Indeed... this better be a build thread. :D

I'm so happy to see the Brotherhood in action, and to see a good K5 go to a good home instead of being scrapped. :bow:
 
He's building up that fugly 6+6 he bought a while back. He's mentioned it before, he calls it the "six pack".

Looks like a good start.
 
Definitely good to see it go to a good home, and Dean is a great guy that's helped me in the past...

Chris, I'm building a super short box Crew Cab and the drivetrain from tRusty is going into that.

The 6.2, NV4500, 203/205, D60, 14 bolt is all being re-used. Dean is gonna build some caster frames to bolt under tRusty and then I get my 60/14 back plus the X-over stuff.

The TBI 350 and 14 bolt from the Crew Cab is going to Dean. That leaves him still needing a front diff, tranny and T-case...

BTW Dean, I'm understanding why you have those tiny little roller tires now. Damn that is a low garage!!!

That there is what it's all about!! :bow:

Careful letting him near the fenders of Trusty, there are some pretty sharp edges on the inside of the wheel wells still. :crazy:
