I was going to school in idaho, but have since graduated and moved back to sac. I am currently converting this to 2wd with corvette IFS and IRS with coilovers all around.

Maybe more people would like my truck if it were rattle can flat black and had stock or pep boys steel wheels with white walls....

Oh well about the motor not being a caprice, Thats what I was told. Im gonna throw a new cam and vortec heads on it as Im changing frames over.

Vortec heads will make the Compression ratio just right for pump gas. and You may have a caprice engine, Just not a police caprice engine. the truck looks great, Its just the getto wheels that look horrible. no need for whitewalls, just some good looking regular size wheels will be fine.

Hello everyone, Im new to this site, but love the info and other peoples rides on here, so I figured I would register and put my truck on as well. Its a 1984 GMC Sierra Classic I bought from my college roomate, and have been slowly getting it where I want. It had an engine out of a newer caprice cop car, but he had spun a bearing in the bottom end, and an old tired turbo 350 tranny. I yanked out the engine, freshened it up, and had a new 700r4 built for it because as I remember, the 350 tranny was horrible on the freeway. I had a friend that had the wheels from a truck he sold a few years and didnt have any use for them so I threw them on too. they are jesse james .50 cal 20"s on toyo 33" tires. I have done a few lil things here and there on it since its been a runner, but I am parking it for the winter so I can save for the big projects I wanna do to it in the spring, such as:

-either 4.10 or 4.56 gears
-new exhaust (currently has 2 inch pipes with old glass packs. Want to do 2.5, x piped into dynomax mufflers)
-put the A/C pump and lines back in from the previous owner that removed them.
- polyurethane bushings
-carpet kit
-either reupholster my seats or diff seats?
- digital dash
- either 1 or 2 JL audio new 12tw flat sub(s)
- Remote start/ alarm
- new upper and lower ball joints
- shocks/ steering stabilizer

I will be posting updates as I go, hope you enjoy! And If you see something you think would work better than what Im trying to do, let me know, Im always open to sugguestions
