I went and looked it this truck today. I really like it alot.
454/400/205 60/14 with 373s open diffs. 130k on the truck. window motors are slow and the headliner is missing. the previous previous owner(who did all the dumb crap to it) put a light on top and it didnt seal very well so it leaked into the cab. top of the doors on the cab have some rust. but none anywhere else. the current owner has just driven it around town and on the ranch for the last six years.
ive got a good idea of an end goal but its gonna take alot of work to get there.
will look like:
i plan on wheeling this truck, mostly mud but id like to get in to some mild rocks just to feel it out.
im pretty set on buying it but he wants 3700 and is very firm on the price. im fairly cool with that price. less than i paid for my stock K5 when i got it several years ago.
a couple questions ive got is whats the ideal tire size for 4.56? cucv axles will probably find their way under here just because of the cost of them vs regearing and detroiting these. i really like the 6-7 inch with 38s-40s look, would that size tire put me in the pocket for the highway cruising rpms of the 454 ?
H1 beadlocks with boggers for offroad and maybe some steelies with the michelin 11r16s for on road. again 4.56 too much?
first, is this a drw hub for the 60 or just some aftermarket spacer? i thought the drw hubs had 8 little ears all over it. this truck started life as an srw truck.
what the hell is all this emissions crap? its an 86 and it has a serp style and vbelt setup? id like to eliminate all of it and get an older qjet and some nice headers eventually, will losing all that crap make me have to get new pulleys and accessories?
then heres the tcase trans and motor pans:
then heres the 14 bolt
wierd ass swaybar brackets?
nice bent upside down ubolts
heres a really cool flatbed but its welded to the frame as is the big ass front bumper. i planned on putting a srw bed on it but that popped the bubble right there. lots of work getting that off the frame. also they cut the rear frame horns about 6 inches after the shackle hangers.
and heres the inside which is pretty nice, ac blows ice cold! its been parked in a barn for a while when hes not using it. lots of free mud daubers everywhere.
so it need a good reconditioning but do yall spot anything a noob cant see? what do yall think?
