Picked this little baby up this morning. 29 Degrees & popped right off & runs perfect! Shows 1900 miles on the odo meter! Not a dent or any rust!
But don't think Bubba aint been here- the whole truck is sprayed with some kinda Gray Trunk Spatter Paint!
Oh well that's what they make 80 grit for!

Looks sweet. I've had 3 of these (still have one) and feel they are great rigs. Are you going to go green or desert tan?

[andyh1956]

Oh Green all the way!
I spent four yrs in Afghanistan, I've seen enough Tan to last several lifetimes!

Congrats, looks good! I've got one I bought back in 2010, they're fun toys to have. Looks like yours came with a 3 or 4" lift.

Yeah but it's commin off. I have some stock springs & even a pair w/ an add a leaf. Then I gotta really nice set of Rallyes & BFG All Terrains I been savin.
I really bought this truck to cut the top off of & weld a pickup roof to. I got a really nice '88 K5 up in the barn all re done, engine, trans, 4" lift w/ 33s. Aint been started in 10 yrs now.

I'm on the look out for a receiver hitch. Does the K5 take the same hitch as the C10s & the K10s? That tank sure hangs down low...

[68Timber]

I put a Reese on mine, it was listed as for a K5 but I'm almost positive it's the same for trucks and burbs. It hangs down as low as the tank skid plate, maybe a little lower, but it's completely behind the tank.

Nice find, I'd have to have A/C put in for South Louisiana.

Also thank you for your service Andy.

Oh I wasn't Military, I was a Field Support Rep for Navistar Defense for the MaxxPro line of MRAPs. I helped the Army kids learn to operate their MRAPs, helped repair them, installed the L-Rod & Volleyball net armor systems, hid under them while under attack...
