So here it goes. I picked up a 92 B2600i a few weeks ago. Guy I got it from did the most of the work bagging it. He got it from an older guy so the truck was very well maintained and only has 117k original miles. Im starting to get into it and going to finish it up over the next 9 months or so the have it ready for 2015 show season. Truck is 4 linked with 2600 bags on all for corners. Has 1 444c compressor and 5 gallon tank. Vale set up is a Little Larry's Fourplay which personally I love because of the simplicity and ease of use. Right now it is running 3/8 line. Factory A/C and Heat still work like new and motor still runs like new with zero issues.

Since I picked it up:
Resprayed Grill.
Resprayed Bumper.
Tinted lenses.
New Headlights.
Mounted Switchbox.
Started bodywork.
Overall cleaned it up a bit.
Rewired compressor.

Future Plans:
1/2" line upgrade.
Finish interior to 100% Factory condition (excluding stereo set up).
Finish what is left for body work.
Raised wood bed floor with trap doors to access air ride.
Paint (not sure on scheme yet but will be simple but different.
WHEELS! this is one of the biggest issues I have at the moment and it is killing me but patience is key.
Custom glassed center console (maybe, not sure yet).
Remove inner fenders and weld in tubs.
Possible 4x4 fenders and bed (maybe, not many run with the 2wd set up).
New glass! Needs new front windows (not covered when welding and has some slag burns) 3 rear windows are fine.
Shocks, don't know if he didn't have time but they are a must on any bagged truck I own or build and make a world of difference in ride quality.

I am moving to a new house that has an oversized detached garage with nice level concrete floor. Guy who but it was a long time mechanic and ran his own small shop out of it. Big score in my book and stoked to have a big enough garage to comfortably work on my truck. I am open to suggestions so feel free.

Here are some pics. Not much right now but its a great start and a rust free overall great quality truck. The first pic is how it was when I got it. The rest are the progress that has been made so far in the past 2 weeks.

Nice looking truck what size are the wheels and tires? And does it rub the inner fenders? Love the shifter got a tall one in my yota

I just put a new set of tires on it. They are 185/75r14 and these ones hit the inner fender. The ones I had were 175/60r15 and they did not hit. The shifter was on it when I got it.

Man i miss this truck

I have a wife and 2 kids that love riding and going to shows. If anything I may build a custom box in the bed and port it through the cab but I work building custom systems and I get bored with them.

Ah, i gotcha there. Im in the same boat right now. I can't setup a system till we get a second vehicle. But if ya work n thatarea thats understandable. I love audio work, just hate panel pulling lol.

Panel pulling is the easiest part, lol. I understand though. Most people are scared to break the but they are stronger than most think. Personally I'd rather do alarms and remote starters all day but this is the wrong season for that.
