Deuling's 1985 K5. "Operation Revamp"

EDIT: Since this thread has way to much talking in it, just go here for the summary



http://www.silverlakeforum.com/index.php/topic,20956.0.html


Picked it up at fall last year or so, just kinda been slowly fixin stuff here and their, and dropped a 408 sbc in it, new shocks, nothing too fancy.

Plans:

-Build the tranny
-Rip apart interior, bedline everything
-Paint eventually
-Eventually a bigger rear axle
-Either 4" and 33's or 6" and 35s

At the moment im super broke, so little stuff going on for now.


But befor I start I want everyone to see the inspiration for it..

My dads 90 Jimmy back in the day when I was a little kid, I LOVED THAT THING!!!






And the first time I ever drove on the dunes in the 91 Burb



My dad had an 86 jimmy with the 6.2, then the black jimmy, then bought a 91 burb with the black and silver color scheme. So Ive always had one of these trucks around me, and when he sold the burb, I needed one back.... lol.
