Hello.
« on: July 03, 2012, 04:51:26 pm »
Hello.

Just looking to gather intel for my new project.   Maybe shoot some ideas around, whatnot. 
Not my first project, just my biggest (longest).

1991 V3500 Crew cab long box, SRW, 4x4, sm350, 4L80E, NP205, D60, 14FF, 6" Rough Country lift. 





Looking to clean it all up, and make her a head turner.  Some nice little 35" mud tires, chrome wheels, fresh paint, and two full tanks of gas!

Welcome to the site from NH. Nice clean straight looking truck.

Sounds like the perfect plan so far! Only thing you forgot was the exhaust to keep the rice burners quivering, those things are like flies around stop lights. ;D

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!

Oh, it'll have plenty of rumble.  Loud pipes save lives, reduce my anger, and give them little bambi's an early warning that over 5,000lbs of "I ain't letting off the gas for nothing" is barreling down at them...  Besides, them little ricer are nice to have around, sometimes you need a shiney little wheel chock.

     Welcome from California.  Should be a very nice truck when you get it done.

Welcome from Alaska.  Looks like a great project.  I really like the grilles on that era of crews.  I would love to have one of these mod'd with a Duramax and Allison 6-spd.

Thanks for all the welcomes.  No engine swaps, or heavy mods planned.  Just a classic, mildly lifted, weekend cruiser.  Always wanted a square crew, gonna take my time and enjoy this rig.  Always seems my 73-87's just withered away over the years.  I hate living in the "salt belt"...
