Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Starting on a new parts search for this K5. Wanting to purchase a new windshield. Problem is I can find many online, but the shipping is killer. Mine is pretty cracked up, and I want to replace it when the bodywork is completed. Anybody done this ? Any advice or tips ? This part of my project is a way off, but I like to have this stuff on hand when it's ready to ripp into it!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
They are usually available locally. Call around.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Glass shops? I want to go new, and not a used one. I think I will check with my local body shop and see what they can do for me.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Yes, glass shops.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Of course, I'm just down from Denver. Probably are a ways from the warehouse if you're in the tullies...
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Thank's for the tip Tony. Gonna look into this soon. Many glass shops within reach of my area.

Too much snow and cold here to work in the pole barn. Playing with some old pic's of my custom front bumper build. Pic's of the bumper I ordered, the bumper as I recieved it, and how it turned out when John at CHAOS off road was finished with it. Very happy with the way it looks! Start on the rear custom fab for the rear bumper come spring!Attachment 1221833

Sun came out here and inspired me to get outside. Got some pic's of my young g-shepard begging me to go out and move some snow. Went out and installed my new transfer case skidplate I got recently from board member 72ironmike. It worked out perfectly, and I really like it better than the stock skidplate with the extra crossmember--YAAA!Attachment 1221964

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Looks like the winds of change are a blowing again. Stopped by the CHAOS shop today, and it may be the end. John was unloading the bus from the trailer, say's he is parting it out. Selling it off, possibly closing the shop for good. Looks like I need to find a new shop to help with the next step of stage 4! I do have a nice custom shop just 9 doors up the road, and am gonna check out what they can do for me. I think they can hook me up with the final welding and bodywork but i'm afraid it will cost me dearly.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
OUCH! The Blazer fund is taking a big hit. Need to upgrade No. 1 daughters ride, so am going to hand me down wife's 2003 GMC Envoy. She's been driving my old 2001 S10 crewcab, but it's time to move on. Wife's picking up a 2011 Buick Enclave AWD with 79,000 miles in mint condition. Like I said, OUCH! Got some good news yesterday though, talked to my truck builder friend John about the shop's status. He's going back to work for a road construction company soon, and will keep the shop after all. Planning on using whats left of the monster bus for a new monster truck with a fiberglass body! Sounds good for me to continue stage 4 of my build at CHAOS OFFROAD!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Been kinda bored here, but just ordered up a new diff cover for the Dana60 front axle. Ballistic fabrication cover to match my ballistic high steer arms and crossover setup. Come on spring!!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got the new diff cover today from Ballistic Fab, too cool! Heavy duty. Just got to clean it up and paint it. I will get one to match for the 14 bolt rear when funds are available! No problem with Ballistic fabs customer service or shipping this time around, all good.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Very boring thread. Just sitting saving funds. Sorry!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Did the search a while back, What carburetor to run? Decided on the Quadrajet. Been running one for years, but the one on my 350 motor now is like 2 carbs made into one. Really did not want to rebuild that one. Picked up one recently from a board member in great shape in 1970 vintage-AWESOME! Ordered up parts for it to rebuild it, and they came in today. #1Rebuild kit-#2New carb float-#3 Idle pickup tubes-#4 Secondary metering well plugs. Just need to get it rebuilt and put it on. Will get some pic's asap.
