Introductions & Greetings

Welcome!

One thing to consider, the D44 axles you are considering are equal in strength to the GM 10 bolts you have in there now. To me, it would seem a waste of time and money to swap in D44s. For what you want to do with the truck I would suggest keeping the 10b axles and limiting your tire size to 33s or less.

new guy

Hey everyone. My name is Jake and I am an automotive tech. in PA near Pittsburgh. I have a 78 Chevy longbed with a 454, sm465, FF14bolt, D44, and a 10" lift. It has a shackle flip in the back and crossover steering. Upgrades sitting in the garage right now include an NV4500 2wd tranny, early dodge divorced transfercase with 32 spl. shafts, front spool, 5.13s, Dana 60, and 1410 yokes all around. Still looking for gears and locker for the rear. Great forum everyone, I'm glad I could be a part of it.

You need 5 posts before you can post pics. And idk if u can have an avatar without the membership (which is way worth it)

Hi everyone,
Glad to see people here are working to keep up these great trucks.
I am currently working on a diesel 85 K5 Blazer. It needs a good bit of work, but I think I will like this one more than a new one when I get somewhat finished. (I enjoy working on old trucks too, so it's a little more than "practical") It's a 4x4, my first, and a first to work on diesel motors too.
I look forward to learning from all of your experience on this site, and hopefully contribute a little too.
Thanks,
Jethro

Hey all

Hey guys, my name is Marshall, I'm a 21 year old college student living in Colorado Springs, CO, and I just bought my first K5! I have experience with muscle cars and some light off roading in my old Ford Ranger, but I'm excited to work on this new project and I think I'm gonna enjoy using CK5 as a resource for information and expertise! I'll start up another thread in the appropriate spot with info and pictures of my truck. Thanks everybody! Glad to be here!

All in

Always wanted to restore an 80's Chevy, found an 86" k-5 blazer silverado. First step i sold my 07' silverado so i could focus on restoration, so far new trans, transfer case, shocks, brakes, and other misc things. Joined after realizing i kept refering to site for help,so thx for all the help so far

New to K5 and happy to be here.

Howdy All, The name's Troy and I are the Proud owner of "Sven, The Battle Barge" (Ah, the joy of nine year old girls naming things, love it. )
Anyway, Sven is an 85' K20 Suburban with a 4' lift on 35's slowly being converted into an expedition truck for my 3 daughters and me to toole around in.
Have my 400 HP, 86' Corvette TPI L98 being transplanted in front of a modified T56 and an ORD doubler to run this beastie. slow going but well worth it as it is my dream truck.
Can't wait to hear from / chat with this huge community as picking the brains of knowledgeable people is always a pleasure to the soul.
