My 88 2.9L is a junked up pile, but I love it. I need to basically get the entire thing redone. If you have any ideas on what kinds of the listed components I need, tell me.

I Need:

New Suspension

New Exhaust System

New Catalytic Converter

New Differentials (both most likely)

That's about I've found out so far. I'm going to get my exhaust after I fix my steering next week. If you know of anyone that has a good system for a 1988 2.9L XLT, tell me asap.

 

Just going to go with stock stuff? or lift it? what kind of exhaust, loud?

v8 swap in the cards possibly?

 

Not really looking for anything stock, but I do have a pretty tight budget at the moment. And with my exhaust; anything is really good, but not too loud.

Right now I'm just tryin to shop around and see my options.

 

I think that since you want to replace the whole truck you should either get a newer truck or SAS it. That would cover suspension and new differentials. Then do the v8 swap.
