Can't wait to drive it. Only thing left is getting a different yoke on my 14b. Cleaning threads the thread cleaner snapped off in it

Looks Good. Very clean truck.

Thanks, really dirty right now. It usually is spotless but I haven't washed it because of the cold.

It's been repainted a few years ago. The interior is restored to original except for the addition of some speakers. I have owned it for 12 years, bought from the original owners nephew with 55,000 miles. I just crossed 100,000 miles last weekend. Sad day it was

That thing looks so good I....I.....I....I, I think I need to go change my pants!

Truck is looking VERY nice!!!

Is that a torch hanging from the ceiling in the 4th pic? I hate rolling the torch bottles around the shop looks like a good idea.

K5 looks really good! Those axles will only make it better. 100,000 miles is no big deal on one of these, too easy to fix these old baby up to keep on going.

 

[DK5]

Wow that looks real good. Which lift kit do you have again? TC 4"? Very nice and good choice on the rims too!

Yeah, we are specialized exhaust shop, so torch from the ceiling on a reel is the only way to go. If I had to roll it out everytime I had to use it I would go insane.


Thanks for the compliments guys. It is a 4" TC. I put in the greasable bushings in the front when I did the axle swap. Springs are only a few years old and the rear bushing was already frozen to the spring, and then the sleeve to the bushing was frozen.

The wheels are raceline rockcrusher's, 16x8 w/ 3.625 backspacing with 315/75 BFG mall terrains. Going from 33's to almost a 35 I was concerned with rubbing, but sitting on the ground it's not even close to rubbing. Gears are 4.10's which is why I went with a bigger tire, to offset the lower gears. I wanted 3:73, but this worked out good.

Man thats a nice truck. Those axles look great. Where did you get your gas tank skid? Is it OEM? I don't have one an I need one. Did you run a proportioning valve for the rear discs? I need to do my swap soon and have all the parts, but have been debating it, some say yes, others say no. I upgraded to the biger piston 3/4 ton calipers in front and will use half tons in the back so the running consensus says no.

Must be nice to be able to leave your tools out on your rack post. If I did that, they would be gone. I have 60 techs in my shop. Most of them have no respect for other peoples ****.

The gas tank shield looks like mine, that is factory OEM.

 

[Cornfield creations]

Yeup factory skid plate. No I didn't change the proportioning valve. everyone says run the factory setup first and then see if anything needs changed.

For our shop only a few people work here, my father and I are the main ones so there isn't a problem as for tools leaving or lost.

Your truck looks awsome hows the power with the 35s and 4.10 gears im working on the same swap on mine

Rig looks REALLY good....
If your replacing that yoke for a streeter, you should replace the crush sleeve though.

 

[scrappyk5]

Looks great , nice work. I would think about raising your rear brake lines. I stick or something could yank that your soft lines down.
