Hey folks,
I just recently purchased my first K5. It's a 1976 that was converted to a 305, I will eventually drop a 350 back in it but the 305 was recently rebuilt so I will enjoy the slightly better gas prices for now. Anyway as I mentioned this is my first K5 and will be spending much time trying to restore/preserve it. I have found LMC is a good place to start but if you guys could help me in this endevour I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Jason

Seeking info
Im Gordon, I have a pretty open budget and a $200 87 burb that I bought off my neighbor in college because he blew it up like a dumbass for a new car.
I am looking at different future engine possibilities, no smaller than the current bowtie 350, but probably an inline diesel. I have a 4bt that I was going to drop into a 4Runner but who knows.
Currently bolting on an NV4500 and put a few inches of lift on it and a full set of CUcV axles under it.

Whats up all, Glad to be here. Long story short. I have had quite a few chevy trucks over the years mostly for work duty, my last one was an 86 chevy short bed 4x4. I put a little bit of money and work into it to make it more fun and better for trails and exploring. Alas it just wasn't what i was looking for, mainly because i put buckets in it and only two people at a time could ride around in it, and i have a son and a daughter that love to go on trail rides with me and my wife. Then my brother offered to trade me his 87 jimmy with a stroker motor but no other mods for my shortbed chevy with a medium list of mods, i jumped on the deal, problem solved and i always wanted a blazer or jimmy any way. My brother got the better deal but i make more money then him. The jimmy fits me better so i am happy. Now let the mods begin. Allready have the transfer cases for a doubler now just need to find a D60 for the front and i will be good to go. hard to find a D60 front around here, and then i think back 15 years ago i sold a 1979 1 ton 4x4 for 500 bucs, wish i had that truck now
. Oh well i will not bore any body any further.

Ok so Im a new guy here. My truck is an 1985 GMC Jimmy Sierra Clasic. Its the fullsize bad boy with the 4 wheel drive. Its got an 8" lift and deep dish centerline Pacer wheels. Its a total project ruck except for the fact that as far as I know I have to keep it stock due to the fact that I live in California and it is saddly not a federal truck. If anyone out there knows of the cheap tricks to get my truck more power, better fuel econmy and still pass smog please let me know. I NEED HELP. Thanks.

And welcome to CK5!!!
Hey everyone. New here, sorta, iv been a memeber for sometime now and finally decided it was time to become a supporting memeber so i can reap the benefits this site has to offer. Well i am 25, i am active duty ARMY with 6 years in, and 2 deployments under my belt. I am stationed at Ft Stewart GA. My MOS(job) is a Metal Worker/Welder. I am married, no kids. I drive a 1988 K5 Silverado the truck has only 80k miles and is my DD. My upgrades are in my signature so i want go into that. But my future plan is a 14b FF rear/Dana 60 front with 4.56s, cross over steering, and coil over/4 link suspension front and rear from ORD, custom front and rear bumper, and winches front and rear. I plan to make a very capable off road/trail rig, that is still nice enough to take out and show off, and DD. Well thank you for having me. I hope learn alot here and be great addition to your familly.

Thanks but that isn't all that easy. California smog rules are prolly stricter here than anywhere else. I heard I can swap exhaust manifolds and the serpentine kit from a mid 1990s truck but dont know if its all that legal I think I just need to move back to Arvada, CO and get it over with!
