I would keep the Suburban but I just received orders to Maryland and I just don't have time to get it how I want it before the move. So here goes:
'85 K20 Silverado 6.2l that I swapped a 1992 Chevy NV4500 into, it runs great but the trans needs a rebuild. 3rd gear synchro is shot and I knew better than to trust a used transmission. It has the correct hydroboost clutch pedals with a hydraulic clutch. I used a hydraulic SM465 bell housing and re-drilled the trans to fit it. I have replaced the carpet with an ACC rubber floor which fit decent but I wasn't impressed with the forming on it. The rest of the interior isn't the greatest but at least it is now clean! Everything works minus the A/C and cruise but I have all of the parts for both. I pulled the headliner because the board was shot. Typical high desert body with no rust but very worn paint. There are a couple of dings and one hand sized dent on the drivers rear quarter. Here is a list of new/rebuilt parts I have put into it since March:
-CUCV M1009 engine with 64,000 miles. Engine was in the desert without an air cleaner for about 10 years so I tore it down, steam cleaned it and put in new bearings. It still had cross hatching in the cylinders so I hit them with a ball hone and re-used the rings.
-New-
-All gaskets
-Head bolts
-Harmonic balancer
-Timing chain
-Water pump
-Electric lift pump
-Injector return hoses
-Exhaust doughnuts
-Thermostat
-Oil pressure sender
-Water temp sender
-Glow plug temp switch
-Glow plugs
-Glow plug controller
-Clutch
-Pressure plate
-Throwout bearing
-Clutch master cylinder
-Clutch line
-Clutch slave cylinder
-Alternator belt
-Used injection pump from another member on CK5.com
-2015 Dodge 3500 jumpseat center console combo, not bolted in but its snug and fits super size drinks!
-Extras that come with it (you have to take these with)-
Diesel 4x4 TH400 with converter, flexplate, new chrome oil pan not installed, new filter and gasket not installed, 6 quarts of fluid, Haynes manual, (4) Ford 16.5" with 8 on 6.5 pattern aluminum wheels, and a bunch of extra engine parts.
It has an aluminum radiator, 1992 NV4500 with the deep first gear, NP208, 14SF rear 10 bolt front, CUCV manual hubs. I lost one of the front driveshaft u-joint bolts so the driveshaft is in the rear, and that is about all I can think of.
I registered it in California two weeks ago and the title is in hand. The ONLY thing I would trade for is an M35a2 or an M109a3 deuce that is road ready and able to drive from here to Maryland. That is very unlikely to exist so cash will have do instead! $3000 and if I rebuild the trans I will take it up to $4000ish.
