Score. Those tbi 454s aren’t bad they got torque for sure. Good for pulling I bet you get the same mileage unloaded as you do pulling Jack.

I can agree with this. My 99 K3500 454 gets 9mpg regardless of what I’m doing. Lol

Man, I’ve been watching that truck on marketplace for a while lol, just couldn’t find a reason that I really needed it lmao. But man, that really is a time capsule. To find a big block, one ton, crew cab nearly rust free and original in Michigan, and for that price, that’s a once in a lifetime deal right there bro! That beast easily has another 300k+ in it! Helluva score man!

I hope that everything works out for your dad with his insurers on the house and and all.

I have 2 90s k2500s. I love them. My 93 has a cammed 5.3 and my 90 has a centrifugal supercharged 350 fueled by holley sniper. Roller cam, trick flow heads. Nice score on that long-ass truck. Mine are both regular cab long beds.

@living in a desert I have a lot of stuff filmed but need to get some edited and uploaded. Working all the time. Worked for a few hours this morning. Getting ready to go out and work overnight. That supercharger is pretty badass. I'm looking at setting up an air-to-water intercooler. In my last video, I said I'd have a holley sniper tuning video and trans swap video coming up. I haven't thrown any footage together yet.

I remember back in the day flying around in my aunt's tbi 454 suburban with it full of friends, going to parties, hitting clubs in ybor city, doing donuts, jumping shit and burning out whenever possible !!t It was a beast !! Went through gas like crazy but worth it lol !!

I loved my 94 C1500 with the V6 4.3 vortec TBI with 206k miles on it... I had a single cab with an 8ft bed and I hauled wood with it all the time... and even with a 1/2 ton completely overloaded in weight with firewood I would floor it and feel the whole truck twist and i could see the speedometer still climb decent.. . I will always have a love for these trucks! It’s been a year or so and I still miss that truck!! Good to know there’s some gems still out there!!!

The only way I know of to mod those TBI engines is by replacing it with a carb/intake with an HEI. The TBI has to have a set amount of vacuum for the computer to be happy, anything outside of its parameters will run like shit. But a small cam and a 4 barrel will wake up the power a crazy amount! Honest don’t waste money trying to work with the TBI been there done that. JD

Yeah man, regular ignition and a q-jet would be the best/inexpensive way to go!

loved my 454TBI truck..... once i pulled the tbi off and popped a demon on top haha. the earlier ones had a spread bore intake with an adapter on top so it's an easy swap....... yours Is a later model which would require a different intake. headers are super cheap.... I had flowtech headers on mine..... 135 bucks a set. couldnt believe it

Had a 92 I bought new. Drive till 2012. 20 years and never a problem I couldnt fix after work. Great trucks! Congrats.

I would not have guessed that I was 8 years older than you Mr. J! Interior is immaculate. Will be fun watching where this goes. You Chevy guys and talking about "that dash" LOL. Grew up hearing that all through HS.

That’s a sweet tow rig...glad you scored it. Love the fact that it’s a crew cab long bed. And it looks to be in great shape.

Had a 97 single cab 454 dually, was a bad ass truck. Congrats on the new tow pig dude!

These generation of trucks have GROWN on me! Kickass truck there! I've heard the earlier 454's, prior to 1973, are even better for performance.

Winner! Nice truck. And it has the bed topper. No need for 4 wheel drive like you said. That 454 would be sweet in the gbody with carb, cam and spring swap👍🏿

I've owned so many tbi trucks they don't make a shit load of power but they are always dead nuts reliable. And when they do act up they are so simple to diagnose and fix. I love tbi trucks.

Great trucks. My dad passed away and I'm making the journey to WV to get his truck. 1998 chevy silverado k3500 reg cab 7.4 5 spd 4x4. Hasn't been on the road in 7 yrs and I'm driving it 400 miles back to Tennessee

💗💗 I love 4 door longbeds!! And 454!💗 I love those 6.2 6.5 Detroit diesel engines Chevy had!

Rv cam, long tube headers, and a decent exhaust. Would be all it'd ever need.

If your gonna go that far the TBI has to go too and an hei distributor to go with a idk what 850 cfm carb anyway right ? I mean shit what your gonna run the TBI really w the cam and all the computer. Will be lost and never found on that old bastard

Really nice find man. I recently bought a regular cab 89’ 3500 454 for $500 bucks. It has some rust but only on a fender and a few patches on the bed

I had a 92 k2500 ext cab. Loved that truck, decent power, very reliable.

I got a c2500 from a friend's dad. Love it. Very reliable. You can make a 454 a good daily.

Love it! Just picked up a JB Tee! Tell Pops good luck with getting things worked out!

I had to check this. I just got a 96 2 door 454, 82k miles for 2500! Love this thing.

I always wanted a crew cab obs and convert it to a 1/2 ton short bed truck. I know they made a limited amount of short beds, but it’s just something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s definitely a nice truck. Got me all envious!! There used to be a company called tbi.com that specialized in those tbi trucks.

@michaelchastain9727

It’s called harristuning.com now and he specializes in those tbi trucks.

