Picked up an 88 K5 Little over a year ago, With plans for a Future Build, Well the Future is now. Sold My 06 Yamaha YZ 450f last month to fund the build. So i had a starting Budget of 3600 Bones.
Pic of when i first got it. Payed 1500 bucks had a New GM crate TBI 350/4speed/208,
The Driver seat was really broken down So i got a set of
04 Crewcab front seats
I put about 1k miles on it n the fuel pump went out so 6 months later i put one in. So this thing has sat for most of the time i have owned it.
So with summer coming up i figured i better throw a rig together to take the family wheelin.
I pulled the tons out of my old 4x4 along with the crossover n started ordering parts.
The Doner truck
So im startin with a set of tons and a bone stock k5.
The parts list so far.

5.38 Gears From PORC

35 Spline Flanges for the 60

Reusing my Procomp 15" rear shocks
The 14b already has Disk Brakes.
Plans also include a New th400 and another Doubler. as soon as Funds alow.
Going to Build a Cage and Bumpers I have a 12500 Tmax Winch for the Front.
