87 formula

Is it a roof swap to get t-tops or was the whole rear half joined to the front half?

Rear quarters appear to be originally blue, but rear bumper and gasoline cap door are originally red. That and a slightly damaged driver side tail light led me to believe a hit in a back at some point. But not major as what i could see behind the latch did not look damaged. Fast forward after getting the car and while removing the trim found the roof splice. The driver side door fit poorly around the top seals, but the hinge is about gone so it did not flag the roof in my mind when originally looking at it. I am guessing a t top roof swap, but not executed well at all.

I seem to have luck finding spliced vehicles. Last one was 88 gmc 1 ton, but the cab was spliced along the middle. Different paint driver side vs passenger. Even badging remained different, siera on one side and sillverado on the other side.

Please do let me know on the status of the drivetrain as I am quite interested.

That's scary but I'd have to change out the tailshaft housing anyway.

My buddy once bought a '94 Z28 from a local Chevy dealer, it had a salvage title. I got to looking at it, the rear half of the car had been spliced to the front. It was actually a clean car and everything fit well, quiet too. But a couple years later he went back to the same dealer to trade it in on a Silverado. They told him they wouldn't give him any money for it because they don't deal with salvage vehicles, lol.

<~~Getting excited.

 

[yevgenievich]

Been going through my photobucket pictures and found pictures of 91z28 from some time back.
Last thirdgen that i worked on(still working on the red ta, but it was bought before this z28) and it got saved. It looked worse, but did not have structual damage. It was cheap too, compared to this car.

It was good meeting you and can't wait to get it all in the GMC>

 

[yevgenievich]

Good meeting you too. I missed it, but do you nees tps and iac? They are still on the throttle body.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

TPS maybe, the IAC should be the same as my TBI and it has a new one that I can swap out with a good used one in my parts stash. I still need to find a TB, I bid on one on ebay last night and got sniped at the last second. Something will turn up.

Pm me your shipping address and let me know when you get the throttle body. If it does not come with one, I will ship this TPS to you.
