91 Sport

[SS350Sport]

I picked this up from some farmers that thought it had a rod knock. They done a home brew rear flip, no C notch, stock rear shocks, 2" drop spindles. 2/6 drop (NICE). When I fired it up I knew it wasn't a rod knock, maybe cracked flexplate or bad front pump. Left them thinking it was a rod and paid $1800 and hauled it home.

As found



Rod knock = broken converter & pump


I decided to weld in the C notch's. Good idea, you'll see why




Crack pipe smok'n Drunk rearend me after a car show Sept 09




It bent the frame where the rear cab mounts are.






Rebuild progress, frame straightened, hidden hitch, roll pan etc.

Nice price. Keep us up to date. I love these 90's sport trucks fixed up.

I made that same dent in rear glass with my head too. Hurt like hell! Serious whiplash from it too.
Hope you are ok. The truck is looking good. Keep at it.

do yourself a favor and ditch the logs and buy a few more jackstands.

Nice project and good score on the price !

Those logs are the perfect height for removing the trans, and the price was right.

No substitute for safety. A pair of jackstands from your local Auto Parts store is a must.

All kidding aside, I always try to be safe in the garage. I have 4 complete sets of jack stands. There are two more jack stands under the front of the truck where the frame starts to curve in. I just put the blocks there to keep the wheels from hanging. For some reason the rubber brake hoses seem like they are at the end of their limit when the front wheels are hanging free.

I dig it! I love this body style truck. I have several of these. Good luck with your build!
