Hi all,
I picked up this '91 in Denver about 1.5 months ago. It's got a 5.7 and a 4l60e from a 99 Suburban transplanted into it. The guy I bought it from purchased it from whomever did the swap in 2010. He kept great records of what he had done maintenance-wise, but didn't really know much about the truck. He didn't really strike me as a car guy. Anyhoo, it seemed to be a pretty solid swap, aside from a little problem which led to a bigger problem. The trans cooler lines were spliced together in a rather cheesy fashion, which caused them to pop off when my wife was driving and I was out of town. One tow, and a pretty cheap repair, and I thought we were back in business. It then happened a week later to me (the guy who fixed it didn't check for other suspect splices). I fixed it with a couple of compression fittings, but it turns out that the 3-4 clutch is toast now. A rebuilt 4l60e is easy enough to find, but I'm thinking of going with a 5 speed from a GM. My question (I've tried searching but seem to not be looking for the right term) is where would be a good place to find a pedal box for the 80? Also, on the off chance that anyone recognizes this Cruiser and can point me towards more info on it, that would be incredible. The guy I bought it from referenced this forum a couple of times.
Thanks,
Ross
