I have been a 1st gener for a couple of years now and love to consult this forum for any questions I have. Fortunetly most of the questions I have had are already answered so I havent been much of a poster. Now I am working on a strictly "race" truck. Four 1st gens later I am now in a better position to play. I have tweaked on them all a little but nothing like I have in the works for this one. I have a few picture of the work done so far I bought it a fixer upper and it is now well on its way. Its a 1989 5speed bought it for $1800 with a leaking injection pump, blown turbo, missing driverside motor mount, and only 1 brake working. Within the first few days I replaced the motormounts, front rotors, brake pads, driverside caliper, fixed non-working tailights/brake lights, new h1c from a 93 truck, and got it driveable. Now for the good stuff..... (already on) 16x8 powedercoated wheels on the rear with 28x11.5 mickey thompson et streets, 215/65/16 front tires on the cleaned up painted stock wheels, 3in lowering schakles, 5in hood stack, and some Pirate diesel stickers, brand new injection pump, 3/8in fuel lines from intank draw straw to pump, holley blue for lift pump, pump to head, boost gauge, and egt gauge... (goin on in a week or so) .065 copper head gasket, new head bolts torqued to 125lbs, big water meth kit, 60mm gds, 16cm housing..... Depending on how all of this goes, what you guys think about it, and if I am happy with the outcome then I will asses the next steps to take. Let me know what yall think and I will try to get some more pictures of the truck and goodies.:st:
