My 93 street/sled truck project with pics!

[FIRST GEN. JAKE]

Thought I'd start a build thread.
To start here's a pic of my truck cleaned up before heading to scheids last year

I p pumped back a winter or 2 ago(time gets away from me) 215 pump 4k gov cut dv plate I made.

Anyways I broke the input in the rag last november

So instead of screwing with the rag again I bought me a 94 parts truck

I've since tore the 94 done to frame. Putting the nv4500 in the 93.

Putting bigger input in and a 5th gear nut fix

Also got the 94 engine out and started tearing it down for a build

This is really the only engine component I've got so far

Here's the clutch I'm putting In valair dd sinterd iron steel insert flywheel.

Man I love tapatalk first time I posted pics ( reason why I accidentally put 3 up of my truck lol) so much easier than using the Internet at home.

Looks cool man, I love 1st gens, makes me wish I had never sold mine

 

[FIRST GEN. JAKE]

Just curious...what were you doing when the input shaft twisted on the Getrag?

[FIRST GEN. JAKE]

Well the single disk I had in it had been slipping for a long time and continued to get worse and worse where I couldn't even roll into the throttle without it slipping. I went on a trip to louisville with it and as I was coming up the hill to turn on the road i live on, the clutch slipped and I let out and it grabbed and twisted the shaft off. Bam. End of story lol

 

[FIRST GEN. JAKE]

Thought I'd throw up a pic of the truck when I bought it

Going to call a shop tomorrow about doing all my machine work for me. Get the ball rolling on my engine build

A 93 for a pulling truck, excellent choice my friend. All your friends with 2nd gens will be jealous of how much easier they are to work on. They ve got a lot of room around the engines.

 

[FIRST GEN. JAKE]

Yea I like be able to touch the back of the head. Not to mention enough room on each side of the engine to stow away 6 mexicans.

 

[nborga87]

haha, I love being able to brag about how easy it is to get to the back of my head.

 

[FIRST GEN. JAKE]

Yea it makes a big deference when ya go to work on them.

 

[McEwen Logging]

Nice truck. I will I would never have sold my 91.

haha, i was putting injectors in my truck at the local dyno day a few years back, and had a guy who owned a common rail say (hell if swapping my injectors out were that dam easy id change them every week). now imagin a half drunk guy saying that and that exacly how it was:hehe:.
