As an old duffer, I can't believe you did this in your driveway, in the winter. I've got a few 2nd gens, but would love to add a nice gen 1 to the garage. I wouldn't hesitate to do this job, but I think I would make room in the shop first ! Great vid.

Nice work that's a big job. Did you end up putting those "core support" looking brackets in above the front spring hangers. From the factory they only had one rivet in them, good to use both holes and two bolts instead. Some of those brackets had a tendency to loosen up the rivets over time. You going to put factory w350 blocks in the rear?

Yes I did, I'll show them in the next vid! We made a set of gusseted brackets since I didn't save the factory ones and these are BEEFY! And yes definitely going to do blocks!

Nice job. I just did the exact same swap. Luckily I had 2 doner trucks to pull parts from. It is my sons truck and it was a 91.5 2wd dually turned into a 4 Ed single wheel. I’m actually pretty impressed that you didn’t pull the engine to swap the cross member and to to all the hole locations.the crossmember must have been a bitch to get back in with the engine in place. Nice job. His truck is coming a long really well
@wwkii12 жыл бұрын
Oh yea plus his truck since it was a 2wd automatic I had to cut the floor pan out and weld in a 4wd manual cab floor pan. That’s a real intimidating undertaking cutting a perfectly good floor out. Lol. This truck will end up with a factory getrag.

The nice thing about the bolted in crossmember now is if you ever need to do the oil pan gasket. You should be able to get it much easier. Also I used all grade 8 bolts and hood pinch nuts for everything. I’m still going to double check them pretty often to make sur the don’t work loose. I sure don’t want my kids truck with loose front end. By the way that is one clean 1st gen you have. I actually have 3 of them but one is a 86 gasser. I’m working on getting a 12 valve to put in it. They are all 4wds and all flatbeds.
