Theres a 2wd crewcab that color running around here near me. its bone stock down to the white rims and hubcaps, except it has a cowl hood.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

that is one good looking truck, think you can show some interior shots?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Thank you!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Thank you!


I would love to get my hands on that 2wd..Would be the best of both world's...


Thanks, this is the best I can do for interior shots right now. The center console is just sitting there as I plan on building a custom one that fits my needs. No carpet yet just some sound deading material..I had to lower the seats about 4 and a half inches..

Nice truck. How did you lower the seats?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

The driver's side is power so the mounting brackets where very tall so I just cut out desired amount and rewelded them. Only tricky part was I had one mounting point drop down because the floor as we all know is not flat. On the passenger side the seat has two sliding mechanisms one slides the whole seat up and out of the way for passenger entrance to the back and the other is the front back adjustment. I simply drilled the rivets out and took out the whole sliding mechanism for the passenger entrance to the back one and then cut the feet off the front back one and rewelded in there desired location..All in all it was very simply just a little time consuming and a lot of measurements..

hey guys , I'm stuck on what transfercase to swap into my 90 crew. I have a 90 cummins with a 47rh transmission. what have you guys used for this swap?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

dodge 241, from a 89-93 will bolt to the trans, and have pass drop, as well as fixed yoke. thats what I ran in my crewcab when it was auto, before I went to the stickshift.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Went to Tampa Fl and picked up this bed and 2 bench seats. Going to run this bed til dad gets around to stretching the fenders on my original bed.

Ready to roll out to a car show next weekend-

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

You mean NP205? Dodge didn't go to the 241's until 94, and they are LH drop.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Leedog, your truck looks cool! Man those tires look like wide bicycle tires on those wheels!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

nope, they had 241's in at least the 92-93's, if not all the way from 89, in the gas 4x4's. the cummins got the 205's. but since hes running an auto, its got the same 23 spline as the gas engines. the 94 up are drivers drop, and the 89-93 are pass drop. I still have mine sitting somewhere in the shop if you want a pic of it. :D






and some current pics of my crewcab!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Ok, you're right, in the gassers they did. Your truck is looking good! I like that much better!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Thanks, its SLOWLY getting back together. I miss driving it real bad, but its getting alot of new stuff, and things fixed better so its going to be much better this time around.

Just when I thought I was 100% sure I was going to go back to a dually on my crew cab and you post pictures of this. That is a BA truck puppy. I'm with joe lift/tire specs please! Maybe a truck like that as a dually with thr same black and white theme would be cool too..

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Thanks man! they are 265/35's "extra Load". you can run up to 150PSI in those tires, crazy. i run 50. The inners are E Load 16's. Should be able to haul anything i want. Got the stuff for a 6/8 drop, just waiting on Dad to get time at the shop to fool with my bed. Next year- it is gonna get air ride.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Puppy- Truck looks awesom! Especially like the pic from the front. intimidating ride. The Bumpers with the fairleads are cool.:ito:

GMC5.9cummins- Truck is just full of bad ass.:metal: Why the light bar? wrecker?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Nice! Grip Spurs on it? Have any pics of your traction bar setup?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

damn! that's nice.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

looks to me like 6" inch lift and 36" goodyear military tires

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

it has a 6 suspension 2'' body lift tuesday it will have 245/75/24.5 i tow A 30 foot gooseneck haulin tractors for the farm i work at and backing into fields stupid out of town summer people try to cut around you so the light bar helps

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

this is the truck when i first got it

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Just need a 10 lug 22.5 conversion to finish it off!:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

i have 10 lug adapters on the way i have 24.5 for it

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I have some pictures of it when it had a normal bed on it. I thought it still had the electric rear window in the back. that goes into the tailgate.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I agree. It would be so much easier to use a c-70 or gmc 7000 and put on suburban/Blazer body rear and Bed on back.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

That'll look sweet

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Just got my crew back up an running again with a fresh transmission rebuild. Had it's first day of light duty hauling a bit of hay this evening.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

My latest addition! :)

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Hello All
New to the board and thought I would post a few pics of my 1982 K30. I have had 4 or 5 square bodied Chevys but this one is by far my favorite so far. My Wife, kids and I made a 2400 mile round trip from Colorado to Washington state to pick up this beast. The price was right. Originally I was just looking for a good solid work/ hunting truck to beat around in with my boy but now we have decided to do a full restoration/ build on this. Right now it has a rebuilt 350/rebuilt th350/np205. New drive lines and rebuilt rear end with a new grizzly locker. I have already junked the original Qjet and cast intake for an Edelbrock intake and carb and a set of Edelbrock chrome valve covers and air cleaner. Made a huge difference in how it runs but it still needs more power.
My build plans include
Full repaint and new cloth interior
2.5" Procomp lift kit
swap in a 454 and 700r4 trans

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Welcome and great looking crew! Mine has the 350 also and was a little anemic too. I stuck a 177 weiand blower on top, now it runs better than any big block crew I ever had. Picked up 1 mpg too!

P.S. More pics please (interior,etc.)

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

good lookin truck you got right there...:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Thanks guys. I will try to get some more pics soon.
