1/2 ton status
Well, it has been an extremely fun project thus far, but its time to let her go. I'd say its about 90% complete...runs and drives the only things left are smaller issues that I simply don't have time for these days with a 5-month old little one running around, lol.
Anyway, here are the details:
1986 K5, 6.2 700R4 NP208 roughly 160K on the odometer (diesel VIN)
Dana 60/Corp 14B axles, 4.56 gears, rear Detroit and front Spartan lockers
GM-8 turbo, 6.5 exhaust manifold and x-over
Banks sidewinder intake hat
J code intake (EGR deleted)
9K Ramsey winch w/roller fairlead & 100' cable
TNA winch cradle (still have the factory bumper if wanted)
Caddy calipers
New e-brake cables
Extra IP and 8 injectors for 6.2
Banks gauge pack (EGT and Boost) on A pillar
Autometer diesel tach (takes signal from alternator)
Manual glow plug relay
New front door seals
new AC evaporator and drier (needs to be charged)
ORD Swaybar disco's
DIY shackle flip
L/R power window motors still in the boxes
Grey silverado seats from GMT900 series truck
Interior lined with MonstaLiner
5-37" Wrangler MTs on 12B H1 beadlocks (w/PVC inserts)
Rear bumper w/swing away
SOLD!
I've also got a 2012 Longhorn 16' car-hauler, 7K, with less than 1K miles on that I could throw in the deal
SOLD!
Edit: I have received some questions about delivery...I'd say about 400 miles is the farthest I'd be willing to drive.
Also, couple of questions on more pics and the paint. Check my build thread for more pics and I'll do my best to get some more uploaded for you. The paint is rustoleum blue implement paint. It not perfect, I'd say a pretty decent 10 ft paint job...has a few spots here and there, but it seems pretty solid and is at least a solid color, much better than the faded and chipping away blue and clear it had. It won't win any shows, but I would not be embarrassed to drive it because of that.
