my 86 4x4 silverrado shortbed project.

hi finally making my project post.

picked this up a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the nice weather to put it on the road.
1986 silverado 4x4 short bed from oregon.
I paid a little more then I wanted but its rust free and something I've wanted one for the last 15 years since I was 12
the first things I want to do are
new radiator hoses
change all fluids and tune up
weather stripping
new fuel pump
remove steps
find oem factory 86 grill or nice repop
new trim
redo interior
mount new tires

things down the road I would like to do
built 350 or fuel injected ls swap
aluminum radiator
performance built 700r4 with better converter
14 bolt rear end with 6 lug axles and disc conversion
stronger transfer case
auto meter gauge setup
full paint job
small lift 2-4"
33" tires with 17" or 18" wheels

here is the truck



here is built sti with way toooo much money in it with my old 454ss
around 450-500hp at the motor



and this is my old beast 87 crewcab 6.2 diesel that I sold to buy my house with the rest my old fleet.
it needed a little more then I wanted to put into at the time.

6" lift and 37 military tires with alcoas in the front and simulators in the back.
not sure on the spacer in the back.
