New Truck, Rare Find?

[HINZ28]

Found a 2000 K2500 with a 7.4L 454 backed by a Nv4500 with 142k. Picked it up locally for $6K which was pobably to much but i couldnt pass it up. Truck was beat up and probably had never been waxed in 13 years by the original owner. So i put way to much time into it and brought it back to life. Buffed and pushed all the metal straight again PDR the whole truck to and amazing finish

Do i i collect parts and SAS a HP60 under it or keep it as a tow rig for the K5?

Thoughts on truck? I also threw a tailgate on it. It will be getting some black paint soon

This.

Awesome truck. Regular cab longbox trucks that are nicely optioned, and in decent shape are hella rare.

I say keep it stock and leave the K5 as the wheeler. Level it up a little bit and drive it.

I included a pic of my old 98 K3500 it has a 4" and 33's on 18s.

8654k30 that's a great looking truck. I do want to level it out but I don't want to ruin the smooth ride. I've had other k2500 that I cranked up and bounced all over the road. I want to thow some 285s or > on and call it good. Maybe level a little if I have to

I gotta get some cab lights. I really like your truck!

I hear ya, that black truck drove like crap with the tuff country lift on it, never could get it aligned correctly.

Here is a picture of the one I have now, about a 1" crank anymore and the upper control arm contacts the bumpstop. Has 265/75/16's on the PYO HD wheels. Drives great with no headache!

 

[HINZ28]

Wow I wanted a white ext cab just like that before I found this one. 1" crank looks good. I may have to do that

PYO wheels look better than any GM wheel ever made. You have good tastes lol

 

[sweetk30]

88-98 or 00 8 lug trucks had lift kits that droped the upper control arm down with the lift kit . this made them dam near impossible to keep a alignment in them .

if you wana lift one look if thay sell a raised knuckle kit or sas that sucker.

but if me and wanted ride + 2855 on it . i wwould do a full 3" body lift with all bumper raise brackets / gap gaurds / and other stuff to make it look as close to stock as possible.
