I picked this truck up last fall for about 5 grand and couldn't believe how clean it was. i'm looking to make a trail truck out of it.
i've only dumped about 300 bucks into it so far on a GT Grant steering wheel and K & N Maxflow 14x3 air cleaner. other than that it's stock. plan on re-arcing the springs and mounting 33 inch pro comps before winter along with a 670cfm 4-barrel Holley Truck Avenger offroad carb. Got MSD offroad ignition bought used from a friend waiting to go in as well with a set of Bosch Platinum +4 plugs. can't get over that stock 3 speed trans though, no OD really ruins your day. nothing like 7 miles to the gallon in the city:-) I'd like some suggestions from anyone who's ever removed the A/C from this vehicle. i've removed every hose and have yet to remove the compressor. i realize that i will have to fabricate a way to lower the alternator to allow the belt to clear the water pump. any suggestions on making this more painless would be welcome.
