I have been working on this beast for 4 years. After getting it built the way it needed to be, I decided it was really too nice to wheel so I am selling it to build a beater '89K5 with Rockwells. The '89 will actually be able to wheel with no worries about body damage...
The project started as a very clean and stock 1990 K5. And you can tell by the list of mods listed below- NO EXPENSE was spared in the build up. This is a VERY dependable vehicle and it can wheel a little as well. This thing is in perfect mechanical condition. And the body is in very good condition as well. There are no oil or fluid leaks and it has been garaged most of its life. I have over $30K invested in this. My asking price is $15K.
Engine: 5.7 Liter TBI with factory 28,000 GVW B&M engine oil cooler, 4 core “heat buster” radiator, CAT aluminum water pump, Hellroaring dual battery conversion – K&N filter, Single 3” Pipe with Hi-Flow Cat and 40 series FlowMaster muffler. 250 amp Power Master alternator.
Transmission: 700 R4 with 28,000 GVW B&M tranny cooler that is hard plumbed in with 5/16” metal brake line, no rubber hoses to blow out...B&M transmission fluid temperature gauge with one sending unit in the return line and one in the tranny pressure port.
Suspension – Front: 5.5” BDS springs, ORD extended HD shackles, and the taller Dana 60 spring perches make up about 7” of lift. Modified Ford upper shock towers for use with Rancho 9012s shocks for extended wheel travel. ORD greasable polyurethane bushings. 26” stainless steel braided brake lines, extended polyurethane bump stops.
Suspension – Rear: Approximately 9” lift consisting of ORD 4” rear shackle flip, custom axle relocation block used to move axle rearward 1.5” and provide 1” of lift, and 4” BDS springs. Custom DP-Built upper and lower shock mounts for use with Rancho 9012s shocks. Extended stainless steel braided brake line.
Steering: ORD crossover steering setup with RockStomper Rock Rod (1.5” external diameter tie-rod with a 5/16” wall thickness) and RockStomper 4” drop drag link. ORD bolt-in steering brace.
