My GMC

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I like the Suburban. Ever think about getting a sign shop to make you a fire logo? something whimsical like "Fire Dog".

Yours is like mine being a single headlight with the side/bumper trim and no roof rack

Here's my K5

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

That's nice , I always wanted one of them but you just don't find them in my part of the world and if I did the price would be out of my range

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Thanks Tim. Should I leave the stripes or peel them off?

I was thinking add in a tastefully done mock fire badge/logo/shield. My stripes and such were pulled. You can see where everything was including Cobb County Sheriff on the sides, and Sheriff on the tailgate.

The heavy lifting is mostly done for the truck. Refining things now for sure. Looking for a Warn 8274 winch for nothing more than a project to cleanup and refurbish and have the old-school look. I plan on ordering one of the winch bumpers from Engineered Vintage when they come out to complete the look. They look like a better version of the old Warn winch bumper in a box they used to sell. Most likely way stronger too. I do have some Bushwacker cutout flares inbound to address my issue with the tires and the fenders fighting for the same space off road. I will not lift it any higher to gain clearance so cutting is the way to go. The flares will work to make the cuts clean and covered up.

The rear bumper will get a new can rack on a swing-out like the tire carrier. Then providing I've cleared room in the garage I can get into the improvements to the camper. It's really in need of the canvas to be replaced and I really need to reskin the exterior. The beer-can thick exterior has had holes poked in it from rowdy trees when off-road.

Not sure what I'm going to use but it will be much more resiliant that what was originally installed.

Other than that the plan is to use it a LOT this summer. I leave for the desert trip with Larry Sunday. A week off road in nowhere Utah. Back to work for a week and then a weekend gig with my sister and her husband in Winter Park to help them with an arts/craft show. Probably a couple of mountain runs in later July/August and then back to Utah in September for Blazer Bash in Moab.

I know some guys love the build process, and I do too. But I like using it a whole lot more.

'71 Blazer in '82

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I just grabbed this back from Photobucket. I hope it stays. This was in '07 on VA55 near the northern tip of Massanutten Mountain. Haulin' parts. Miss that truck

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Very nice

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

First is after I got back from moving snow at the farm from a late spring storm. Rest are pictures of the progress of my shop I’m building the 71 happens to be in.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Is the truck 3 tone? Looks blue dark blue and gray rockers . I’m trying to come up with something for my 85 .

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Thank you sir.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Took some pictures on the job I'm doing now. An old farm house with a long long lane. It's the old Osborne Farm and the lane is now public (Osborne Rd) that is paved but still one lane. Another interesting thing is the railroad runs right along the road at the end of the lane. So you drop through a cut to the road/rr grade and stop at the tracks. Can't see a train coming till you are right at the stop sign at the track. There have been a few car/train connections made there. It's a cool area of old bypassed road that shows how important the trains were at first, before the automobile, when towns and homes popped up along the tracks. There are four RR crossing through this area because the tracks and the road share the same basic path

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Some random pics from our latest run to Moab for Blazer Bash and running the White Rim trail. Things got a little nutty.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Nice! Love the war shots. That SAS’D S10 in the background looks awesome! I’d love to have one of them one day.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

That's actually a K1500 full size. It's pretty bad ass.

The last pic was taken after we recovered the Blazer from almost flopping on the right side when the edge of the trail gave way under us. My lev-o-gauge on the dash I use to level out for setting up the camper pegged out at 45 degrees and settled back to only 30 degrees. Thank goodness for my buddy Bill in the Power Wagon being with us. He winched the truck to safety and continued on the rest of White Rim. Between myself, my son and Bill we were a little pre-occupied to take pics before or during the extraction.

That was the easy stuff too..

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

Now that I seen it on my laptop I can see it’s an earlier GMT 400. From my phone it looked like a late second Gen S10. Still a bad looking truck either way. Looks like a great time.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I subscribed to P-bucket and stole some of my pictures back. I still am subscribed. I saved back to my folders. Let's see if they stay after I drop the subscription. The unrestored '72 I rebuilt mechanically. sold to a friend who, hopefully sometime in our lives, is going to restore it. I wish I could have kept it

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

I love that truck Tim. Woulda been hard to let it go. I took this one of my truck hauling heavy lol. Took my kids to our paved church parking lot to run digger around. My boy loves it, took him about 10 minutes to start jumping it off the sidewalk haha.

Re: Random pictures you took of your K
 

It was hard, but times were tough at the time. I actually had the white '72 K2500 for sale but everyone wanted that blue & white truck. My good friend who has done more favors for me than anyone handed me a load of cash and said the rest will come by the weekend when a car he sold gets paid for and picked up. I was just in his shop yesterday looking at the rolling chassis. The body has been restored and all painted and sitting at the body shop down the road for years, many years. I stopped asking. The shop owner must have plenty of room and he doesn't care. I'd think he sold it and just can't tell me but he has the chassis. He keeps plenty of irons in the fire but he gets things done... except for the old truck. He even built a '70 K/20 with original paint and K/30 running gear recently.

I remember taking my kids to "pavement" to enjoy their various rides. No sidewalks in my neighborhood. Actually, there's no neighborhood, it's country! :lol: You already sais it, but I'm sure your son had a ball
