Project Blackout... 94 GMC
-
Alright guys, its about time for me to get back into the scene. I have been gone long enough... I am building a 94 GMC Sierra GT. Reg cab shorty. All black. not a lot planned...
I plan to shave the tail gate, install a roll pan, fix the front end damage, black out the lights with spray, not covers. LED Tails, LED 3rd brake, Sport package mirrors. AR American Razor 22s, and new black nerf bars. Also a Belltech 3"/4" Drop.
this is what i am going for but a little different things.


I plan to cut holes in the pan and run the exhaust out that instead of hangin it below. Will look a lot cleaner.
These are the wheels, 22 x 9.5" I get them through work pretty cheap. The are American Racing Razors

All the parts for the first stages of the build will be here within the month.

That is not my truck, i have the exact one, just smashed up in the front, and not lowered yet... That is just he basic look im going for... Yes i have mirrors ordered....
The list of goodies that are on the way is as follows:
-Front LH Fender
-Front LH Inner Fender
-Rad Support
-Grille
-Smooth Front Bumper
-Smooth Air Deflector(no tow hook or fog light holes)
-Reproduction Sport Package Mirrors(stubbies non folding)
-Rear Roll Pan
-22" AR American Razor wheels
-Chrystal Clear headlights with black housings
-Dual eye Park/Turn signals black housing
-LED 3rd Brake light
-LED Tails
-Black Door Panels
-Slim Line in-channel Window Vizors
-Westin Black Step Bars
-Cowl Induction Hood
-BellTech 3"/4" Drop kit (keeps 4wd)(Yes, the truck is 4wd, and yes, i am lowering it)Also im not sure what motor we are puttin in it yet, either a 383 or a 327... Carb'd.... Screw TBI...

its driving now as my daily... It only has 130k on it... til its fixed, about a month, parts are on the way then they gotta go to hawley for paint. I got all the parts through my work for good prices and will be installing most of it there. Its not too smashed up, just the left front is a lil hit. It looks just like that truck minus the height, and headlight covers.
til it is completely finished?? are any of our cars ever complete? lol
The only reason why im buildin an old school 327 or 383 is i hate tbi, i hate the leaky oil cooler lines on the tbi 350's, and you cant do shit to the tbi motors....

Here are some pics, i just found some on here. Note the trime runnin down the bottom of the box. It just adds something different to a truck, so i wanna keep it. And that is why i am putting nerf bars back on it. Yes the z71 decals are going, along with the sierra gt on the doors eventually, first its the z71 as the door decals will prolly be next summer when the whole truck gets repainted, not just the front end parts.

Do rice cans and stick them through the roll pan, I had a friend that did it in high school and it was pimp....

the 350 tbis have a different intake mani bolt patern and the also have clip in oil cooler lines... Any sbc edelbrock IM will not bolt on, need to redrill one or the other, not worth it. And there is no way to fix the leaky oil cooler lines on these tbi motors... new ones leak right away. so its either get new heads and still have oil leaking under the hood, or buy a whole motor...
Yes, it was in the for sale section, i bought it off bader in the fall...
And yes, im lowering a 4wd... i can not stand the look of these shortys lifted. Plus i do not want a lifted truck. and i still want 4wd for icy roads in the winter.

The cam in the tbi also doesn't work too well with carbs, not enough vacuum at idle. You can always get the Edelbrock mpfi and spend a crapload of $ for alittle bit of hp and throttle response but most people ( except myself) know better and get rid of the clunker. Harwood let me know on parts that you won't be using, body, engine anything really. I can always use spare parts.

That is not true! My little brother has a 92 chevy 1500 and we dropped in a jegs crate motor but we have the exhaust all done. We also have an Edelbrock performer intake,mild cam and some induction stuff. Sure you cant do alot of stuff to them but as long as you keep the ecu happy with the cam selection then you should be ok. As for the leaky oil cooler lines.......buy the adapter that doesnt need the lines. O well.....you do as you want im not bashing your ideas just thought i would drop my .02.
