Come on down! I’m not all that far

Got my computer back today! Put it back in and went to fire it up and the junky imported fuel rails leaked at every fitting no matter what I tried…. I broke down and ordered nice Holley ones from Summit Racing because I don’t want a fire hazard that I can’t trust. They’ll be in early next week hopefully

Also more than happy to FaceTime anyone interested or just talk on the phone about the truck. Just pm me for my number. I really would prefer it go to a good home to someone intended to restore it

It’s not posted there yet cause it’s not worth the headache right now. If I still have it in a couple weeks I’ll fix the few things wrong and post it there. Worse case I have another plan but I really don’t need another truck

It does have some really nice parts on it. It’s honestly worth more in parts than it is whole. Hoping someone will buy and restore it

Road trip!

Everyone on FB cried when I was going to part it out so going to try and sell it whole first

Posting this here for sale because I really didn’t need to buy it but wanted to save it from the guys yard. It was sitting for a few years but fired right up with a fresh battery. Does have pretty much all the options including factory air conditioning, tilt column, full cluster, chrome package and its 4wd. The guy I bought it from said it ran hot so he changed the water pump and radiator it didn’t fix the issue so he parked it. He had the wrong rotation water pump on which I am going to fix this weekend. Almost brand new aluminum radiator and I have a decent fan shroud I will install as well. Just installed new battery cables and replaced the fusible links as they were pretty hacked up. Will need a clutch master/ slave cylinder, a battery and new tires. Truck is rust free other than the front floors which is pretty typical. I will end up fixing this stuff if it doesn’t sell but figured I’d post it here first just to see if there’s any interest as it currently sits. Asking $2k as it currently sits, clean clear SC title in hand. I’ll increase the price and list it other places the more work I do to it. I can also deliver within a few hours of orangeburg, SC for an extra fee

Pretty much just been tinkering with all the little stuff the last couple weeks. Lots of general cleaning up and zip tying stuff out of the way. Took a few photos of the engine bay all finished up as well as of the finished exhaust installed. Only things really left are the plug for the VSS and the computer flashing. Had a “buddy” that was supposed to do it for me for the cost of the credits then he changed that so I sent it off to Brendan at LT1Swap who is going to do it for $75

Tom woods driveshaft arrived and got installed today

I appreciate it!

From what I’ve read you have to program the ecm for the different pulse count but that’s it. I’m hoping to have mine tuned in the next couple weeks so we will see how it goes

Rear diff is back together with a lube locker gasket, fresh gear oil and a new 1330 yoke. Exhaust is also welded together. I’m not an exhaust guy by any means but it looks pretty decent overall. This was my first time welding stainless so it’s not all that pretty but I don’t think it’s going anywhere. Just waiting on a couple clamps to put the muffler on and copper collector gaskets to final install everything

I have done both a vortec V8 and am finishing an LS swap now. I drove my Vortec v8 all through college and it was a great driver with sniper EFI and I find it simpler than the LS. If I ever V8 swap another one that’s the route I’d probably go again

I also got the VSS adapter installed. Ordered it from Novak but it was made by Dakota Digital. Lets me keep the oem Renix speedometer and still generate a VSS signal for the LS. Also got the belt installed and check engine light put into the clock panel
