Fullsize Pre-runner Thread!

Yeah original balzer a 5.3 vortec would be sweeeet but you're talking quite a bit of $$$ compared to even a built small block 350...


gm500hpwrat: I'm sure it'll turn into a tube creation as time goes on but I'd like to get a base built and start getting time on the sand... what excites me the first 10-15 times out in the dunes definately won't excite me my 100th time out... if that makes sense... so it'll evolve (lighten, more hp, evolving suspension, etc.) as time goes on...
 
Just some FSC pre-runner pics for the evening...

with all the money in those trucks I would think they could afford better looking girls..


Those kinda tramps are the norm at the offroad shows these days. I would still hit though. Even tramps need lovein too. :D and those chevy's are bad ass!

Just out of stupid curiosity which rear end are they using in those late model GM's?
 
iono but it doesn't look too big... maybe they are just building up the 10b's eeeek! But I doubt it w/ the quality of work I've seen come out of their shop...

Yeah but that's a total race truck. Just about nothing in common with a production vehicle.
 
I don't know how to embed a video but I found this from the Baja 500:

First off welcome to the boards! (at least according to your post count)...

Secondly if you want to see some good robby gordon stuff search for him at Glamis... GOOD STUFF...


Finally to embed you take that section of the YouTube link that says "=xxxxxxx" and you put it between the tags [youtube ] insert that stuff here [/youtube]
(I left a space between the e and the ] in that first tag b/c otherwise it'll try to post something and you couldn't see the example on how to do it... when you go to do it make it solid w/o any spaces...)

I love his Glamis jumps. That's where the dirt bikes and the big rails go to have fun. It's insane seeing a truck that big and heavy do that.

Thanks for the tips on embedding the video.

I've been a lurker for a long time and this thread finally inspired me to post.
 
Well nice to have ya' around :)

I've PM'd the Admin of the site about getting a pre-runner sub-forum but he hasn't responded... I'm going to PM him again and see whats up...
 
That would be cool. I'm looking for a K5 to build into an all around vehicle that will rock crawl as well as have some fun in the dunes.

I had an S10 that I did the whole prerunner/longtravel thing but it was such a terrible platform to start from that I ended up throwing way too much money away for pretty lousy performance.

Hopefully I'll have better luck this time.
 
avery, you looking for a pre-runner platform? I know a guy with a rust free 2wd k-5 that he'd get rid of cheap :deal:
 
Several years ago I bought a '73 2wd blazer with the intention of building a budget prerunner with the crappy fabtech long travel lift and some fiberglass. Nothing serious, just something fun to haul my dirt bikes around in. Then of course fabtech quit making their lift. After pricing a few places for a custom coil over job I decided I didn't have the cash. I still have the '73 though, and will keep it for a while in case I hit the lottery.
