I picked this up last week for a pretty good price....started doin some small stuff. Specs below....

350
350 turbo/208 transfer case
4 inch lift (springs in front, blocks in rear)
Corporate 14 bolt floating rear axle/Dana 44 Front axle
4.56 (wanna step it down to 4.10)
35 inch tires (two new ones, I'm getting two more very soon)
3/4 ton frame and suspension, 1/2 ton body

Has pretty solid floor pans and corners.....one rocker needs replaced, and there is spotty rust. But it's pretty ssoli for the year.

The pics are from the old owners house.....since I'm in Lincoln Park/Downriver I fit in a little more with this thing....lol! It's kinda redneck, but for the price and what I needed it for it is going to work out GREAT!!! This this is painfully EASY to work on and the parts can be bought for pennies.....and best of all, since I got this instead of taking on a new car payment, I'll be able to put more money and time into my Z28.
 
Had a few of these trucks,seat is in good shape from the looks of it,ide put 2 new bumpers and a winch on this bad mofo
 
The front "I-beam" was swapped out by the last owner, who tried to weld on an original type bumper.....I'll be cutting it off once I get something else for it and cutting up some new brackets at work. I can't wait to get two new tires up front and get it off road.

I'm already loving how cheap everything is for this thing.....I'm planning to do a rear disc brake swap which will cost me a total of $200, and that includes brand new calipers pads and rotors! Shoud turn out to be a decent tow rig that I can drive daily since I live so close to work.
 
Going to put the same tires that are on the rear, onto the front? Should be a fun ride in the snow!

Definately going to try and match the new fronts with what's on the rear.....even thought of downgrading to 33's for highway mileage, but if I can get the gear swapped I hope to be able to keep the 35's.
 
Looks cool! I hope you plan to attack that rust before it spreads. I know those truck are notorious for rusting. But I also know they have patch panels and replacement entire panels available cheaply. Might as well keep it in good shape. Looks pretty nice for the most part.
