Pictures of 1981
« on: April 28, 2008, 02:47:12 pm »
The title says its an 81 anyways. 12 bolt rear with richmond 3.73 & auburn pro series diff. 10 bolt front has richmond 3.73 and eaton diff. I did away with 350/203 combo in favor of a sm465/205 bulletproof combo.  It has 6 inch pro comp springs front and rear with 37" goodyear mtrs wrapped around 15x10 ultra wheels. Up front is a Warn combo kit with Warn xd9000i winch.  I put on a line lock from Jegs to help hold the truck since I did away with the emergency brakes.  I gutted the interior and put in a new set of autometer sport comps and undercoated the floor. my newest project is building a 4bolt main 350 out of my 79 parts 2wd. Plans include 10:1 CR, Comp Cams valvetrain with xtreme 4x4 camshaft, 750 edelbrock carb and rpm intake. After I get the mouse build up paid for, Im going to drop in dana60/14 bolt swap. One piece at a time....

Thanks... I had some free time when I got home from Iraq in 2006.  Now that all that combat pay is exhausted, it's one piece at a time...

i hear ya.  i got back from Iraq in 2005 and like an idiot i wasted my money on a '96 F350 Super Cab short bed 4x4 with 6" of lift, 37" tires, 7.3 Powerstroke/5-speed manual.  it was pretty and that motor was strong, but it was a pile of crap that ended up costing me what i had saved after buying it initially.  you got something nice and reliable...i got my '83 Sierra now and i'll never give 'er up!
