cool! sounds like a good deal.

Nice thing about those trucks, they made a bunch of them. So it's pretty easy to find parts at the wrecking yards.

Well so far I changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, changed the oil, installed new plugs and put a new o'ring on the tranny dipstick. So the total is now getting towards 500.00 "including truck price". Tomorrow I'm going to take the carpet and seats out and power wash them, as well as clean/wash the rest of the truck..

I runs seems to run pretty good... I only got to drive it down my uncles driveway, which is about a mile long, but it seems pretty peppy... Should be on the road soon! :words

Im actually thinking about putting a small block in my jimmy. Its pretty easy on 2wd's but you need to mod the oil pan on a 4wd. No big deal tho. Im not goin to skool for automotive for nothing :thumbsup

Hehe, gatoraid and chicken? Tomorrow I should be doing massive burn outs! :bow It'll be a nice change, I have a 2.3 ranger now.

Kiki, I'll put anti-freeze in your water... so help me god! :help: :bow :unwell011 :bigwink:

But seriously, its a pretty nice truck... It does need some interior work though, but I have all that... Also some it will be fiberglass, so who cares...

WOOT WOOT

Sounds like a really nice truck. The 4.3 is a really nice motor I wish my s10 had one instead of the 2.2, but oh well. Have fun with it.

I can make any motor sound lopey!
just mess up the timing hahaha

The 4.3 responds well to mod's, so i'll probably just leave it. It's surpose to be bored 30 over, have a cam, and had port and polish worked done... I got it in the garage but havent really had the chance to look it all over. I know it sounds pretty loopy, so it I dont doubt the cam part. I'm going out tomorrow and investagating some more, so I'll know more then.

Drop a 350 in it :) Surprisingly easy swap in those trucks, I've seen it done many times.
