Hey guys,
Been surfing this fourm for a good while, Names Jack. Still haven't been able to become a full member yet, but my birthdays the 26th so I think i'll be able to take care of that hah...Anyway, This thread is going to follow the build of my chevy k5. I got it from my grandma for free
1985 k5 power everything, tilt, cruise, 700r4, 5.0 305 -shes small but gets the job done for now-, It only has 67k miles, but sadly it lived alot of its life sitting over grass..But it could be worse. As of now the mods are 2 1/2 straight duals with cherry bombs, holly 600 street avenger, holly air filter, chrome valve covers, timing cover*bling* 
aluminum intake. 35's "only payed 50 bucks for all 4, not new but hey they were 50 bucks" bedlined floor. Recently I bought another k5 parts truck, full truck, 1983, 4 speed manual, 12 bolt and dana 44 axles, smitty built nerfs and push bar, these really cool guards that go on the doors above the windows, bug guard, visor, 4 inch lift leaf springs all around, 33's on aluminum rims, interior is black, and clean which is what I needed, nice seats, a nicer hardtop with a sweet aluminum spoiler -the rice in the bowtie- and alot of other parts, and I only payed 200 bucks and a quad I only payed 100 bucks for. Selling alot of parts, full blazer tub, frame, and more if anyones looking. Anyway..So I have alot planned for this build, alot of custom stuff, and hopefully i'll end up with a sweet k5 worthy of having a ck5 sticker on it 
So thanks to everyone who takes their time to check out my build, and hopefully you'll keep coming back hah..And I wanna say this site, and seeing people building amazing rigs "muddin manny that truck is sickkk" and all the info def makes me want to finish my project and I know if I get stuck I can always come here hah. So enough for now its picture time. I'll update as I progress, I'm hoping to get alot of step by step pics. So enjoy! 
This is the big ugly sob when I started with her.
cleaned up my rims and mounted my 35's
I pulled her apart to prime and whatnot, basic body cleanup, ect.
Finished priming, coated the floor inside, finished putting the intake on, new gaskets, valve covers, ect.
I'll have more pics asap, next few things in mind to do is put the lift on, sandblast the underbelly and undercoat, start on the custom side panel sub boxes that will be bedlined. So untill then, thanks again for checking out my thread!
