subscribing.....interesting thread!

Lonnies Performance · 10-25-2011, 09:55 PM

Unfortunately, no more progress.

Too many irons in the fire at the moment to make any meaningful progress.

(541)COLD_beer · 10-25-2011, 10:28 PM

Ya I know what you mean... so I saw you had the transfer case with the driver side drop. Im guessing your going to run a different front axle?

Your41Plague12 · 12-06-2011, 03:22 PM

Hey, where in Pittsburgh are you from? Cool build from another chevy guy from the burgh! You're doing an awesome job, I wish mine was half as clean as yours is turning out to be.

yousesteers · 12-06-2011, 09:16 PM

I thought about a Duramax before settling on the cummins I did not want the electronics and the emissions that are on the newer trucks

dstonewyo · 06-15-2012, 11:08 AM

Any progress on the duramax swap?

Devillusion · 06-17-2012, 01:45 AM

Any new progress

biggsteve97 · 07-01-2013, 06:16 PM

bump. Any progress? Awesome truck. I know exactly how life can get away from you. I have an 85 K5 Blazer with a 396 bbc I have been slowly rebuilding for the last 5 years and I am just know to the point of swapping in the axles that I have had for 6 years. I have started the wiring and that has turned into a nightmare. I have two harness and they are both corroded and pretty much unusable. I have run out of money yet again so not sure what to do about the wiring now. Your dash has me very intrigued. I had thought about a complete dash swap in my K5 to use a 95 or 96 dash.

vegadesign · 07-01-2013, 06:24 PM

subscribed, i love this build.

all i saw was duramax diesel and was drooling.
im working towards doing a diesel swap in my 84 k5 so no i have some more motivation towards that lol

Truck Guy99 · 05-02-2014, 02:23 AM

What happened to this build?

chevyfox · 12-21-2014, 09:52 PM

What kind of tires are those

suxtobu65 · 01-06-2015, 07:52 PM

Update?

NastyBuzzard · 05-12-2015, 01:06 PM

I am subscribing to these incase he comes back. I am trying my hardest to replicate that instrument cluster b/c I have put the steering column from the 01 donor into my 87 as well as the instrument cluster but so far I don't have a way to make it look pretty like his.
