Did you buy any of the stuff from the V3500? I would get out there to buy some of the stuff, but my truck is broke down. I have been working a lot of overtime, and have not had any free time to work on my V3500.

I read your post wrong. I thought you went to a junk yard, and found a junked 1991 V3500. You meant that you went to a scrap yard to weigh your V3500. I weighed my V3500 at a scrap yard with full tanks and me in it, and it came to close to 7000 pounds. My truck has some very heavy 36" bias ply tires on it, and other heavy duty aftermarket parts from places like ORD, DIY4X4, and Ruffstuff that make it heavier than it was stock.
You gonna keep up with Eddie?
Was talking about $$ but yeah lol
Those look like they came from another junk dually like the one I sold to you and Eddie.
Maybe, but we all have our specialties. Your art and graphics skills are 100% to my zero. And you always did kick my ass on a dirt bike. Haha!
Haha, I’m doing my best!
I am just glad that truck is going to live on in some kind of bad a$$ GM truck of some sort. That truck was a Las Vegas native truck that lived it's whole life in Vegas. It was bought at Fairway Chevrolet in 1985. It belonged to a guy that owned the biggest hardware store in Las Vegas, until Home Depot, Lowe's, and health problems caused the store to go out of business after 40-years. When I would drive that truck around, I had a couple of people that had worked for the PO of that truck, come up to me and say they remember that truck when he bought it new.
That truck is living on in over half a dozen at least.

I know it's part of a couple of tow trucks in Lincoln County and 1 dually from CA. Then parts on my 91 and the 77 K5 plus Ed's K5. The cab stayed local too. It revived a truck that had been rolled. The bed and tailgate went to UT for restoration projects

If I'm wanting to put disc brakes on the 70 what would be needed? I'm running H1 wheels, so I want to keep it close to the dually width correct? I also read that 14 bolt stuff works, is that so? I recall there is a member that runs a 70 on his K5, can someone tag him so I can read his thread?
