Re: lifted 4x4
Well it has a heavily modified 350 small block that was putting out around 380hp last time I took it to a shop to check but there has been more work done since then so I hope it's around 400 right now. Lift is at 6". I'll show you the chassis tomorrow when there is light. It's in pretty decent shape for it being so old. As clean as it looks in that picture, the inside of the bed is a totally different story. There are a load of scratches all over because I still use it like a truck... I'm thinking about getting it rhino lined on the sides but I'd still keep the wood bed. I'm going to replace the wood with new wood and whenever I use it as a truck I'll just throw down a heavy duty bed mat on the wood so it does not get damaged while the sides will be rhino lined. Otherwise the paint is pretty new as you can see. If you watch the video you will notice that there is new interior seating and the cab itself has new paint to match the exterior. There is not much left for me to do on her. Future plans include:
Handles in the back of the cab to assist in getting in the bed via the step sides. Replacing wooden bed with new wood and getting a bed cover when used. Rhino lining the sides of the bed so there are no more ugly scratches. Replacing the old exhaust with new pipes. Converting parking lights to be used as turn signals for safety reasons. Getting the very hard to get off grime on my rims either cleaned by some heavy duty crap or getting them chromed over. Wiring in tiny fans on the top sides of the dash for both passenger and driver sides to work as make shift air conditioning. *Unless it looks bad* Replacing entire cab light components. *Mine wont seen to get to work* Replacing current speakers with better quality ones. Getting a new stereo since the old one died. That's about it I guess... After that, she will be perfect! Well, maybe not perfect but still very nice for such an older truck. ![]() |

Re: lifted 4x4
My truck has gone through a few stages of being lifted, so I'll put them in chronological order. First, with a 6" Rough Country lift, minor fender trimming, and 38x15.50R16 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials. Truck is a 1983 K20.
![]() ![]() ![]() The local police "coerced" me into getting fender flares, mud flaps, etc. So here they are. ![]() ![]() Finally got the correct grille for it. ![]() ![]() Added a 3" body lift and this is how it sits now. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: lifted 4x4
No idea, to be honest. It was orange when I got it. I know for a fact it's not Hugger Orange. Looks almost like Omaha Orange or Atomic Orange.

Re: lifted 4x4
Good looking rig! I love the 81-82 grille. That thing looks clean.

Re: lifted 4x4
Thanks. That was a freebie grille! Was bought for a work truck for where I work 30yrs ago and it was never installed. It was going to be tossed out so I grabbed it and replaced the billet grille it had on.

Re: lifted 4x4
Wise decision. That was the best looking grille setup for an 81-87, IMO. The 83-84 like I have on mine is my second favorite.

Re: lifted 4x4
I wasnt sure of the year when I grabbed it but it made a 100% improvement over the aftermarket one. Next I want to install a steel bumper and lose the roll pan. So the cops gave you a hard time with the tires sticking out a bit?
