Took me 19 years to luck up on another K30, that makes me forget selling my 88 K30 Camper Special dually. So worry not, as when the time is right, it might just find you.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

Much thanks for the nice words guys. Stumbled upon a Dana Super 70 on Craigslist. It's out of a 2004 Chevy 3500 van, less than 35000 miles on it.

Has the 410 ratio I'm needing, disk Brees and best of all, it's wide enough to push my rear tires out to match front.

Do you still have drw hubs on the front? Swaping to srw hubs will narrow the front up.

Truck looks great!

Much thanks to the nice words.

DRW front hubs are still on and I'm looking at going SRW to get the track better matched. Also looking at going SRW hubs in rear, along with a rear disk conversion.

That should get me another 4 or so inches of width in the back.

I'm having trouble finding the front hubs, as they aren't many used ones floating around and new ones are a bite in the wallet. The rear hubs are being sourced also. Just a matter of finding someone who has them and wants my cash.

I'm trimming the front fenders this week and planning for a new dual exhaust system and front mount winch as next mods.

The winch will recreate ( Fred Williams ) " Alabama Army Truck " as seen in pages of 4 Wheel & Off Road magazine.

I'm also looking at headers, a hydraulic roller cam assembly for low to midrange torque, a dual plane intake, timing chain and ignition upgrades and a new carb. To provide some upgrades and grunt to the very nice running 7.4.

The truck has just a lil over 35,000 original miles and is as smooth as a year old rig.

Seems I'm always looking 2 to three mods ahead. The first was tires, wheels and suspension. So the results are moving along nicely.

Out of curiosity what didn't impress you with the Cummins swap?
What version of the engine were you using and what did you put it in?

I used a 92 Intercooled VE pump, I put it in a 82 K30 cab and chassis dually.
Had the intercooler hooked up, 47rh trans with a np205.
It was just the nick pick things that got to me, I had it all together and driving.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

I just bought another one, gonna be delivered to me Thursday.

Name:  image.jpg
Views: 2248
Size:  76.4 KB

1991 K3500, 454 TBI, 4L80E, NP205
Fully loaded, power windows/locks, a/c, cruise, dual batteries, 9000# Warn winch. This is my holy grail! I'm super excited!

It's currently very "old man-ish"
I'll take care of that post haste!

Plans are just a clean driver with some subtle updates. There is a very small amount of rust to fix and the passenger fender is caved in.
