92 Chevy Short Bed (My New Ride)

[BulletsRain]

I want to get my windshield and driver side and passenger side fronts done. But I think I'll leave it at that.

It's a pretty good looking truck though, for being as low to the ground as it is..

I'm getting 5% on the rear 35% on the passenger and drivers and a 5% sun vizor on the front.

As for low I have about 4 inchs of ground clearence from the a-arms to the ground. lol

Well a small update, after $50 that i used to buy three cans of R-134a a/c refill cans and a R-134a hose with a guage. I got my a/c recharged and blowing out cold air again. So now I won't die in this hot weather. Next thing to do is to get my windows tinted 5% on the rear window 35% on the drivers & passengers side, then a 5% sun viser on the front.

Another update my A/C Compressor broke again, so this time I'm buying a brand new one for $155 so its guarenteed to work unlike the $75 salvage yard one. Then I have to buy $30 worth of freon again.

Eliminating your fan clutch is going to kill your horse power and fuel economy. You will notice the horse power loss.

Haven't had any problems with it yet, My truck seems to be running better now that I got rid of that crappy stock fan, also the clutch was almost completely worn out, so I'm glad its gone. Also this fan is made of very light weight aluminum and is like half the weight of the stock one.

Also got the new cap & rotor, its an ACCEL since MSD doesn't sell one like that for my truck.

I am almost certain if you called MSD on your cap and rotor you could get it.

Looks like a bunch of nice goodies. Although the rims on your Truck seem too chrome and too small. 17" right? I'd try and look for a set that are 18"-19", maybe 20".

Well A little to late for that. lol

Yea, they are 17" but they don't sell any size bigger than 17" for that style of rims.

Even if they do make a bigger size, I can't afford a new set of rims since I traded my 22's for these. Also I really like these rims and how they look.

Well got everything put on today except the brakes, will do that on a day when its not 90 plus degrees out. Also the $155 A/C pump which was brand new is crap, its broke and rattling and squeaking just like the old. So thats two pumps in a row like that. Luckly this one is under warrenty so we ordered a new one and It should be here monday.

[Bananabrain]

Here is a short vid of me starting it and a walk around.

Yea I know.lol

When I need to get new tires all the way around, I am going to get tires the height Of the rear on the front and keep the same height on the back. Then maybe try and get some wider tires on the rear.

[Bananabrain]

Well small little update. I ordered a drivers side cab corner & a front valance.

Some links:

Well everybody I have some bad news, I was on my way home from work yesterday & a drunk dude ran the red light & T-boned me & totaled out my truck.......wait a miute that didn't really happen that was a dream I had. :duh: lol

But seriously though I went to my grandpa's to get my exhuast leak fixed & we pulled it up on the ramps & looked at it and I had two holes the size of chicken eggs in my pipes, also all of my welds on the pipes were rusted & had holes in them. So that means its time for a new exhaust system. Whoopie. lol

No pics of the damage sadly.

But I plan on running 3in true dual exhaust from the manifolds (Don't have headers yet) too some Thrush Mufflers and then out my exhaust tips that are on it now. Should sound real nice once its done.

[Bananabrain]

Well had a delivery today:

[Bananabrain]

Just a few pics of it after the valance was added & the truck was washed (Yesterday):







Space I have between the ground & the valance.

Just a pic to show how low the truck actually is underneath.
