project draggin k5
 

well i went all the way to colorado to get this 78 chevy k5, it was originally 4x4 and converted to 2wd the crossmember has been Zed 3 1/2 inches and has belltech drop shackles and flip kit, original paint, and all the interior is still there, oh it only has 61k original miles, i am the second owner, have all the original windows stickers and glove box sticker, also the owners manual. today i rolled it into the shop took off the front clip to plate the rest of the frame, well i didnt get to plating but i did swap out the original 10 bolt rear for my 12 bolt out of another truck i own, i also took the flip kit out, only so i can mock up my motor and not worry about bangin the ground. im taking it to my friend joe at outlaw motorsports for a four link rear bag setup soon anyway. i will update with pics tomorrow, let me know what you think, thanks

did that used to belong to a board member "mile high toyz"??? I think he had one just like that.
anyway looks cool

Re: project draggin k5
 

I agree that has got to be milehightoyz old blaze, he was building it the same time i was doing my 88' k-5 4wd to 2wd conversion.

Re: project draggin k5
 

Ditto..i was going to say it looked familiar from this web site.

Interesting on the frame hack though. With some more gusseting it looks to be a very feasable way to go.

Re: project draggin k5
 

not sure if it was his or not, but i did get it from parker, colorado. i will be plating the rest of the frame this weekend so i canget my motor in it, im tryin to atleast have it running to go to heat wave in austin.

Re: project draggin k5
 

umm i think u might want to redo that z because it looks a little scary to me

Re: project draggin k5
 

elaborate please...

Re: project draggin k5
 

he just said that he had to finish plating it....theres not too many different ways to Z it its a pretty simple process really. So what is there to Redo??

Re: project draggin k5
 

i meant plate the inside of it because all the z frt clips ive seen were all plated inside

Re: project draggin k5
 

got some plating done, about to drop the motor in to see what (if any) mods need to be done to the fire wall.

Re: project draggin k5
 

Hope you took some pics of the finished plating job before you dropped that motor in....lol. Kinda curious thats all.

Re: project draggin k5

Re: project draggin k5
 

What a drop! I've never seen anyone do that before. Just curious to see how it goes into dips and speed bumps. Are you going to bag it as well?

Re: project draggin k5

Re: project draggin k5
