Re: My Luxurious late model truck (not so much)
All I can say is wow!! Your attention deficit disorder......er, attention to detail is amazing. I'm working a deal on a 97 K2500 ext LB myself. PO has taken care of it, however he's wanting a newer truck. I've been more of a classic vehicle guy. You've taken the difficult to some and made it look easy. Yes this is my first post, but I'm subscribing. Then I can go back and look through part numbers for parts as mine gets fixed up. I'm not gonna go to the lengths you did on yours, but I'm gonna freshen some things up a bit. Kudos to a job well done!!

I guess I don't get what you're saying, but it doesn't sound good.

Did you ever get the other bed installed?

Re: My Luxurious late model truck (not so much)
Man I like this truck. I love the 400 series trucks and a 350 manual 4wd would be on the top of my list. I am starting on my 84 4wd one ton next month. I hope it turns out as nice as this one.

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading Hillbilly Deluxe and this thread. I was 6 months late to the party, but I'm finally down to the last few posts on this one. I never figured to be so engrossed in a '90 farm truck thread, but this really struck a chord! I went out yesterday and took pictures of our farm "fleet" (something else I never thought I would have reason to do). Forgive me for occupying too much real estate in the thread, but I think you can appreciate my affinity for the -400 K2500 NV4500 combo.
I acquired all four originally (used), and they all still live happily together at the farm. The bottom two were ceded over to my Father-in-Law and Bro-in-law (reluctantly) over the years. Those two get hammered daily (the trucks, not the in-laws). The dark grey one I drive every day, but frequently in a more urban environment. The red Ext Cab stays at the farm also, but gets to relax more (it IS 4wd too, but I took the flares off when I recolored the ZY2 tutone bottom, which was pewter. I have new ones in the barn) You know how hard it is to find 5.7 stick 4wd's so when I run across one, I at least have to consider snatching it! John---Dallas |
Re: My Luxurious late model truck (not so much)
Wow, I need to visit this forum more often. Completely missed this till today. Been reading since it was still daylight and it's close to 2am here, made it to page 15 I think. This looks alot like my truck, 91 K2500 RCLB, white/red, lots of repair, changes and upgrades, mostly done with your philosophy, lo buck but done right. Just got it back on the road after sitting for a couple years waiting for me to get the 700r4 changed. Subbing to this, I've always liked the way you do things. I'll read some more tomorrow and try to catch up to now. Great thread so far, Kevin!

Re: My Luxurious late model truck (not so much)
WellI read thru the rest today: Yeah you and I think alot alike, you just have more time and a better place to work. And I'm usually DD'ing what I'm working on:). I'm probably gonna do the headlight mod tomorrow, I've already done the HI-4. My twist on that was to run it thru a lighted toggle by the parking brake release so I have the choice of just low, just hi, or both on HI. On your wiring, did you run the 12g out of the relays and just splice back into the stock plug close to the headlight, or did you somehow run the 12g all the way and do away with the stock 16g altogether, and if so, how?

Re: My Luxurious late model truck (not so much)
Hello Kevin, how is this truck doing for you? Now that you've had it on the road for a little bit I wanted to ask you about those 255 BfGs. I am very near needing to purchase tires for my flatbed and I want this size if I can justify it. How many miles do you have on them thus far? How are they wearing? How are their road manners/off road manners? Thank you for any info that you can share about them.
