ok so I'm a vivid cherokeeforum user but finally got ahold of a comanche worth picking up. its a 1989 2wd 5spd short bed not sure on the specs yet, cause i have not seen the truck in person yet lol i had my mom pick it up and had some pictures took. I'm picking it up next weekend or so. it has a hp 30 already swapped in i have a 4x4 cheroke for all the rest of the parts. oh ya i got it for $750.00 bucks pretty sure it was a steal but here it is

Nice!! Keep us up to date on the build up. Great platform to begin the build upon.

Welcome to the forum! Got yourself a decent rig there.

I'd check the alignment before you drive it around too much. Whoever swapped the D30 on there didn't center the steering wheel, so there's a good chance they didn't adjust the toe-in either.

ya I'm getting rid of the front axle anyway i got a hp 30 non disc to go in i well be redoing the whole front end this is going to be my dd

Gearing all the same?

When you put in your non-CAD axle, make sure to use the brakes that are on it. The brakes from your CAD axle won't work.

Not to be ingnorant, but what is the difference in the brake scheme between a CAD/Non CAD axle? I just never noticed.

Love seeing these trucks come back to life!

I like the bucket seats and console.

i was wounderin about the break lines to. as far as the intrior the guy i bought it fom started switching everything over to a 97+ style interior and i plan on finishing it that way to.

There's no scheme difference per se, they're still both disc brakes and look the same, but there's several generations of brakes all with minor differences, and you can't swap back and forth, it'll cause problems.

I know the exact years, it's been posted before but I don't remember what they are.

i love the bucket seats and consol to the guy i bought it from started to swich the interior to 97+ i still have not seen my truck in person lol its still at my moms i need a car dolly lol

2.5 litre 4 cylinder with throttle body fuel injection, AX5 5 speed transmission, although my 1987 came with a 5 speed shift knob and a 4 speed transmission, Dana 35 rear axle ( most likely candidate ) Good luck!

you should have 4.10s in it if you have a 4cyl
