Title: rebuild
Post by: ChevyFOREVER on March 24, 2011, 01:00:34 am

I need to put a paint job, tires and chrome wheels, chrome mirrors grill and bumpers, and a lift kit what would this cost me? This would be on the Chevrolet Model m1008 cargo truck any year between 1984-1986 is good. Also is it necessary to put turbo chargers on?

There are too many variables. What quality do you want. I would go talk to shops locally. You wont find the price here.

no but they are an improvement. I dont have a diesel, so I cant speak specifically. Use the search function and look around.

I'm guessing your truck has the 6.2 in it which with out a turbo is about as slow as it gets, but it is pretty good at pulling and considering how well it does on fuel you can hardly complain. The turbo will make it faster and maybe a little better on fuel. The full turbo kits are getting harder to find and run over a grand at least in decent shape but most people really like the addition.

Banks Sidewinder kit is about 2200 bucks and has gains of 60 hp and 115 ft/lb of torque at the rear wheels, with MPG increase.

are you asking top speed or acceleration? It all depends on what gears you have also.
