This is my 1990 Chevy Stepside. I bought this truck from my friend after he rolled it over. Took about 3 years to build but was definitely worth it. Feel free to sign my guestbook and tell me what you think.
I currenty blew my transmission(700-R4) Upgraded to a 4L-60E transmission from a 1996 tahoe. Used the 96 tahoe intake manifold and converted the wiring so my truck has a true Vortec 350. Also, upgraded to the 96 dash.
It is so much better with the Vortec..
Pics of the swap are on the last 3 pages.
