Looks like a lot of fun. Are you planning on painting it at all?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I do plan to paint it in the far off future, Rootbeer or a dark red with bass boat flake in it.

Tonight I scored on craigslist, a bed tool box for 25 bucks! Looks like it belongs there!

Looks like a perfect match.

I really like the way you added the newer fuel module to the tank. That'll save me from looking for newer EFI tanks. Does the fuel level sender from the '03 module work with the stock '84 gauge?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

No unfortunately, but you could keep the original sender and put the 03 off to the side.

Today I did an update video, but the video was muffled by the wind so instead all you get is the dirt donuts!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Manged to get an update video done today, and beat on the LS!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I like it. :metal:

Makes me wish I had gone with an LS. Also, wish I had some good wheeling areas like that nearby!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks! I have an Iron LS1 balanced sitting in my garage if you reconsider!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks for the offer! I just got my truck up and running after years of working on it. It's got a 350 TBI crate motor. I'm not ready to start all over just yet!

Seems like when I started my build, an LS in one of these trucks was rare and mysterious. :lol: Now they are the swap of choice! If I was doing it all over again today, I think an LS motor would be the way to go.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I got out and cleaned up my Adopted cove on the Colorado river, ended up with two half filled bags, and some other junk. All in all it was a good clean up. Got some good pics and it wouldn't be an update without video!

Thank you sir!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Where's that weekend update?!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I wish there was one, no K10 work this week :(

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Got a new update video, I had to repair the reverse plunger on the transmission. It has been two weeks without driving it and I was itching for some rev limiter bouncing!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Sounds good! Good repair too.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Gotta say you sure look like your having a good time out there! Love the video updates; I wish more people would do it that way. Love the truck too :) Two thumbs up!! :)

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thank you sir!

Thanks old yelr glad your liking the vids, I appreciate it! If I don't let the LS sing once or twice a month I start having withdraws!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

There's that update! Very nice.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build

Nice! The video is as cool as the truck. :metal:

Makes me wish I had an LS motor in mine. :lol:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks! Here is another Video... Crazy Backfire!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice work! Dig the time lapse. Wednesday is the day. I bet she needs some more fuel to go with all that air.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

So, how did the tune go?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Love it man!, all of it. You got skills

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Ohh yeah it was running nice n lean!

Great! The Doc hooked it up, only costs me a chocolate milk!

Much appreciated!

Small update and tuning with Doc!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Hit some sand today.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Awesome! Love watching those little trees rockin on the rear view :)

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks! Here's more!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Spring bushings this weekend...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

After not taking the truck out for over a month it was time to hit some big dunes and test out the cam and headers. I had a perma-smile all day, in 4-hi 2nd gear it could literally climb anything. People trip out when they see this big ole truck flyin around the dunes.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

She sounds healthy!! Great vid.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks brother, how's that big truck coming along?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Big truck is sitting in a snow bank currently. I've been super busy at work, but I'm hoping it settles down after the new year so much can get some work done. Keep rallying on yours!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Damn dude! No mercy!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice build can't wait to swap my sm465 in behind my 5.3 got the trans and the np205 just slowly getting the little stuff together now
