My turn to say hello

Hey, I found this site and I am in love with it. Figured since ive read almost all the threads, I would finally introduce myself.

I have an 88k5/v10 with a 5" lift 33's(until they wear down so i can get 35's), stock axles(D60 and 14bolt waiting at my friends farm in Ky), Np208(205 at afore mentioned farm as well). I bought it back in March of this year and did some basic maintenance on it, and a little bit of off-roading, nothing big yet. Until I get pics of that, here are some of the truck:





In addition, I just bought a 78 dodge powerwagon for a grand last night:







My plans are to drive it for a while as the 'work truck' for now while i do some basic maintenance on the K5 and perhaps swap out the new axles and tcase. By Early nexst spring, I want to drop in the early cummins 12v Turbodiesel in the Dodge I have laying around, and make some mad power and shoot some nice smoke. For now, it has a 6" lift and 35's on it and the beautiful beefy axles and a 360 under the hood. Only thing it needs is the intake manny gasket, which i already have at my apt and will be going on saturday morning. What do u guys think?

Hopefully I will be answering questions getting to know you guys instead of just asking questions sooner rather than later.

-Greg

edit: Fixed the pics

Can't see the K5, but the Dodge pics show up. Sounds like a cool project, though.

Welcome to the board. Looks like a nice collection you have started. From all I have heard those old Dodge power wagons are tough old trucks.Definitely looks like you got a decent deal on it for a grand.
