 73-87 4x4s

In the second pic you can see the lift blocks. I'm not happy with them, and I'm always the first to say don't do it, but the rest of the truck was in such great shape I couldn't pass it up, over something I can change easily. I just didn't intend to lose work as fast as I did, so things go put on hold. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4019_large.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4018_large.jpg |

Re: 73-87 4x4s
Don't put blocks in the front, I hate them, they are dangerous, my truck has them because of the PO, and as I stated they are coming out in the next week or so. Your front end probably sags because your suspension is old, once you put the new 6" lift in you'll have plenty of room for 35's and your truck well level out.

Not only are front blocks dangerous, they are illegal.
