Title: 1986 silverado
Post by: holeshotl36 on July 21, 2009, 11:24:19 pm: I just picked up my "new" 1986 chevy 3/4ton, this is my first 4wd truck, i recently just sold my first truck that was a 1974 C20 with only 55k on it, it was nice but i really wanted a 4wd 73-87, but im new to the trucks and this is my new "project"

Anyways, about the truck, its a 1986 chevy has a c-10 cab/bed swapped onto a 3/4 ton chassis, has a lightly built 350 with a turbo 350 trans, 208 t-case, and i wana say the lift is about 4in, has 35in tires

Other than that I like that front bumper on the blue truck looks like abig piece of "C" channel steel is it?

Post by: holeshotl36 on July 22, 2009, 10:57:01 pm: Ya i miss the 74, i wanted to sawp it on a 4wd chassis but i couldnt find one, and the other problem was the passenger side floor was rottin out pretty bad, the 86 is a really solid truck with no structural rust holes on the frame or cab, but i do plan on doin some body work to it and getting it re-painted, but ya the front bumper is a I-Beam, the guy i bought it off welded it on so im gona have to do some cutting to remove it, but for the time being its nice to know i dont have to worry about much front end damage lol.

Post by: Reinovator on July 22, 2009, 11:19:50 pm: Both rigs are are very nice
And the front bumper, I use that kind of steel all the time, Mobile home Frame steel I thought of rear bumpers but thought it would be over doing it on the front, Well I WAS VERY WRONG! THAT LOOKS GREAT.
its easy steel to find, easy to work with, and it's every where!!
good buy
