Can you tell me what size tires are on the brown K30 please? I'm doing some research on what my next tire purchase is going to be. Thanks!

Thank you, it took me along time to save and gather parts. After that it took about a year and a half to get restored. I just yanked the motor out now its time for a little more snort. Let me know if you need any help with your build. Love these old trucks

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

I might as well get in on this. Here is my 86 GMC 3/4 ton. 6 inch lift with 35 inch tires wrapped on 20's. Built 350 with a big block chop, 4 speed manual. Yes, this thing sees a lot of mud even though it's pretty.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Nice 'fleet' you have, I would be proud.
You'll never see a group of clean trucks like that in one place around here!
No rust in Utah?
I have been itching to do a 6.0l swap in something for a while, they are plentiful and affordable now that they have been out for a while, and you can put them in almost anything.

There is actually a LOT of rust in Utah. They salt the roads like crazy. I just had some rust repair done on the 85.
It took me about 5 years total for me to find all these trucks.
I got the 84 for $4200 in 2008, the 86 for $4600 in 2009, and the 85 for $1800 in 2011. Since then, prices on these trucks are skyrocketing in my area. Rust buckets are going for upwards of $6K, it's bull-crap. I got offered $10k for my 86, but just couldn't do it

I chose the 5.3l swap because of the cheap price. I have a budget of $2500 on the swap. I haven't got my swap running yet (cold weather), But I'm hoping it will pay off as a dependable daily driver!

Thank you for the compliments.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

The 5.3l have been proven to be a big bang for the buck with power and fuel economy and there is tons of performance add on's for them.
It will make a good driver I'm sure. Have fun.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Yeah I'd say so! lol I was going to do the same thing with my K30 cab & chassis only with a D70HD rear and flares but have since changed directions. I think it would look better with Dually fenders and 4x4.

Here's some pictures I stretched on paint:

If you're talking about the pictures I posted then no, those were just pictures of regular long beds I did that to.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Gotcha, you know a C&C has a narrower rear end than a regular dually, right? Enough on that I don't want to clutter this thread.
