My first wheelin was in an 83 c10 with a 305/sm465. It had what my daddy calls "pappy mudders." I think they were 31x10.50's We would have to mud of of nessessity at times when at the deer lease or checkin cows. I learned to drive in that truck. I also got interested in all things mechanical by watching daddy put a new cam in it when the stocker went flat. I was about 8 eight at the time.
We then got a new to us 91 chevy 1/2 4x4. I learned what 4x4 was in that truck. He just sold it a few months ago to buy my mom a tahoe.
Then I got my 86 k5. I really learned a lot from this truck.
ahh the memories the post brought up
thanks

Buddy's 88 k5 blazer. Would ride along with him when my 95 2wd silverado wouldnt go any further. Was going to SFA 4wd convert the silverado but would have been much more $$$ than my High School butt could handle. Started searching for a k5 after i became friends with Mattk and Leper. And the first 4wd i drove was my 83.
85 toyota PU. solid axle.
My friend took Mine and his girlfriends 4wheelin in Azusa OHV area. 2 of us were in the back sitting on the carpet kit being thrown all over. it was a blast. we left a couple Preppies in their Moms exploder there High centered in the water.

My first wheeling experience ever was as a passenger 5 deep in a 92 Jeep Cherokee on 235-75-15 BFG Long Trails.
My first REAL wheeling experience was in a cosmetically challenged 75 Bronco on 33" TSLs. It's amazing how far a 33 can go when there is absolutely no regard for the cosmetic well-being of a vehicle
. After all it was a Ford

long time ago!...
My first 4x4 ride I can remember was in an early 60's GMC my dad drove home one snowy night from the Gas and Electric company he worked at..he usually drove a C10 2wd truck with a straight 6 and three on the tree,but when a nor'easter was forecast and he was "on call",he was given a 4x4 to use instead most of the time..they used tire chains on all 4 wheels if things got really bad..we often got 18 to 24" of snow overnight where we lived then..
One particularly bad winter in 1969 we had only about a week of school in february--it snowed one storm after another for weeks!..got over 40" of snow in just 2 days,then several 6" storms..took the city weeks to clean up the streets enough to allow classes to be held..
I remember my dad bringing us to school in that truck,since our 64 Dodge station wagon was still buried in the garage at the bottom of a hill in our 100 foot long driveway.. (took a week of shoveling and using a snowblower to get the car out!)..I was thrilled to see a huge snowdrift blocking our street about a 1/4 mile from our house,as high as the trucks windsheild!..my dad tried going through it,but made it only about halfway in 2wd..he was not real familiar with the 4x4 truck,but he managed to get it in 4wd ..and soon it was moving,ever so slowly in granny low..snow came over the hood,and the cab went dark!
I'll always remember the way the truck spun the wheels,then jumped forward a few feet,and kept repeating this motion over and over,and you could hear the snow being squashed up against the floor of the cab!..the truck just kept doing this spin/hop/ bouncy thing and we almost hit the roof a few times!..next thing I know the wipers clear all the snow away,and we are on the other side of the drift..only a few hundred feet away was a huge Diamond Reo Snowfighter thing with a HUGE snowblower on it,just getting ready to chew the drift off the road!.. ..glad WE made it through,or we'd have been hamburger!..the guy driving it was quite suprised to see us make it thru that drift..
First 4x4 I owned was a 1972 K5 Blazer,I bought in 1981...had a 1971 K5 "CST" later on,a 1975 2wd,a 1971 K1500 GMC with a plow(first plow I had ever,about 1987)..also had a 74 K20,and my current truck the 82 K20 with plow..I'll never be without 4wd again,of some sort--even if gas prices mean getting a Subaru or Sumari or similar econobx..its a lifesaver in new england!..

I had a 78 lincoln when I was sixteen, that thing was a tank. My first real 4x4 was a 76 ford f250, it had a 390ci and a c6. I was 17 when I got that truck and I thought that it was awesome until I got an 84 chevy 1 ton with a 60 over big block and a 4 speed. After that I just never could go back to a ford

81 toyota 4x4. What a blast that was with the girlies! It took my 72 K20 to get me up oldsmobile hill at glamis though. The toy only made it 1/4 way.

i was in an 84 yota pickup with my uncle when i was like 10 just screwing around in a big construction site. I think. Then i got my truck...
It was an old jeep pick up...then a Blazer shortly after and then I was hooked! Had to have 1
volvo 240 DL. It belonging to my buddies mom and taught us that throttle can often get you to places you werent ment to go!
1954 Dodge Power Wagon that we used to keep up at the Cabin I don't think that truck has ever been outta Low Range that thing Climbed Like a goat and would slog through the mud like a Champ after getting My License it was My 77 W-300 440-NP435-NP205-60-70 ,4.88 gears and a PTO winch I put a set of 36" Buckshot's on it and wheeled the piss out of it until I joined the Airforce in 98 I'd like to get it going again it's a Badass truck. When I first moved to New Mexico I bought a 78 ramcharger with a 440 and put W-300 running gear under it with 38" tsl's but it was stolen in El Paso. After that I bought my "Yellowk20" and have been wheeling Chevys ever since
The first I can remember is my dads 76 ford f250 with a 4" lift and 33 gumbo mudders. We had a swamp out back of our first house, and my uncle went through it in his suzuki king quad dared my dad to go through it. I really wish I could find the videos of him and I blastin through that swamp and spraying my uncle with mud as my dad did a donut.
My first driving experience was my dads 89 dodge ram 50. It did surprizingly well untill I high centered it on a log in the outside of a swamp on the way to pick up my deer, and my dads deer, while hunting on our property up in Hart, MI.
Now that I have my blazer I absolutely love it and will never get rid of it. My blazer and this site has tought me soo much. I went from not knowing what a ten bolt is to replacing half shafts on the trail.. thanks ck5
