Cool trail video! Nice to see the K10 hang with the Jeeps. :metal:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks Greenlee! The Jeeps are the only trail friends she has got right now lol :lol:

Dave,
I cant seem to get your videos to play for me. I have a question about what flywheel and clutch you are running behind your 5.3. Im wanting to swap a 6.0L in my 67' C-20,it has a sm465 in it also. Just wanted to see how you did it and if you had any part numbers. Thanks

11-7/8 Clutch for a 74 K20 Car Quest
LS7 pilot bearing
Sachs NFW1050 Flywheel O'reillys

I touch on it in my K5 build thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=532351

Don't know about the video playback, no one else has mentioned any problems, but I will take a look at it!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Dave,
Thanks for the information. Ill look into your other build.

I can click the you tube icon but it comes up as a 404 htp error. All I can see on the post are a little square box in the left upper corner of the video outline. I cant click it either. Might be my computer.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I would randomly watch your build videos over the last few years when I stumbled on to them a few years ago! I decided to binge watch the K10, and K20 build a few weeks ago and was hooked! Really enjoy both the trucks, and your LS tech videos.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I have been working on a stubby bumper, finally got it done and did some fender trimming.

Thanks Greenlee!

Saturday Trail Ride - Potosi Cabin. An awesome trip up to an abandoned cabin, which provided us shade for grillin and shootin the breeze!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I haven't updated this thread for a while, because I have been waiting for some new shoes for the K10. Finally got some and figured I would share a trail ride with you.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Great scenery. Looks like a fun day. Thanks for sharing. New wheels or tires or both?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Just tires, I had moved my old tires to the K20.

Painted my door panels and added some insulation.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice seeing a full size rig showing all those Jeeps what's up!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I'm not sure I was showing them anything but it was a good time :)

Since I have been doing more trail runs, I figured it was time to work on my lack of traction issue. Being I was too cheap to buy a Detroit why not a mini spool...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Made some Rock Sliders.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Put the rock sliders to work, they definitely saved the body a few times.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

How did the sliders do?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks for sharing Dave. Awesome videos as usual. I was going to ask you if you miss your K5 or considered shortening the K10 but you answered those in that last video. Keep it up and Good Luck with the adoption. Can't wait to see you and "The Little Man" hitting the trail. :metal: :metal:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks I appreciate it!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice driving, Dave! Man I would be puckered up just riding along...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks! I don't think I even notice anymore, especially with the long wheel base it makes everything so much easier, well except turning tight corners!

I got out for a nice trail ride with my 4x4 club and the boy! It was a great day of wheelin', grillin' and being in good company!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

The truck stuff is cool and all that but a BIG congratulations on the adoption!! That's the real treasure.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thank you Marcus, I appreciate it!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

She held up in Sand Hollow this weekend on some trails that were rated a 7, but once we got of course on the last trail and ended up on a 9 rated trail, things got interesting!!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Oh man I would be devastated if that happened to my 81 haha. I think a bobbed short bed would do wonders for ya.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Whoooooops. I thought you were going on the lid there early on. Good battle scars.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Yet another cool video. I can't wait to have time to get out wheeling again. I wish we had that type of terrain a little closer to PA. Some day when my truck is capable I will be towing the Jeep west to do some real wheeling.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks guys how about another?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Another vid from the wheelin trip to Sand Hollow.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks for more great videos Dave. I watched the one on trailering your rig home as well and I'm glad that it turned out good. Keep the videos coming and can't wait to see that Blazer build, if you get it. My Jimmy is still apart and yet i went out and found an 1987 R20 single cab that needed rescuing from its previous owner. :lol: His tool of choice must have been a zip saw. :lol:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks, It was a crazy towing experience and I am happy to be here lol. Good luck with the projects, keep plugging away you will get it. I understand about rescuing more, if it wasn't for my wife I would probably have 10 trucks in my backyard lol

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

It's time to put an auto in the K10. The TH400 and NP205 should work...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Turbo400 swap pt2

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I like the new format, I can definitely see where it would come in handy for people doing or considering doing what it is your about to tackle. I like knowing the part number, source, and price (even though it is subject to change.) Keep it up and get that thing going again. I have a Turbo 400 that came out of my '89 that I would gladly give you if you were up here. :metal:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Road trip!! :metal:

Thanks man, I appreciate you commenting and watching. I'm trying to be as through as possible.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

How about a quick drive around the block, she shifts!
