DTra1n's 1984 GMC El Caballero

[DTra1n]

Greetings,

My name is Daniel. I'm 28 years old and a resident of Texas. I'm making this build thread for my Dad. This thing is in really good shape, but hopefully I'll find some things to add. I've already done a lot of reading on some other build threads. Hopefully someday this thing will be mine!

1984 GMC Caballero
350 CID Small Block
4 Speed on the floor

Welcome to the site! The Cabellero sounds like a cool ride. Any chance of getting some photos?

One of the first modifications I'd like to make would be a cowl induction hood.

Sorry about that. The site was loading slowly. The GMC looks amazing!

Thanks! I actually haven't had a chance to see it in person yet. My dad lives in a different state. But I can't wait to be able to spend time when I'm home with my Dad looking over this beast. I am new to the whole GBody world, but I am pleasantly surprised by the ingenuity on here.

I currently own a Jeep Wrangler JK: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f314/dtra1ns-2014-jk-build-thread-617962.html

Quick comment - if you see things that appear non-stock/non-oem from the photos above, please let me know. I'm looking to confirm all add-ons, since we are not the original owners. I understand many things are swappable between the gbodys... for example - the seats - can anyone confirm if the seats are oem? I really like them. Let me know what else you may see...

Note: I am aware that engine and transmission are not original. I believe the engine is a Vortec 350.

Appreciated,
Daniel