Its rated 230hp 385tq from the factory (net rating) i believe. Gross hp and torque is about 330hp/440tq. They definitely have small cams in them. I found the specs when looking for a new cam for mine. It 193/202 duration at .050 and .419 lift. I put an air fuel ratio gauge in mine, it runs at 14.7 mostly unless its cold or if i accelerate from low rpms then it will go to roughly 13.0:1. The power difference is quite noticeable between the two. It would be interesting to see what yours runs at. Any way cool truck. Lookin forward to seeing what you do with it.

Awesome truck there buddy great choice as always

I had a tbi 350 in my old repo truck, slow as it was it would still drag a full sized Cadillac in park for a mile 😆👌

I have a 1995 2500 so it still the tbi but the 96 up interior and it had the 454 with 187xxx miles on and it tows anything I put on a trailer behind it with no problem love the 454 tbi I haven’t had a vortec big block yet

Love the truck! Best generation truck chevy made !!

For a tbi throw a spacer in and a good exhaust with a vortec style fuel pump and an adjustable regulator. Best you can do without tuning except for the small summit cam I forget the part number.

I got a 93 k3500 with the 454 tbi and I love it. Never getting rid of it.

That's not a truck, that is a train. Love it!

Thats one hell of a find for Kalamazoo!.. Most trucks rust in the summer here! 😂😂

Awesome I Haven't seen one of these in a while true work horse. If you're going to spend any money trying to make power might as well do a 6.0 swap.

Thats amazing for a Michigan truck. Its super clean even with the little battle wounds

Damn nice. My 94 ext isn't that clean. I'd love that. Beautiful big girl.

Awesome man such a great buy!

Sniper efi is the way to go! I’ve been on it for a couple months on my 1990 c1500 and it’s a game changer!

@Snidertron3000 You should borrow that Pops. J/K Usually when that paint peels it’s rusted on the backside. I would check the doors on the inside if they aren’t rusted. Melt some Vaseline and mix with mineral oil. There is a KZreadr from MI. Sweet Project cars. He does it to his doors and he said they never rust. I use spray lithium up inside the rockers in the wheelwells etc. Take out the tailights and spray lubr in from the back to the wheel well. Sometime there is a rubber plug behind the wheel well you can pull.

First the road master now this!? What a pair of gems! 💎

Like#35 Great buy. I'm anxious to see what's in store for that rig!

i paid $1000 for a crew cab 1 ton dually 4wd and a good ole big block, it has 199,xxx miles on it. i put a stage 2 hyper tech chip in it with a air raid throttle body spacer in it and it knocked 13 seconds off of my 0-60 and it gives me better fuel milage. it worked well for me u should at least try out the airraid system. im currently sand blasting the frame to repaint and i have put a fifth wheel in and soon i will be doing the rockers. its a good truck.

Ya I was thinking cam and carb but if the tbi will work cam might be all you need

I have a goal of getting all of my favorite 93 Chevys cause that’s my year too 😎

Score for sure! Nice find.

Dig it! Can’t wait to see what happens to it.

Try looking into the MegaSquirt systems. The gm tbi was a pretty popular swap at one point. It may be worth it in the long run.

One of my holy grill OBS trucks would be a 96 to 98 extended cab short bed 2500 light duty with the 6 lug pattern with the vortec 454 2WD or a crew cab version but they only come in 8 lug My dad had one knew back in the day and it was faster than his 454 ss

Sick bro, that’s a sweet ride

I just bought a 94 k1500 regular cab shortbed recently... i wont be going offroad n shit either, but i wanted 4wd for winter time. as soon as i bought it i ordered parts to completely rebuild the front end...

Maybe try to get a megasquirt? They claim they can work with tbi setups. Im interested to see how it works honestly. Anyways, love these obs chevys with a passion. Much love brother

Hell yeah truck looks nice no rust unheard of great deal

Dude nice truck, dude!

Nice truck, great price too.

Dream truck for sure. Sweet buy man.

I've pulled a couple 14k lb loads with my 454 suburban, the tbi454 works well, I was surprised.

My dad owns an apache of around the same year, with a rust patch on the top of the roof and cracked trim, but it has the big motor.

In ky you don't see many 1 ton single wheel obs chevy trucks usually all 6.5 diesel dually

Love Cheyenne’s. I own a 1990 C1500 Cheyenne w/ the 350 and SM465 gearbox. Love it.

I have a 94 chevy c2500 with the 5.7 tbi in it with 318k with 0 rust all highway miles and I pull a dirt car every Friday plus it daily driven these trucks don't die lol but I went through 3 4l60e's

Dude nice truck.

Easy torque with that engine. Just do exhaust and intake and a camshaft with drive train parts. You will have like 450 ft lbs.

My gpa has had a 2006 hemi ram since it was brand new & he’s been hauling cars probably every other weekend anywhere from other trucks to old heavy ass cadillacs & it’s been fine for him

Nice score man, those are hard to find. What ever happened with the dually though?

That’s a damn good deal, fuckers down here want the brand new price of that year with the same shit as it left the lot with over 250k miles and with more corrosion than lady liberty.

look at that absolute UNIT

A 7.3 Powerstroke with 1023 diesel tunes it will be a good tow rig and daily

Cam, heads, intake, and send it lol.. maybe a blower turbo. Ill never sell my obs 454 crew cab 99 model short bed. You can get a bad ass cam for cheap because its flat tapper.
