5/4 ton fun
Does it run as nice as it looks? What gearing does it have? I've been wondering how well the 6.2/4 speed combo works.
It actually runs really good, it has had a new goodwrench 6.2 at some point but not sure of miles. Haven't driven it much I will let you know on the 6.2/4sp.

Picked this one up today. It's an '82 Silverado with a 6.2 and a 4 speed. The engines bad, so I'm trying to decide if I should go back with another 6.2 or maybe put in a big block.

i have never seen a white one, mighty fine.

Yup, was the standard transmission offering for the 3/4 tons and the 1 tons. The 6.2 does really well with the manual tranny behind it. Gets a little more of the power it makes to the ground...

Here is my new CC I picked up a few weeks ago
I've been keeping an eye on CL for a 1 ton tow rig in either 2wd or 4wd in a chevy crewcab flavor . I found one up in the Couv and made the guy an offer of $1700 cash and drove it home . Needs some new tires but with 98k original showing on the clock and a rebuilt 454 I couldn't go wrong . It's a 81 1 ton duelly 4x4 , 454/t400-np205 , d60 front and rear d70 4:10 gears . Has gooseneck 5th wheel hitch in back interior needs some help and I'm gonna gut it and redo it because the guy was a smoker and it stinks inside
. I have a 6" lift kit laying around here and it does need new tires
. My burb was not gonna cut it as a part time tow rig so I scrapped that idea and besides I can now wheel the burb and not give a **** if I hurt it
.

Picked up a '01 GMC 3500 and threw a topper on the '90 3+3(not sure if I like how it looks).
Will probably be selling the crew cab so if anyone's interested......

8.1L on the new tow rig?

Yep, torquey mutha
It gets about the same mileage as the CC but I knew that when I bought it. It was a really good deal so I figure the money I saved will pay for gas. I had looked at getting a 3/4 'burb with the 8.1 but kind of wanted to get the Allison too.

Here's some K30 trucks I've owned in the past year:
1982 regular cab K30
1982 Chevy K30 with a factory 292 inline 6:
1981 K30 Dually Crew Cab... bought it for $1500, drove it 2 months, traded it for a Toyota FJ55 Landcruiser on 36" swampers with a small block running and driving, a Generator/Welder setup fully functional and I also got $400 cash. Then I sold the 36" tires, 1/2 ton axles, and stock 350 motor out of the Landcruiser and got $1200 and kept the FJ55 body/frame, with TH350/205, still set up for a small block, and turned around and bought the Dually back for $1000 from the same guy, drove it 3 more months till the body was about to fall apart, then sold the motor, tranny, rear end, etc... and came out overall from this deal with a $785 profit and I kept the Landcruiser body, Welder Generator, Dana 60, and NP205 (400 version) for free.
1979 K30 crew cab
1980 K30 crew cab (ended up using for parts)
1982 Crew Cab (also became parts)
1983 K30 regular cab
1978 K30 Crew Cab:
And I know it doesnt count to have 1-ton axles swapped under as a true K30... but what about when you use a K30 frame, Dana 60 and 14-bolt under a C10 body?
Or an original 1978 C20 that was converted to a K20, and then put onto a '79 K30 frame with a 60 and 14 bolt?
And my brown '85 K30 project is still under progress, getting a SB400, NV4500, Np205, shown here with my '81 Crew Cab waiting to get a Cummins motor, NV4500/205, and a '90 nose clip and doors.
The "Big Crew Cab" project wont really be a "K30" anymore cause it's getting 2.5 Ton Rockwells.

Ive been hiding. 
nahhh... just been busy and too cheap to renew my membership, and occupied with a little bit of everything. So my online time has been pretty full and rarely get a chance to be on here. Figured I'd have to stop in though.
