WL: 1975 K5 (previously "Another new (to me) K5.")

It doesn't flex quite as well as the other one.

It's a great tow rig!

I lie, it is not a great tow rig, but I did get it home.

Haha, it was kind of an unexpected deal. I also ended up just putting down a gravel road for thirty miles to keep out of everyone's way.

The u-bolts came loose with just the impact on the right rear 4" lift block.

Replaced with a 2" lift block I got from FingRob. Thanks!

The left side fought me a little. Had to break two off with the ratchet.

I am half tempted to leave it just like this. Looks pretty level to me.

Ok, so I lied about not towing with it.

It's kind of sad that the mower is worth more than the combined value of the truck and trailer.....

For the less than $2,000 that I have into it, I'm not too worried about the rust.

So these are the Top Of The (80's) Line Burbank Suspension front lift springs.

What does everyone think of me pulling the bottom two springs out of the pack and bolting it back together? I think that might make it sit level again. Any reason why I shouldn't? Thoughts? Concerns?

Don't mind that loose return fuel line.....

The 402 had a fuel pump on it with no return. I have thought about swapping to a fuel pump with a return.
