Newbie saying hello.

Newbie here. Looking for burb ideas for my project. I am working on a 1989 2500 Suburban. 5.7 4 speed 4x4. Great rig so far. How do I post pics here?
 
Whats up everyone..my name is dave and i live in vista ca, i have a 1981 k5, it has a 6" rancho lift and 33's (soon to be replaced by 4-link and 35's) the motor is a 383 stroker and it has an ISKY R.V. cam, a steel crank, 650 four barrel, an Edelbrock high rise intake and high compression heads...the tranny is a freshly rebuilt (by Waltbuilt) turbo 350, the axles are 10 bolt front and 12 bolt rear (stock gears) and thats about it...i want to find a decent pre-bent cage to weld in and get some gears and lockers and maybe a safari top (depending on whats the "reviews" are on them.)
 
Noob to the forum

Hello all,
Rodney from Wasilla, Alaska here.
Been a GM fan all my life (near as I can tell anyhow). I have owned a few K5's in the past but my current project is a 87 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban.

Looking for some good ideas, possibly info on doing a blazer top.
 
Greetings All -

Name's Tom, and I'm from Central Wisconsin. I've dabbled in IH Scouts (3), Jeeps (4), Early Broncos (2), and currently own a 94 4x4 Toyota shortbox p/u, and a recently aquired '75 Blazer (UPS stands for Ugly Piece O' S**t - Wife's idea). The Blazer has a NP205 with the original SM465, and a 350 of more recent vintage. Someone put a 4" all-spring (no blocks) lift on it, and it sports a set of weather-cracked 35" mud kings.

First thing I did was to remove the top (anyone need one???), and the doors - Which were pretty well shot. Plans are to reinforce the door area, possibly filling the opening about halfway up with 1/8" steel, with some 1/4" angle iron welded on/in for support/stiffness. The front floors are pretty solid, with only a couple rough spots (holes). The rear floor area has been addressed by a previous owner (you don't want to know...)

The thing runs great, and will be an off-road only hunting beater. I've got about a hundred acres of woods, swamp, and fields to roam, and I'm only into it for about 600 bucks at this point.

I've already gotten a couple good ideas from roaming this site!

Thanks,

Tom

Hello All,
My name is James and I am fairly new to CK5...I have been all over the site just haven't had time to interact. I live in the Philadelphia area in PA (West Chester) and I have been customizing my 79 K5 for a little over a year.
I have 1 ton axles, 383 stroker create motor, P205 transfer case and a Th350 trans with a b&m shift kit. Also have a 6 inch lift and fabbed some bumpers and soon a swing out tire carrier and a custom gauge cluster.
I would love to hear any input for tire carrier/ gauge cluster that anyone has run in to in the past.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you all!
James

Hello my name is Bill from Wv. I have an 84 k20 6" and 38.5's 406/400/208 project. 89 k5 6" 35's 350/700r4/241 mall crawler. 85 Jimmy 2" 33's 350/700r4 91 f/c just picked up last week future crawler. I plan on putting 1 tons under all three, have the axles but not the time yet. I'm concentrating on the crawler for now just sold my 96 cherokee crawler to step up to full size since I have so many chevy parts. Love the site!
 
My name is Buzzz, I have a 75' Blazer with a small block, 4 speed and 205. Dana 44 and 12 bolt.
Just finishing up a 412 cubic inch small block and getting ready to completely re-do the old boy. It has 468,000 on it, and getting ready for another 200,000 with this build.
Here is what he looked like a few years back;
(Woops, can't post a pic just yet. Need more posts.)
I have been lost in the drag racing world for quite a while. I am trying to catch up on all the new companies, the new parts, etc. in the offroad world before I buy the wrong stuff to build my truck.

Ehy that sounds like a neat truck, btw, nobody makes 5.89's for a 14 bolt.
