Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
anybody know where I can get some red seatbelts? I tried LMC truck but all they have is the factory style red(burgandy). I need a bright red.
I got the truck all together, got the seats, headliner, and carpet in. Now the real work can begin - cleaning and painting the undercarriage. I'll post some pics tomorrow. |
Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
Can't wait to see the progress on this one. Nice start, but I would have kept that 60 in there at a minimum, especially when your running such large wheels. Those king pin bushings will take a beating all day over any ball joint.

Here's a few pics of progress. Still gotta do the seatbelts, sunvisors, seat trim, dash, and door panels on the inside. Also gotta order a shackle flip kit to get the rear up 2.5".

I think I'm gonna call this truck the Craigslist Killer, because the truck was bought, lots of parts bought, and lots of deals have been made over Craigslist to make it happen. I ordered an Offroad Design shackle flip kit and got the grille installed. Thanks to the holidays, not much progress has been made. Just for comparison, here is the monster beside my 2500 Silverado work truck. The looks from people beside me at a stoplight driving the Toyoto Prius' is hilarious!

Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
HOLY HELL DUDE. The axles look puny.. time for rockwells.. LOL JK.
Are there blocks under the springs on the front? |
Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
Yeah I thought the same thing - axles look like toothpicks lol! It has 12" lift springs with 2" blocks in the front. That was all switched over from the K5, I never would have put the blocks in. I ordered new u-bolts from ORD so that I can take the blocks out. I'm worried if I remove the blocks the tires will rub. I'm gotta take some measurements, but what I wanna do is drop the front leaf brackets down to give it the lift without the blocks, and that will help turn my pinion angle up toward the driveshaft better.

I'm still working on the interior, sent the rest of my pieces to the uphostery shop the other day. Got my shackle flip kit in, waiting for the weather to warm up some (I can't work outside in this 20 degree weather - I'm from the southeast) so I can pull the bed and install them, then put the "new" bed back on. I put the rear blue doors on, still gotta install the front doors and hood that came off the suburban. |

Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
you might want to check out ord's 1 inch zero rate (leaf/block) to raise the front after you remove those 2 inch blocks. i have a set,they bolt rite to the spring so they shouldn't move or slip out

Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
The trucks starting to look really nice!
If you are interested in selling the dana 60 let me know. Im not far from you in VA. In all the parts you have also im looking for a NP205 as well if you have one that you won't be using. Thanks, David |
Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
Might be interested in the 4L80E as well if your selling.

A buddy of mine told me he has a 4speed trans and NP203 combo he wants to sell out of a 72? 4x4 truck. I would love to double my 205 with a 203 one day. If you're interested the only extra 205 I have is out of a '81 K5 Blazer, but it layed outside for years before I got it and water poured out of it, it may not even be worth rebuilding. I think it has the 700R adapter on it. |
Re: 1991 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 Build
I'd be intrested in te 4l80 if he doesn't want it

I took the bed off today. While I have the bed off I'm gonna clean the frame up and paint it. I have another bed for it thats in better shape. Then put on my shackle flip kit. I also put the suburban doors on it and finally finished the headliner trim. I'm debating 4 linking the front and rear and running airbags? Offroad Design has a 4link kit for the front that's designed for coilover shocks but would work fine w airbags. Any thoughts?
