Haha.

I dig it. Do I see chains on the rear axle?

 

[Mr.Clean]

No chain is just attached to the frame.

For why?

Yah something like that

Thats well worth it dave in parts alone. Hell I just paid 400 for a clean k5 tub. I know I'm going to spend way more than a grand in other parts..

I figured the motor, trans, and t case was worth it. And the fact it's all together running driving is a bonus.

Yup, and you are halfway to a doubler... Just saying


If you hate how those round headlights look I may have a newer 88-91 core support to trade you.

Also nate there is a guy selling 38.5 x15x16.5 swamper tsl sx on greatlakes4x4.com for 800. I was eying them but then I bought that k5 tub.

And there just happens to be a 205 under a blazer craig bought a while back might have to swipe that when I get the chance.

Update your signature! You are missing one now

 

[swettysblazer]

For some reason, I am really digging that paint job.

 

[max 02]

Right on! Should be a fun truck.

 

[muddermilitia]

Messing with the springs will just open up a bunch more projects (believe me, I know!) sawzall the fenders, bigger tires, fix any issues it may have, and RUN IT!

After having a day to think on it im in agreement. I bought this truck to solely have fun and wheel while building the other truck. Not to have 2 projects. Need to keep it simple and cheap. My problem is im very impulsive, and things tend to snowball quickly out of control. Im gonna do my best to prevent that

If I can get the carb running smoothly this week it will be out wheelin this weekend.
