It was a 3 for 1 deal, came with a 78 3/4 ton 2wd Suburban and a 1980 2wd halfton, two of the trucks had 454's. It was $1000 for all three, but I split it with my brother in law, so he paid half to get the two big blocks and the tranny and Tcase out of the crew. I get everything else.

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

hi, new to the board, been lurking for years. great combo mr. pops, have the same set up with 4:56's. with fuel prices now, i just give my wallet to chevron and let my ass hang out. 5-6 mpg, going downhill-ouch!

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

thanks joe231, its my hole in the driveway i throw money into. currently it has 8" springs in the front, with shackle flips, 3" blocks & airbags in the back. extra space with bushwacker cut-outs & front fender trimming. i took the body off & replaced or rebuilt every thing, body & paint are still by mother nature though. the rear has a detroit, & the front has a limited. i put a pro flo fi on it to try help mpg's, but it still is a sucker, so we use it mostly to just haul our camper & quad trailer. it has 38.5x 14.5 swamper sx's, but i throw a set of toyo 38x14.5s on it with the camper for much better handling & weight capacity

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

i drove to my dads place (250 miles each way) to pick up his quads & sleds, cost me just over $400 in fuel, funny thing, mileage was the same loaded as it was empty

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

Sweet crewcab! ^ Looks awesome with the camper on it!

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

thanks mr.pops. it's been a many year project, done outside & in my "monster" shop, (had to take the garage door off, put the stockers on & pull the valve stems) & like any truck, i'll never be done. a couple of pics of cab & front clip back on truck.

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

thank you, alot of awesome crewys in this thread.

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

I have to agree! Great job, I love the stance and seeing the camper in the bed is awesome!

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

hey thanks dieselwrencher, the beauty of airbags, hate that tail dragger look when towing or hauling. i think it's awesome when the camper is on too, means holiday, NO WORK! in fact just itchin to load it, got some time off in 9 days

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

Do you have a custom mounting bracket for the airbags? Or are their airbags made for trucks with a ton of lift like yours?

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

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

airbag spacers, my leafs are only 4" further away from the frame with shackle flips. you can buy them, but i'm a cheapo, made mine out of 5" steel pipe

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

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

That's an awesome truck! I have been tinkering with the idea of putting a flat bed on my K30 for a while. My bed is pretty beat up and I havent found a replacement yet. Might just go ahead and do it. Thanks for the pic.

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

Dieseldawg,that truck is freaking cool!!!!! I just picked up a 84 4x4 crew and trying to decide how much to lift it. You gave me lots of ideas with your posts. Once again,awesome lookin truck,one of the best on here IMO !!!!!

let you in on a secret, it was my wife . used to have a 71 jimmy with a 12" lift & 39;s. all i ever heard was blah, blah, to high, blah, blah, stupidness, etc, so i went 8 this time. now i hear blah, blah, to old for this sh*t, etc, so i caved & let her buy me the sidesteps for xmas. i will admit, the steps save on pass. side door pins.

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

Ya,I know what you mean,got an 86 with 4 and 3 lift,no side steps on 35 s and the wife has a time getting in & out.The 87 is set up the same with tube steps & she's in no problem.Hear ya about the door pins too....So it's 8" suspension,no body lift eh??

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

Looks good. What brand hood is that?

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

Thanks, it was kind of a spur of the moment decision to make it a short box. Hopefully it turns out nice when its done. The hood is a steel cowl from goodmark.
