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

Look, its a full size spare! LOL Man I hate those things, I don't know why. They just irk me, everytime I see one I want to run up and kick it over. I had one try to race my Denali once, I never needed more than 1/4 throttle to stay ahead. Saw a Consumer Reports thing that said they have the slowest acceleration they've ever tested, something like 14 seconds 0-60. And they aren't that great on gas, when compared to a Corolla or Malibu that seats 4-5 people and gets almost as much mileage.

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

I'll have to agree with you as far as taste goes. As far as the mileage goes, there's probably a difference between the gas and diesel versions. Back when they first came out, me and a buddy rented a diesel one for fun and put about 250 miles on it in 24 hours. I kept track of the mileage and the thing got 68 mpg driving the crap out of it.

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

I didn't know they made a diesel version. I don't think we get that one here. I looked at them over 2 years ago and there was a 12+ month wait. As for the gas ones, yea their actual mpg isn't near as good as they claim. There are claims (I don't know for sure because I don't own one) our there that say they only average 36 in mix driving. The MPG ave that is listed on the car is based off the Euro cars. Hell I get 28-30 (depending on my foot) in mixed driving in my Rio and I can put 5 people in it. Don't get me wrong, for a person that lives downtown the Smart is a smart choice, but if you live in the burbs it's a waist of money.

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

can anyone give any info on the red dually in this set of pics it does not look like a 4x4 or am i wrong ??? if not how did he get it that high for the wheels ??? although it could have something to do with the large "C" on the finder :haha:

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

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

Thats a cool rig right there :metal:

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

I would guess it's had a big rig suspension conversion done.

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

Heres a couple pics of my crew cab I am getting excited it is getting pretty close to being done : )

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

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

Its a K30 3+3. It is 4wd(Hence the K). Has 22.5 Alcoa wheels with semi tires. a 6" lift. A Cummins conversion with dual 6" mitre cut stacks. Needs more?

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

Love this site. Here's a pic of my 84 Banks Turbo Diesel w. a Gear Vendors OD/UD on the TH400.

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

WOW .... CUCV2 that truck is in way above condition for a Vt. truck .... nice power/trans adder. That must be a pleasure to drive on the highway.

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

As long promised,here's my $1200 driver/future RV tow rig. 454, TH400, NP205 it has gooseneck in the bed with a 6 prong hookup, I'm gonna up it to a 7 prong. The 454 has an Edelbrock 750 and Performer intake, I live at 8,500 ft so I'm thinking about going to a 600 carb, maybe a holley. Already replaced the seat with a stock bench, looks much better. The longer I have it the more I love her, she's put my old '66 on the backburner for awhile since I can justify this one as a family investment since I can use it to haul all 3 kids and a camper and the '66 is just a standard cab C10.

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

We drove the truck out from AZ last Summer. Needed a break from working on rusty trucks. The only changes I have done to it are new BFG AT tires that are one size up from the ones in the pic. We got 17 mpg on the AZ to VT trip. It does ride nice for what it is.

Future plans are to make it a SRW truck and put a short box on it with some H2 rims and tires.

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

Could you post some pics of the gear vendors and how it is mounted? I'm assuming you've got the figure 8 pattern np205?

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

whats the drop on this truck

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

Finally a truck that looks like something I'd drive! We're on the same page I think, I got mine so I could tow the camper with all three kids, instead of taking two vehicles since my other 1 ton doesn't have the room. Also because I wanted that bodystyle. Mines an 82, but I'm changing the ugly nose to an 87, the 85-87 is by far the prettiest grille. I paid $1350 for mine, so far I've spent less than $2000 total and it's almost ready for paint. Put a used bed and 4 doors on it, , lift and tires, new flexplate and battery. 28k on the motor, purrs like a kitten, quietest 454 I've ever heard. I might do the Performer cam/intake/carb combo, I've had great luck with Edelbrock carbs. I personally won't use a Holley for anything but a doorstop.
I bought a 4 inch suspension lift and 235/85 tires, because with no lift and 215/85s it looks like a lowrider. I love how your truck sits, can you tell me what lift and tire size you have? I'd be very happy to get mine at that same stance. (havent got the lift or tires on yet)
Also, I'm hoping to pick up a 65 c10 very shortly!

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

Cool find GMT. I'd buy it just for the accessories that are on it.

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

DetroitDan:
I honestly don't know the lift on the truck since it came to me that way, my 454 runs like crap and has no power for running hills. I've looked into rebuilding it but for the same cost I think I can do a 8.1 swap which would work better with the altitude anyway. Thanks for the complements, I love my redneck ride, it's gonna get a rustoleum white paintjob at the end of the summer.

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

yeap has alot of the wood stuff i want the visor docktail spoiler, and alot of other nice stuff its just too cheap to pass up

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

I'm doing the rustoleum paintjob on my 97 k3500 right now, in black. When that's done I'm going to do the 82, but I can't make up my mind. I should do it black because it was mostly black already, so all four door jambs are black, but I really want to do it either yellow with white roof and side stripe, or red with off-white roof and stripe.

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

when I purchased it. It was notched and 4 linked and that was about it. oh yeah and was a squirrels nest since it had no back window for a year. had to gut the interior that was left.did the whole build to where it is in 3 weeks. it wasn't suppose to be salmon (pink lol ) it was going to be a flat orange but didn't happen.

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

Not mine, obviously. Posted on duallyscene by okcderek, but everybody needs to see this truck.
