84 FJ60 Spring Over and rust free build (chevy power) (1 Viewer)

[88chevota]

So I am seriously considered selling this beast. It is so much fun to drive. It has full length headers and a great sounding muffler. Anyone have an idea how much I can get for it?

Some updated photos. Cleaned it up a bit.
Some interior pics. Need to redo the carpet.

Well I got some better tires and also found a gold mine of parts at the junkyard!
I found those little lens cleaner things that were missing.

Got a bumper for the rear (thanks to Justin at Redline!)
Also getting a front bumper from Chuck. I'll be slightly modifying the front bumper to fit a winch. Going to tuck it behind the bumper.

I also found all the stuff for the AC so I'll soon be hooking that up!

Got a little more done this week. Front and rear bumpers are on. Roof rack is on. Got the speedo working. Started installing AC stuff.

 

[88chevota]

Got some more work done. Carpet. A little more on the dash. Check engine light, blinker indicator, and 4wd indicator light.

Dolphin gauges. Got them off eBay. Made the panel out of mdf and painted it. Got the lights from pepboys. Gauges are electronic except speedo. It's mechanical. They come with everything to hook them up. Super simple. Gas gauge comes with sending unit too. The complete gauge set up was about $200. Pretty good price.

Well I made my own center console by piecing together a couple things. I really wanted some cup holders. So this is what I came up with. What do you all think?

Hey chevota,

What kind of radiator are you running with this engine? Looks to be a chevy radiator of some vintage.. more info/pics on that please.

Great job BTW!

 

[88chevota]

87/88 suburban radiator I believe.

I just came across your build and man your truck is clean. I really like the paint job. I might have to paint mine white when I get around to it. Could you post more pictures of your dash board? I thought about doing new gauges someday just for fun.

Thanks. What do you want pictures of? The whole dash? The back for wiring? It might be sold on Thursday so I may not have time to get to the back.

 

[jtjb60]

I'm just interested in a broad shot of the whole dash to see how it's laid out. I can figure out the wiring but was just curious how to fit everything.

 

[88chevota]

Here you go. Hopefully this is good.

 

[jtjb60]

Wow holy pictures!!! Thanks a ton. It looks great. Sad to know your selling it. I just sold my kaiser jeep M715 which I loved dearly. On to the next project. Haha. Thanks again!!

 

[88chevota]

Well is it SOLD. On to the next project.
