97 sas'sy Sierra/ 80 Cheep 10: tales of a phat block
- Thread starter Bowtie85
- Start date
Well guess I haven't updated this in a while. Mostly have been just driving cheep10. Had some wiring short causing no taillights. Tossed in a CD player, sure is nice to have tunes again.
Haven't really been wheeling the k20. Couple quick test bags though
Had the fleet out for a pic:

Wheelin with my pit crew:
Nice shot of them all lined up 
Well gent's, the time has come. After going back and forth all year I've decided that next year I'll be stripping my k20. To what extent Im not sure quite yet. The frame is tweaked, rotted, trans is popping out of third among a bunch of things.
Most likely motor and diffs are gonna be swiped from it for sure.
My 97 k1500 is in need of a front end. I've gathered that I don't wheel enough or as hard as I used to. Would rather have a more reliable, street worthy truck.
Plan: keep it low, 4-5" lift. One tons, np241 swap, run steelies/hub caps on Turdy fives.
I've had the 97 for 6 years now, used to tow the ex's horse trailer mainly. It's mostly been used to tow and as of last couple years minor wheeling. It's got just over 180 miles on it now.
It's got all bolt ons, wester's tune, 14 bolt sf out back with a Detroit and 3.73 gears and rolling on 33x12.5's on rally's.

I too like the plan!
On the 83? Solid. Did rockers, inners,cab corners when I first got it many moons ago.
Boats and Hoes
Dibs on any parts you can't sell!
hahaha
hahaha
Only thing worth anything is the motor/tires.!
Although I think I'll keep the factory tach...
Well, waxed up big orange, topped up the antifreeze, tarped it up for winter.
Slapped my old car cover I had for the 83 on it....not just a plain ol tarp!!
Gonna miss driving that old bomb

What's the reasoning for the hibernation?
Salt mostly, lack of inside storage space as well.
It got the luxury last winter of being inside, and I'd like to actually park in the garage this year.
