Ice cold air, cruise control and a working factory radio! I have missed those in my truck for the last 21 years. The truck is off the road now and will fall into the rebuild schedule. Computer controlled turbo Diesel, computer controlled 4L80 transmission, new drivelines- length adjustments needed, the transmission is longer by 2.5”. Body restoration, rust removal, rocker panels and finish custom bed. All new cooling and air conditioning systems, the 84 was R12 and the 94 donor is R134. All the components are larger including the radiator. Basically the truck will become a 1994 with an 84 body and frame. Probably a two year project, no rush I own both trucks and have lots of spare GM parts from 21 years ago still.

It's not hoarding if you're going to use them some time in the future, derf. Come on! LOL

You probably have enough to almost build another SC, right?

😀❤️, Unfortunately I have parts for Saturn L both 200 and 300s. Parts for both generations of Expeditions and Navigators, 03-04 and 05-06. We are driving three of these now. And a couple GM Diesel trucks and the 68 that is the middle of restoration.

But not all of us have the shop or storage buildings that you do, Andy.
