Very nice!

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

Here is my "new to me" Crew, I am deployed and saw this on craigslist in alaska and had my wife go get it for me! It has the 6.2L diesel that was just rebuilt. I cannot wait to get home to get started on her, she is a beauty and i practically stole this truck.

I have been scouring this site here the last few days getting ideas for my new project. Please give me your opinions. The running boards and camper are coming off first and then probably a 2.5 inch lift and just gonna put some 265/75's on it, not going too extreme on this one cause i want it set up to pull a 5th wheel camper. Will be posting more pics as priject progresses.

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

Once again,
:cong:

I'm running 285/75/16's on my crew with no lift

Would like to see a pic of how it looks if you got one handy

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

Here is my stocker dually with 235/85/16's. I opted for the skinny because of all the snow travel. Wide tires look cooler but if you want to cut the snow and ice the skinnies can't be beat. I see an Alaska post so that may be a thought. Suspension is fully stock here is how it sits.

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

Beautiful truck man - perfect!!!

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

Nice truck Bifman! :metal: Well, since i havent even seen the truck in person yet (May 15th!!!!) since i am deployed, i am thinking of just putting on the 265's, then deciding on the lift. but i may just keep it stock from what i am seeing here. That'll save about $800 on a suspension lift, so that is what i am hoping for. Thanks for the pics and suggestions.

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

Sure do :D

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

Thanks for the pics joe321, i really like how urs sits. Think that is probably what i will go with, some stock white steelies and stock hubs with some 285's, and you have no lift on urs? Looks good.

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

No problem
I don't think it has any lift.
The front springs, I believe, have 4 leafs.
I dunno if the 1 tons with the 6.2 have heavier spring or not.
I'll get a pic of my front springs tomorrow in the daylight.
I'll also measure from the center of the hub to the fender lip.

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

The guy i bought it off of said it had the tow package, i dont know if that means it has heavier springs, but would make sense to me that it would have the more heavy duty suspension system. thanks for all the good pics.

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

Whats up cvarboncrew! I work at cortessa and have seen your rig in your driveway. Looks awesome and I am also putting a 3x3 together up the road at my home at sierra montana on Waddell and 303....

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

Hey Donkeypunch...Come on by and check it out (heck, you can help with my 'to do' list - JK) You live right next door as far as Waddell goes. At least I'll know where to look for parts if I need them!

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

Hey joe231, do those tires rub at all? and what kinda gas mileage are you getting on yours, its a 6.2l diesel right? was there a difference in gas mileage switching to the 285s. I appreciate all the help.

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

No rubbing at all.
I put these wheels and tires on shortly after I got the truck.
It had 235/85/16's on it which are close to the same height as the 285/75/16's (the 285's are only an inch taller overall)
Yeah it's a 6.2 with 4L80E overdrive trans.
I haven't checked mileage (my trip odometer doesn't work), I'd guess upper teens-lower 20's.

I'll go take pics of my springs now...

It does have 4 leafs.
My K20 Burb only has 2 leafs.
As you can see there is lots of room in the front fender.
The tire isn't totally straight in that picture...

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

i really appreciate it. u wouldnt happen to know of a company that sells some of the 3+3 emblems? there is none on my truck!

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

Sorry I don't know.
Hilltop salvage out here used to have quite a few squares.
I haven't been out there since I moved back though. As soon as the snow melts I'm gonna go check it out.

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

those wheels and tires are the perfect size and really make it look tuff. making me wanna get some aftermarket rims now, hmmmmmmmmmmm....
Did the steering stabilizer come stock on it?

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

Lol
I do what I can :)

One stabilizer is factory, one is an aftermarket add on.

Joe231, I would say your right about not having any lift. Those springs still have negative arch.

Jpalmer81, I didn't realize you are deployed I'll get pics of those emblems. I'll send them no cost to you if you want them. Thanks for your service !!

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

Thanks yjheep! I would like to see the pics of them, i have contacted Billet Badges trying to get a price for some new ones, but havent got a response from them yet!! I guess they are super busy, at least i am hoping or other wise it would tick me off they havent responed to me yet!

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

It's raining out this morning but I'll try and catch a dry spell for the pics. It looks like the inside of the 3's was collor matched with the paint, but it's almost all wore off, I think it would come off with some solvent.

I always try to help out the troops when I can.... I was deployed to Helmand province in afganistan 2009-2010. We exchanged small arms and took rockets nearly daily. My government repaid me by denying me, my combat medals and then diagnosed me with PTSD and gave me and administrative separation. Because I was no longer usefull to them in a combat situation (from the PTSD) At the least it should have been medical or honorable Discharge.

I make it my personal mission to try and make up our governments short coming any time I can
