84'K5 TBI'd on Tons

[jt512]

POORBOYK5 I'm not sure who Wade is. This k5 is originally from AZ and the guy I bought it from (Berry) and a friend of his who was the previous owner had built the whole truck together. It would be kinda nice to find someone on here that maybe knows more about the truck.

Ill have to find ktmfrontmount and ask him

Wade = KTMoutfront He is the guy with the Tan linked, coil over'd K5 that is generally air bourne in all pictures

Put a stock/ newer color matched grill on

Changed out dash pad and the 3 dash speakers with kickers. Put some door speakers in also since there were already holes cut. Threw in an old jvc CD player I had laying around

 

[HINZ28]

Yes the blue LEDs will be changed out. They are wired as dome light so some white LEDs will be installed

That isn't a newer grille. It's an '83-'84 dual headlight grille.

Either way, it's a definite upgrade!

So they made both dual headlamp and my single headlamp in 84? Or dual headlamp was just an option through out the years? Never did understand that. My 83 had dual headlamp

 

[82355]

Starting in 1981, dual headlights was an option. I don't think you could get a Silverado with the single headlight. It was that way up till 1991.

I even grabbed the matching benzels thinking they would work.....

How long are you going to run the Colorado plates?

They will with a dual headlight radiator support. I have piles of them. I can give you one, complete with headlight harness if you want.

[HINZ28]

Haha yeah they need to come off. Ill probably license it this week

If I get board enough I'd do that. I do like the dual headlights better.

 

[82355]

It's a two hour job, tops.

Martin

 

[HINZ28]

Yeah I realize that. I've done em before. You have one already out and complete for me?

 

[82355]

Yeah. I keep them when I cut up pickups.

The new grille looks 100x better.

 

[Krusty78]

Do you have any more pics of the roll bars from the underside?

 

[HINZ28]

I don't. It is plated with 5x5 1/2 steel welded to floor pan right over the body mounts. I'd like to continue it to the frame someday

 

[schuttothrill]

Pretty sweet!
