Right now iam running the stock pulleys, i heard, that by changing one or some on the pulleys that i could gain a couple HP (loose less), I plan on shedding the mecanical fan setup aswell, could any one help me... Id like to know which pulley(s) to change and what size, as ive shoped a bit and there seem to be a couple of options. the only accessories i have are power streering pump, alterantor and the water pump, I have no A/C

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

I changed my diff on my '85 from a worn out 3:08 to a 12 bolt 3:40 out of a Big10 I think it was a '78. It's quiet and really zipped the power up but now I need a 700R4 instead of the TH350 to keep the RPM reasonable on the highway. It is indeed a 3:40, I checked it several times, counted the teeth etc. They were made stock by Chev.

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

i knew my diff assembly wasnt the gmc original, i just had no idea what it came out of.. then when rebuilding it I found the 3.40 gears... probably from a earlier chevy model i thought, and you seem to be confirming that lol

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

See if you can find a product called Zep-Alum it will clean those wheels with alittle scrubbing and make them look brand new.

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

I already started cleaning them up.. they were pretty bad,,, but with a little elbow grease, metal brushes, some sandpaper and mag polish they came out not to bad.. iam just polishing the lip and top of spokes because the inner spokes is just to much work to get too... iam thinking about either leaving it rough, or painting them, i havent decided yet ..... ill have some pics up soon.

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

ran 8.71 on the 1/8mile last w/e
i think its pretty decent for a 2ton tank :)

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

Do you have any pics of your finished seat?

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

I have the exact same rims on my '79. I use Eagle One Nevr-Dull, it seems to work pretty good. Just rub it on real good (it doesnt take much) and polish it up with a real fine steel wool. Does the trick for me at least. One of these days I'm gonna paint em, just havent got around to it yet, lol.
Sweet truck man, lookin good!

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

I dont have any on hand but ill try and take one this week and post it up here.

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

Thanks!
Sanded and polished mine with mothers mag polish there were pretty bad and im still working on them every so often i have 2 finished up. Did you have to slot them to fit your truck? mine will have to be, thought they were bolt on when I bought them.

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

Ah cool, Mother's is good stuff. Them mag wheels are a pain to keep clean, I gotta polish mine all the time just to keep em lookin decent, lol. Naw, mine actually just went right on, perfect fit!

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

Nice truck. Do you have the part # for those headers? They look great, do they hang below the frame much?

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

here are a couple pics of the seat as promised

Re: My GMC Sierra Grande: Project GOLDIE
 

Nope not at all theire a pretty nice fit but i did have to unbolt the block to get the drivers side to squeez through.
