looking for a new rig

[MrSchaeferPants]

Well I ended up with a K5, my buddies/roomates CUCV he gave up on, and that I did most of the work anyway. Part of the reason was the wife and I were tired of it being in the driveway, sitting there.

The 6.2 was bad when my buddy got it, so him and I put his 350 from his old 77 Jimmy in it.

Got it for $800, parts truck for $600, done a lot to it in the last couple weeks. New exhaust all the way down, headers to duals, off-brand flowmasters. Been driving for a good week now 33s from the parts rig (that camo 86 K5 in the background). Got the fan, shroud, radiator & mounts, driver's windows, door locks, and some other misc stuff off the rig, window antenna line to stereo. Had a nearly new 1406 Edlbrock and spacers I sold for $160, Def got my money back already, and I can sell/scrap the rest for a few more bucks.

I can still haul kids around, wouldn't road trip in it though. And for the ATV, I'll prolly get a small trailer, I'll still try to see if I can fit one in the back, at least when the tops off.

So 350/TH400/33s, not a bad start.



And the wife got a nice clean 93 Silverado 2500 ext cab 8' bed. So we still have something to tow and haul with. Worked out great, just not as planned lol
