JR's 91 K5 Modern meets Classic (NV4500 help needed)

[79bonanza]

Okay that brings everything up to date.

From here I have a lot of the smaller things coming that you always seem to forget. I still need to transfer my wiring harness for my taillights and fuel tank and stuff to the new frame.

Also I need to make new brake lines and fuel lines. I'm running full stainless hard lines and AN fittings so it takes a minute to finish them up.

 

[79bonanza]

These are my prototype fuel line and brake line mounts I've been working on.
This is the 2nd design that I came up with just to get an idea of what it'll look like. I'm actually running my 3rd design on my blazer but I can't show pics just yet of it

Nice to see the SM465.

Yeah I had plans of going nv4500 but honestly the fastest I drive is like 65 and my gear ratio is 3.73 so the 6.0 won't really be screaming that much. I personally like the sm465, tough and worry free. Only real down fall is not having over drive.

 

[79bonanza]

Well I guess I need to get this project moving along faster. I don't think my "shop" is going to last much longer

Fancy pants fuel line mounts

 

[79bonanza]

Well one final clean and touch up and the new frame is sliding under my poor looking blazer in the background

 

[79bonanza]

I got my body lift and bushings from off road design. I really like the aluminum 1" body lift but I made my own little mods to it.



I glued some rubber to the bottom side of the body lift to eliminate some vibration and noise deading. Just trying to avoid any squeaking and corrosion

 

[79bonanza]

Well I got the heavy duty tie rod from ORD and a custom drag link for my blazer.
Both are extremely beefy and well built.

 

[79bonanza]

I also have a heavy duty psc box on the way. I already got the pitman arm, removed the four thick splines for unlimited indexing

And after

I need to touch it up with the file before final install

 

[y5mgisi]

Good stuff!

 

[79bonanza]

Thank ya sir

For awhile there I thought my thread was invisible lol

 

[82355]

I see it.

Martin

 

[79bonanza]

I guess I'll keep the updates coming then

 

[79bonanza]

I got this beauty in the mail today


Hopefully it's as high quality on the inside as it is on the outside

 

[82355]

No hydro assist?

Martin

 

[79bonanza]

I'm going to after I get the truck running on the road so I can be sure the new crossover isn't giving me any issues, then I'll put the ram on

 

[beags86]

Where did you pick that up from?

 

[79bonanza]

I ordered it through Off Road Design. Looks pretty nice so far

 

[79bonanza]

Well I'm working to get the body off the frame, it's been going pretty so so, so bolts come out easy some don't

I had no idea my seat flipped up this far
