New member here, I thought I’d start a thread to document the mechanical rebuild of this new to me truck. It’s in pretty decent condition inside and out considering its age, the idea here is a little paint correction here and there. There is 2 small rust issues to deal with but nothing major. The biggest issue is the mechanical, I think the truck has been off the road for some time and it leaks oil from litterally everywhere just sitting in the garage there’s puddles under the rear diff, transfer case & engine. The goal is a nice driver with rebuilt drivetrain without going down the rathole of a body off restoration, already did that with a squarebody and at the end of it it’s too nice to drive or park anywhere LOL.
Plan is to gather some parts and pull the drivetrain out this fall and go through everything to make it roadworthy. It has the TBI 305 in it which will be replaced with a TBI 350 (big thanks to Sean Buick76 for offering this up!)
I do have a question about replacing the grille, it currently has the stock all chrome 92 grille in if and I’d like to swap it out for the 94up all chrome grille. Is there any modifications needed? Do the current left and right small filler panels bolt to it any other parts needed? I’ll post some pics of the truck and grille any help is appreciated.
