Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Got the trans in last weekend. Spent last week tying up loose ends. Drove it back to southern CO to go rock crawling in my buddy's crawler. Very similar cage to the ORD K30 convertible, but this one is on ORD leafs but does have a SM465 and an ORD 203/205 doubler. It works really good.

Nice! Where were you guys playing at?

We were at the Independence trail system outside of Penrose Colorado.

It's no joke either. Even the "easy" trail is harder than anything else I've gone down.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

It seems you've been around these trucks a while.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Wouldn’t it be nice to have all the trucks back that we previously owned!! I know I’d have to buy a larger piece of land to put them on 😂

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Yep. And same here on needing more land. I never have had enough land for my trucks. I used to have them all over the place at friends', family's and my folks' places.

One I had a while in the '90s. Rustfree California truck. The previous owner said he did the primer because the paint was shot. I got it off with lacquer thinner, re-painted it, Tangiers Orange. 350/4spd, a/c, tach, No-Spin. Mirrors sucked. I put DG4 stainless on

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Lol I’m pretty sure I remember dad buying a 465/205 from Jeff when I was a kid. That was probably mid ‘90s after dad sold his ‘71. That’s a true story. Fast foreword close to 20 years and my brother was buying stuff from him for his 72 K20, which my dad now owns… it all goes full circle eventually:lol: I wish I could get dads ‘71 K10 back.

Jeff the current trucks are looking bad ass! I’ve got plane tickets bought for the middle of August and I’m likely going to be staying at my moms house in Kearneysville. I’ll make it a point to come by!

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I’ve heard about the trails around penrose. A couple guys I work with go up there in modded CJ’s. Looks like a lot of fun.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Tyler yes please stop by when you get into town and thanks for the kind words and I do remember selling parts to your dad and brother as well!!

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

It's rowdy. Honestly, I don't think anything on less than a 38" tire can get out of that canyon without a winch. It's not for folks that like sheet metal. I could see a CJ getting banged up if the wrong line choice is made.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Tyler,
I just saw this thread
I’m rarely in the 4x4 section
I guess I’ll have to start hanging out here ;)

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Love that truck!

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Well hell Eric, don’t be a stranger! You already know how much I love that truck we’d love to see some more of it-and you others!
I think Mr. Rogers’ truck would fit in nice around here!

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Mister Rogers truck

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Here is a pic of my 3 K trucks and a pic of my Cheyenne Super K20 long step project. It is on hold while I search for better bed pieces for it.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I was changing lights in the shop and I liked this angle

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Eric, that is a special truck for so many reasons. I am glad you go ahold of it to bring it back to life the way it truly deserved.

Ryan, I’m pretty sure the orange truck would die if it didn’t have a trailer behind it. Every picture I see of it, has it working it’s ass off! Good to see these things doing what they were intended to do.

Orange71shorty, looking great! That’s an awesome angle.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Love your truck.. I'm gonna knock on your door sometime to look at it:metal:

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

You’re welcome anytime! Thanks for the compliment

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

My 70 K5 out and and about and a shot of it with my neighbor's newly purchased 91 K5.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Thought this was a good picture

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I agree that is an excellent picture. One day I hope to take my K20 up thru Shenandoah National park.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Here's one I took when working in the yard with the wife

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Good pictures. Talk about random... Hitched pics

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

One pic of the '70 earning her keep. The other was taken after a stint in the service bay. Disc brakes are nice :bo2:

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Great pictures. I really like your truck. Everything about it

Had to make the pilgrimage back to the Garage of it's birth to get some upgrades done.
Camped in the truck for the first time this year in his driveway.

By the time we finished we put in new front springs, new steering gear, welded in frame plate at the steering gear, fresh rear shocks and ORD brackets, fresh OEM fender and repair to the cowl.

It's amazing how much better it drives.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I bet it's a greater pleasure to drive now. Sure makes a great photo.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Not mine! But I took these pic's today at a local show.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Ooooh that'sh niesche

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Nice day today

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Looking awesome Pete, as usual!

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Saturday ride

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Beautiful truck. Nothing better than a ride on some single track. I'm guessing that's what you ride based on the bike. We have a great trail network here in MI and I really need to get back to riding more than I have the last couple years.

Wife and I are preparing for a home reno so in preparation of that I've had to move some stuff. Stumbled upon an external hard drive I dumped all of my electronic pics on back around 2009 and found some pics I knew were somewhere but had forgotten where. This K20 was a '77 I purchased around 2005. 400 sbc, th350, NP203. I used this truck as my tow rig for the '72 K5 in my avatar to go to the dunes for about 3 years. '72 had no top and it was raining so we took the tow rig to the dunes. I sold it around 2010 if I remember right. Kept the tires and rims though...still have them connected to some 3/4 ton axles taking up space for the last 10 years. Thought about using the rims on my '17 2500 Silverado. They came off of a '99 2500 Suburban I had in the early 2000's. Gotta find a pic of that now...

Finished my new onboard air system installation.

Works way better than the old Smittybilt compressor I had. It took 3 minutes or less to fill the 3gal tank on board and charge it to the 150psi shut off point. The old smitty never hit the 125 psi cut off point on the switch I used.

Got a couple of small projects to knock out this weekend and a week to load out before Desert trip 2022.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Nice fit. Truck is getting better all the time
