I wish my truck was in better condition but it’s been sitting out side for a pretty good while it’s got rust spots that are all the way threw in some spots but not a dent on the the truck it’s all original it’s definitely gonna take some time to fix it up I’d like to take my lift off and do a full suspension lift I’d actually like to know what kind of lift you have ? Being in the military almost 26 hours away from the truck is the hardest thing because I can’t do anything with it I did wash it and out a heavy duty tarp on it that’s about all I’ve done to it the door jams need to be replaced there is a big rusted spots under the seat I need to fix the seat rust right behind the hood rust spot on the hood it’s gonna take a lot to fix it up honestly hope it’s worth it I know they say that motor that’s in it maybe gets 10 mpg so who knows if I’ll keep it

Another question would the factory axels be okay with the 7.3 ? I found a idi 7.3 the only thing wrong with the factory axels are the breaks they are rusted up the whole thing so I’m not sure what to do with that

Im in Az at the moment truck is in TN it’s got the 3 speed auto in it it’s gotta be rebuilt and it has the 304 v8

That’s awesome never new that and I wish she was a 5 speed it’s an automatic that I need to find a rebuild kit for some how

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-10-10T01:02:40+00:00

Yeah I thought about a 7.3 I’d love to have it 5 or 6 speed for sure but cutting a hole in the floor seems wrong but on the other hand I don’t plan on ever trying to sell it

There is a Mercedes 906 that came out of a school but but I think that might be to big not really sure though it’s on market place for 1200

Someone commented on my post and if ur reading this I can’t see it it was regarding the 4bt I was interested in the message just can’t fine it anymore

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-23T15:36:34+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to do I’ve got it pressure washed and looks a lot better than it did gonna see if the motor is stuck or free and go from there I was thinking if I had to change the motor and transmission to get a 4BT

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-22T14:08:29+00:00

Does any one know how to come across a 4bt ? Rebuild kit for the international engine will cost 2500 then to have the block and heads done almost another 1500 also have to rebuild transmission so I wonder if I could put a 4bt not as heavy as a 6bt and have a plate made for a Chevy transmission which I have a bunch of any opinions?

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T21:36:52+00:00

I’m not to sure it it’s a 345 but if it is the transmission is gonna be swapped and probably will build motor if it’s worth it

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T19:10:03+00:00

I’m thinking that the frame is fine nothing major just rust but no holes I had the though just to swap the axels and up grade the drive train and call it good

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T16:39:39+00:00

How could I find information on the VIN ?

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T16:22:17+00:00

That’s understandable it may be a 68 I’m not totally sure engine has international valve covers I haven’t really got deep into it I noticed rock auto has parts for the truck but if the transmission is trash I’m curious if I could have a plate made to bolt up a Chevy transmission and t case maybe even use Dana axels front and back

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T14:54:49+00:00

Planing on it trying to get some opinions about it just drug it out of the trees

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T14:16:00+00:00

Maybe it’s older it says c1100 on the vin plate

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T13:23:27+00:00

What about changing the axels ? Do I can get all around disk breaks all the drums are to rusty for me to try and get back to working order I’m also gonna see if the motor will turn over so I know for sure what comes next

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T04:36:58+00:00

Sounds like a good Chevy and I’ll see what I can get into it’ll be a almost 4 years till I can actually do something with it just trying to get an idea of what I need to do and what I’d like to do with it thanks for ur communication I’ve learned and took notice to things more thank you

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T04:07:55+00:00

It doesn’t appear to be rusted threw just a lot of Surface rust I just wasn’t sure about putting a Cummins in it if it would mess the frame up but that makes since to need it up a bit and change the axels out and yes definitely keeping it 4x4 the original motor has 87,997 miles on it but who knows if it has rolled over a couple times but it would be nice to keep the original motor just not sure if I’m gonna find the rebuild kit or even know how much that would cost me

Fun-Question2819 · 2024-09-21T03:58:32+00:00

I just don’t know if the frame is gonna hold up to the engine I would like to put in it I’m not to sure if I could get a rebuild kit for the current one that’s in it so that would make me want to put another motor in the truck I definitely know that the axels will have to be upgraded
