Hey @bent72 , I sure hope you can get @Rusty1970 straightened out on this. I don't know how to help him without the subscription!

I'm tempted to create a user account just to try and drive from the non-paid side of the fence. Kinda rude asking the new folks to pony up just to sort em out.
It might be like that on purpose though

Just found the introduction thread, apparently I posted in the wrong place but here it is: Hey I'm new here, just checking in. A few friends & I wanted to find an affordable rig to take up to Lind, WA for some derby races. We settled on this stripped & rusted 1976 K5 & couldn't be happier since she's rough but ready. I'll likely be asking for advice, tips & plenty of bonehead questions so thought I'd introduce myself first!
She's stock 1976.. 350 & NP205, runs strong & drives well. We're prepping it for a very aggressive event & I'm already getting attached so any advice for how to make this survive & thrive will be much appreciated.
Here's a quick vid of the event so you get the idea:

Well the NP205 is not factory then. Some one swapped it in place of the NP203 at some point.

So you are going to enter that in a demolition derby?

I misspoke then, I'm new to the rig & thought the NP205 came stock, it's likely the NP203 then. I'll be going through the rig next weekend to make sure everything is as it should be.
& I'm going to be racing her on a dirt track, demolition isn't the goal, but it's the realistic result. Most rigs get a few years with a decent driver, I hope to be so lucky.

I can do that!

Hello all! I figured I'd introduce myself. My name is Jake, and I live in Arkansas. I found this site via google, and seen that it had a lot of great info so I joined to take advantage and learn all I could. I recently bought my first K5 a couple months ago. My father had one as a toy when I was younger and I've always wanted once since the day he sold his. I finally made it happen. I bought a 1 owner 1978. It had a stock Goodwrench 350, 4 speed, brand new lift, wheels/tires, clutch, brakes, and a few other items. It's slowly getting freshened up as I have time. So far I've installed longtubes, removed the carpet to install spray in bedliner, removed exterior moldings, and fixed the few dents/dings it had. The plan is to beef the motor up some just to make it a little more fun, and clean up the interior/exterior, all while keeping it looking as original as possible.

The factory four speed rigs are fairly rare.

Jake from State Farm? Probably haven't heard that one before. 
Really nice looking truck. Does it have the NP203 with a part time kit, or some other transfer case? I don't know if the full time case was just an automatic thing.
