Overview
So the truck I have had for 19 years, and its been an excellent truck, but I have 3 kids now and can't haul the family in the truck. So I am swapping my drivetrain from the truck 489 BBC, NP205, D60, 14BFF into this K5. I will put a chrome-moly cage in it, reuse my front radius arm coil-over suspension, and link the rear with coil-overs too. I will upgrade the TH400 I build 14 years ago to an 4L80E and upgrade the 489 EFI to multi-port Holley Terminator X EFI along with trans control and add Volcano Nitrous to the big block.

'83 K10 SB "L1TSBFIBBC" build (...Dirt Drags)
folkenheath submitted a new Build: '83 K10SB L1TSBFIBBC build So I have been asked by more than a few people why I don't have a build thread for my truck. I have been working on this thing for 8 years now, and every year I do something else to it, but I always try to keep it in operating...
