Re: seat belts and other parts Email sent.

OK, so after cleaning up the T4R I got last weekend, I was greeted with an unpleasant surprise: an old oil spill under the folded-down back seat! As such, the back rest part is probably too grimy to clean up since I have no idea how long it's been soaking in this crap. Does anyone have a spare...

Seat Belts? Do you by chance have the seatbelts from the rear, and maybe the rear seat cover too? I just found out today that mine has been soaking up oil for years.

The '89 was not even worth $1k. Hack job were the only words that came to mind. They wasted over two hours of my time just getting the thing started, the body had some holes in the back and let in exhaust fumes from the single cherry bomb exhaust, the tires were weather-cracked and horribly...

Some pics, not the best Here are a few shots of the truck: What do y'all think? Doable?

Here's the deal: 1989 T4R, 3.0L, manual, lifted, with what looks like 33 or 32s. They have it listed at $1995, looks like the paint is a little faded. Tires may need replacing for the winter. No idea on the maintenance history, but the dealer knows the p/o. Guy says he's open to "reasonable"...

Well, I do own a SHO, so car work is nothing new to me. But to be honest, the smell coming off this T4R was unbearable when it got warmed up. Smelled like plastic wrapped wet grass burning under my nose. I've found another one with a rebuilt 22RE out in Iowa. It has about 6k on the rebuild, 20k...

Well, sixteen views and nobody seems to want to offer the slightest opinion. Thanks for all your help, but I've decided to let the opportunity pass to another brave soul with $500. Nice to see this community is so welcoming!

Found an '87 for sale with an old 20R swapped in place of the 22RE. The old long block is there but I can't understand what the lady is telling me about why it was "blown." They want $500 for it, but they'll also throw in a beat up old S-10 Blazer for free. Should I risk it? Supposing the chain...

Condition of T4R So I took this T4R for a spin yesterday, and found out some more about its history. The 22RE was apparently blown, though I could not get a definite answer as to why. I assume because of the high miles (189k), the chain guides failed, but it could be something else. The po...

To resurrect this thread, I have what looks to be a 2 hour and 15 minute discrepancy between real central time and the forum's central time. What gives?

Was your sub box bolted down? Makes it a lot harder to steal them, and it keeps your head from being bashed off in a rear-end collision. Most insurance companies require that a stereo system be bolted or fastened to the car in order to take out a policy on the equipment. Look on the bright...

I was aware there was about a 20 hp difference between the two. Depending on the age of this engine and the quality of the work put in to the swap, should it be an easy re-swap back to the 22RE?
