Made some progress. Bought a motor off a buddy, it is a 350 tbi out of an 87 suburban with low km's. His burb is a big mud truck, lifted on dana 60's with 37" tires, oh and covered in mud.. Pulled it, cleaned it up, painted the block put some full length flowtechs on. Waiting on my intake manifold thats on its way. Also got hei, msd's, and holley 600 vacuum secondary for cheap.

So here it goes, out with the old

in with the new

writing on oil pan = my buddy dented it, wanted to make it known that it was not me

Hoffman65burb · 04-22-2009, 06:58 PM

Little painting today. Broke my heater core too.

2fat2furious · 04-22-2009, 11:35 PM

Yes! Another GMC. I don't know why but it seems to me that most people have chevy's! Very nice truck!

**Palf70Step** · 04-23-2009, 10:17 PM

MrBeast · 05-28-2009, 09:50 AM

I tell you what man, you are doing good work, nice build keep it up. It looks like by the time you are done that you are going to have a really clean truck on your hands.

bigguy69 · 05-28-2009, 07:03 PM

sounds good! cant wait to see the burnout video!

Hoffman65burb · 05-28-2009, 07:33 PM

So today, got the truck driving, backed it off the hoist, was running strong. Took it around the parking lot for about 10 mins, then it began to run like #$%^... Checked the timing, its 15 degrees. As of now it wont idle, so i am going to have to do some testing tomarrow

She lives! Heres the first start up after wiring.

a float was stuck open, simple fixed, hooked up the choke fixed some wiring, she runs like a dream. Time to finish up the suspension then its onto the body/interior!

Parts coming:
Front bumper
Rear roll pan
Black carpet
All new trim

Parts in near future:
Silverado buckets with buddy bucket
Grant Steering wheel
Dash
Possible cowl hood

The list will grow

Thanks, well, once the front discs are on it is road worthy. Since i have brought the truck up from the states it needs to pass provincial inspection, so stuff like exhaust exiting out the side, all the lights working all that fun stuff. Hoping to have it done by october.

VA72C10 · 06-20-2009, 11:07 PM

Looks good...I'll be checking out the progress.
