Makes me feel guilty about driving the old beater all year round...

 

Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet but 1st mod should be gauges, boost and pyro. Then I'd go 4" exhaust, fuel pin and 3200 gov spring. I wouldnt worry about the injectors unless you plan on over 350hp, the non ic injectors can put down some power.

Stu

 

Good plan.

I would go one step further right from the git go & add an IC or water/meth before cranking up that pump or adding a fuel cone.

 

Well been really busy lately and haven't gotten the chance to do much work on this truck. I have a pile of parts sitting waiting to go in!!! KDP kit, Full set of gauges (boost, pyro, trans). Fuel pin and spring, 4" diamond eye and I have some injectors but not going to put them in just yet. Want to see how she runs first with the other stuff.

I am thinking I want to keep as much as a factory stock appearance as possible, just because it is so clean and I am keeping it more as a collectible.

 

I want to add an intercooler but do not want to change the appearance of the truck, is there a way to keep the original grill? I know a lot of people swap out for later model grills. I also have working factory air. I would like to keep that in tact also.

Once things calm down with overtime at work I will really start getting things moving here.

I am also in the middle of rebuilding my '07 transmission with all Goerend parts!!

 

Just about to start tearing her down to build her back up again! Thought I would share the last few pics before I start. I'm hoping I don't regret it! She is so perfect the way she is but I just can't resist a lift, exhaust, new rubber and some performance mods!

 

First thing I would do is put an OD trans with lockup in it.

 

First thing I would sctach off that list is the lift. I think they look so much better without. I loved the stance my 91.5 had with just the 33x12.50's, kinda the "short and stout" look.

 

I need all new springs anyway so I'm gonna give her a 2 1/2 inch lift. And Only plan on 33's or maybe 315's.

 

I'm still not sure where I want to go with that. This will not be driven everyday so I might be ok with just leaving the 727 and just rebuilding it. Not sure yet but it is on my list

 

i did a 2" lift up front, stock rear. truck sits level and looks great with 33s and room to clear 35s.

if you stick with a smaller lift and 33s, not as much need for crossover steering too. i just reinforced the frame behind my steering gear and been good for a couple years now.

 

The 89 would have the 4" rear blocks. later trucks had the 6" blocks.

 

I am running 33s on my '91.0 with no lift.

I ran 315s on my '85 W-350 SRW crew cab 12 years ago, with no lift as well. I now have 6 inches of lift and lightly cut our front fenders for the 37X13.5s to fit well.

 

Yes they do! I am definitely doing the 2 1/2 lift. Now I just need to figure out tires size. I want as big a tire as I can with no fender trimming or any rubbing at all. The truck is way to clean to start hacking fenders.


I would really like the 315's but wasn't sure they would clear with no rubbing. I know the 33's will fit.


I have the 35's on my '07 Maybe I can give them a try first, after the lift is in, before I decide.

 

I now have 315s on the '90 in my signature. They rub at lock on the drag link and the edge of the fenders with a little bit of spring compression, like curbs or a ditch when off road. I run 8 inch wheels and I think it would be worse with wider ones. 295s from BFG fit perfectly, the only reason I am running the 315s is I got them at half price.
