Show us your stuff. 73-91 Picture Thread

Patrick. What were your reasons for going back to the 78 front clip?

So I haven't posted on here in a while. But I did a clip swap and put a 78 front clip on mine. I then broke my rear axle, so I upgraded to a 14bff. So that lead to a front 8bolt swap to have matching wheels. However I only got a band-aid rear that didn't match the front gears. So I got a nice little christmas gift from my folks. So last week I picked up some new wheels and tires. And today I picked up a new cucv rear with the correct ratio.
 
I kind of liked that clip better. Plus the 91' clip needed a new hood and fenders, and the price was right on the 78. Also I was born in 78' so why not have a truck that has a look from when I was born.

Now sitting on HD D60 front and D70 rear with 6" front springs, stock rear springs with custom made rear spring hangers. It sits on 35x12.50-16.5s and I'm waiting for some 2" rear springs to level it. 1987 GMC 1500

76 K5... as you can see, I need a lot of body work.. actually a lot of EVERYTHING work...the DB who had it before me jacked up the hood by trying to force it closed when the hinges were frozen... and yes, that is a keg in the back :P

Body looks clean compared to most!

A couple good trail runs could help blend in any scars on that rig....:waytogo:

You should go out to Bridgeport and do some wheeling.
 
This if the first 4x4 I've ever owned. Traded my 96 honda civic for it and I'm loving the crap out of it. Already came with a 6" lift with 36" tires. Joined this site so I can learn some things from people here. I'm a total noob so go easy on me :whistle:

Here's some pictures of my truck and first 4x4 project.

Looks like a perfect starting point. You can learn a lot with that truck and the people here. :waytogo:
 
Pic of all of them. It's a little old, but not much has changed yet. The little 2wd is all black now.
