Well. This is technically my girlfriends. I've been doing work on it for 3 years now. I shattered the rear u-joint once and shattered the tcase tail housing. Its been in 2 accidents. 1 was the previous owner. And the other a lady in an f150 pulled out in front of my girlfriend and she tboned her. At 40mph all I had to do is replace the bumper I currently am in the process of a plenum repair but with an 01 intake and kegger mod :0 I need to fix my "wild vents" as someone named it. Eventually getting headers from summit and a Gibson super truck exhaust. With a magma flow cat. High flow water pump. 180f stat. Has oversized 8mm spark wires for the pending coil change to a 42000v coil on champion copper racing plugs unless someone suggests better plugs. Also does anyone know why the truck has a 53 sticker on the frame?

 

driver side. papers say 97 but the door says 96.





a little frame rust motor eventually to be turned into a project for a mud buggy











passenger side





rear axle and what i was told is a 6 inch lift. its a stiff ride and needs shocks though





soon to go in after parts are order. going from 96 intake with center plane to an 01 intake.

 

i guess something i should have looked into. anyone know the tap thread for the second temp gauge for the water sensor? or can i just run without the gauge sensor and screw the pcm sensor in the hole?

 

I believe it's 1/4-18 NPT. I did the same thing on a 99' intake.

 

Those are 2" blocks in the back. The lower block with the 'arm' hanging out of it is stock. Those are the bump-stops.

What's the front look like? (suspension.)

 

I'll have to take a picture tomorrow. I think it's got added leafs.

 

And larger springs in the front.

 

Does look that way.... I think stock was only three or four....

 

That would explain the rough ride... I want to swap for lifted leafs but don't know what to buy as I haven't done anything with suspension before. And don't know if I would have to mod anything

 

Attempt to post front suspension from phone
Edit:didn't work
