Hey guys I have some thoughts going tru my head

[Chrisblazzer89]

I was think of building a new truck. I have 87 k5 i just got for free and i was thinking of swapping over an Elcamino body onto the k5 frame and building a mud camino what do you guys think? Would it be to much work or pretty straight forward?

OK OK What about a chopped dropped k5 2wd with a blower and slicks

dude lifted Elcamino's are the sh!t they ,are so stupid that they are cool I say you do it

I'd say put a mid 70s chevy van on it.

thats good to know there are thoughts in there, I would hate to think there is just empty space in that there nogin j/k.



when I was a kid I saw a 4x4 camino that was bad ass, but now I would say just build the k5 and call it good, but do what you want its your build. if you want to do it, do it, and dont give a rats ass about what anybody thinks.

I already have a built K5 I want something new.



The van idea sounds cool.

The worst thing I've ever seen was someone who took a mint '68 Firebird and stuck it on a truck frame with about 16" of lift. Tragedy for 4x4, tragedy for the greatest muscle car ever.

Given the relative amount of space in the back of a K5 without the rear seat, why not try to redesign the rear area to incorporate a 37" LCD tv, a 5.1 surround system, an X360, and a chopped down and reupholstered rear seat mounted backwards? Definitely a show truck idea there, but none of this stupid 4" screens mounted everywhere - it'd be functional.

I'd imagine with a Suburban without the rear seats, done like above, you could make a 42" look pretty good in there.

Ok last thing i want to do is build a show truck. I want to build a k5 that has a chance on the quarter mile
