84 K20 "Ethel" Not an Sbc/NV4500/241C

Semi restoration of a 1984 K20 pickup.
5.3 LS, nv4500, np241c.
For sure. My 81 Jimmy had the 6.2 diesel, SM 465, 4.56's and 39.5's. It would spin the tires on wet pavement without trying too hard.
Low range with the hubs unlocked works great for burning big tires.
I could get it sideways easily enough, clutch out, 3 or 4 mph and blip the throttle on wet pavement. No problem. An actual burnout on dry pavement? Never tried, but I think some water, bleach or oil would do wonders.
A few summers ago I was turning onto one of the main straits and a malfunctioning sprinkler watered the intersection pretty good. When there was a break in traffic I hammered down and broke my 42s loose and got a little more sideways than I expected! Thought it was pretty awesome until I hit dry pavement! I have plenty of body roll without screwing around! I peed a little...

Sure, in California they have commercial vehicle classes, kind of loosely based on gvw, if your pickup, in ca they are all commercial, is below 5999lbs you pay an $87 weight fee, if you exceed that you pay $186 fee, it goes up from there but I've never owned anything heavier than 5999 so I'm not sure where it ends, there is a chart for this. But the issue for me was the original fees were 301$ Without sales tax, after it was all said and done it was reduced 80$ because I changed the weight with a certificate. Now it cost me 251$ because of the sales tax. Still saved 50$ from being consumed by the DMV. I think it's a win..
Here's the chart, I was off a few bucks,
Odd.

Not either.. Just stupid.
Probably why I pay more for my diesel.
