Here's my 2. The first is an 89 4x2 454/400/4.10 rusty that has been used as a parts truck... The second is todays find 86 4x2 454/400/4.10 CA truck that has an yet to be determined fate. Its a runner/driver, at least after I fixed the packrat damage. I've never actually drove a crewcab truck so maybe a driver for awhile.

Yes it is handy to have your own tow truck... BTW its an 87 454/400/205/4.10 truck that I built late last year.

Thanx Gordon

The truck was built to be a worker, I just needed it pretty enough that the wife would ride in it:metal:

It's a 91 c3500 350/4l80e black on red. I bought it a couple months ago, already shortened. Right frame rail was not straight. I fixed it and all the other welds, then boxed the inside. Did some bed swapping, blazer tank, cleaned up the interior and slapped on some free 20"s. I think I'm going to flat black the whole thing soon.

2wd?

bustedknuckles 03-21-2012 07:36 AM

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 
Yes for now. I'm in the process of collecting parts to convert it to 4wd. Wanting to do d60 front, np205, 8"lift and 37"s.

Hello everyone, new to the site and love it. Hadnt had a square in a few years and got the itch for another. Just got this 86 K30 crew from a friend who had too many projects. 350/th400,D60,205,14bff. Installing lift and 37"s now, along with a 177 blower to get some more torque outta the 350. For now I'm going to get the lift, engine, and detailing chassis done and drive and enjoy it this summer and worry about the body/interior this winter. Rear lift not installed yet in these pics.

Here is my "new to me" Crew, I am deployed and saw this on craigslist in alaska and had my wife go get it for me! It has the 6.2L diesel that was just rebuilt. I cannot wait to get home to get started on her, she is a beauty and i practically stole this truck.

I have been scouring this site here the last few days getting ideas for my new project. Please give me your opinions. The running boards and camper are coming off first and then probably a 2.5 inch lift and just gonna put some 265/75's on it, not going too extreme on this one cause i want it set up to pull a 5th wheel camper. Will be posting more pics as priject progresses.

Here is my stocker dually with 235/85/16's. I opted for the skinny because of all the snow travel. Wide tires look cooler but if you want to cut the snow and ice the skinnies can't be beat. I see an Alaska post so that may be a thought. Suspension is fully stock here is how it sits.

Beautiful truck man - perfect!!!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 
Nice truck Bifman! :metal: Well, since i havent even seen the truck in person yet (May 15th!!!!) since i am deployed, i am thinking of just putting on the 265's, then deciding on the lift. but i may just keep it stock from what i am seeing here. That'll save about $800 on a suspension lift, so that is what i am hoping for. Thanks for the pics and suggestions.

Thanks for the pics joe321, i really like how urs sits. Think that is probably what i will go with, some stock white steelies and stock hubs with some 285's, and you have no lift on urs? Looks good.

joe231 03-27-2012 01:42 AM

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 
No problem
I don't think it has any lift.
The front springs, I believe, have 4 leafs.
I dunno if the 1 tons with the 6.2 have heavier spring or not.
I'll get a pic of my front springs tomorrow in the daylight.
I'll also measure from the center of the hub to the fender lip.

The guy i bought it off of said it had the tow package, i dont know if that means it has heavier springs, but would make sense to me that it would have the more heavy duty suspension system. thanks for all the good pics.

Whats up cvarboncrew! I work at cortessa and have seen your rig in your driveway. Looks awesome and I am also putting a 3x3 together up the road at my home at sierra montana on Waddell and 303....
