Dr Lee on The Diesel Page built a really nice N/A 6.5 (589 block) for his '82 short bed that had about stock 6.5TD HP. He painted it '82 6.2 red to keep the look. The truck was a red original 6.2 C/10.
I'll play. I've had at least one in my driveway for 25 or more years now. No under hood pics,though. First,my '84 I had until I ordered my '92. It had a Banks Sidewinder kit and Gear Vendors behind a TH400:

Here's my '91 Suburban with 6.2/4L80E. I retired it after it got hit in the front,had a mashed rear 1/4 panel,and I just didn't have the money to fix it:

My latest and current 6.2 is this '85 Jimmy with 700r4. All stock except I took the lift/tires/axles from the Suburban and put them under it. So,now it's got 4.10s and a locker.

Nice
Are any of those your's?
That second pic, I'm guessing it's a 6.5 turbo on a 6.2?
Thanks!

Tim,
Those are all AWESOME rigs that you had (and have)!!!
How did you like the Banks set-up?

Re: Let's see those 6.2 Detroits!!!
 
Yes,I don't think it was worth the expense,though. The N/As run just fine for me and get better mileage.

This guy in Texas put together a real nice Suburban:

And,another nicely done Suburban. I saw this in a 4wd magazine a while back:

Great looking diesels in this thread. Here is my 82. The date on the pic is not right. I took this pic about 2 years ago right after I bought the truck.

:D It's there for my failing transmission, and even after going over a mountain or hitting the highway at 90 it NEVER moves! :lol:
