Gotta brag a little...picked up my new parts truck tonight

[k5-newbie]

Just got back to my shop with my "new" truck. I bought a 90 4X4 SRW crew cab tonight for (dun dun duuuun) ...800 bucks . It has a D60, 14 bolt, big block, turbo 400, and a 205 case. Now the fun begins...time to dissasemble it and my K5 and make the Blazer bullet proof!!(for the most part anyway).


sorry for the interuption, but I had to tell someone

dude.. take the front end out of your blazer. Swap with the crew cab...


Keep the Crew cab for a tow rig, Build a 383 put it in your blazer, your set...

that is if the crew cab is in decent shape to drive on the road... Lets see some pics.

Sweet price! Man, I need a deal like that!!!!

I'll try to get pics up tomorrow...gonna keep the TBI 350 I swapped in a few months ago, but definitely gonna swap axles and drive train(less motor). I thought I did pretty well on the price. The truck was actually a bird hunting truck in south Texas, so it is not in such great shape, but the drive train seems to be solid.

Damn, poor crew cab, too bad.

I thought that was what crew cabs were for...was I wrong?

800 buck nice score. I was looking at a 88 crew 1 ton 60/14 454 th400 np205 with a plow for 2700!!! only one spot of rust on this one though and it was surface rust.

As rare as they are, I just think its a shame when they are stripped down for the parts.

It really is a cool truck, except for the bed that they cut the sides out so you can walk through the side. I am gonna look at it a little closer today and may end up putting the drive train from my Blazer back in it and using it as a tow rig. I will get some pics up today as soon as I can figure out how to use my gallery

Ditto, a '90 is about as good as it gets. The nice front clip, TBI BBC, and the latest interior and exterior conveinences before they went with the newer ugly IFS body.

I would be using the K5 as the parts truck for the crew cab.

Well, someone rigged up a big block in the crew cab and did away with the TBI...they also made a homeade carb spacer for the "aftermarket" motorcraft carb . As soon as I get a break from work, Im gonna check out what else on this beast is subpar.
