vtblazer Nice

any others

[CrashEd]

Both of you guys trucks sound really nice.

I have a 86 blazer with a 383 and 40 groundhawgs on it. A small lift with the fenders almost cut of front and rear its easy to get in for me though.
Its preaty much stock with the 10 bolt rearend welded.
It gets me around good.
My 72 k10 LWB is going to be a little bigger with 3/4 ton drive line and i hope soon to have 39.5/16 boggers on it.

[1969K10]

Well, mines a work in progess.
It's titled as a '69, but has '68 cab & dog house on it.
"Stock" were still applicable, read sig...
307 V8 replaced with 350.
D44 in front - looking for D60 - will be locker.
12 bolt in back - 14bolt getting closer to going in - will be det. locker, I think.

Want a winch, and I think it'll be the truck I'm after...

Nice rides guys - I don't do near the thrashing that y'all do, just a good work/play truck.

Nice.

We need pics of it for sure.

What's the intended "use"? Will it be a driver/weekend trial ride?

[special-K]

I have a perfect truck to do all this to.A`92 K3500 5spd 6.5TD.And the 6.5 is a marine-duty 300hp!!If I can come up with another work truck w/o selling this,that`s my plan.It`s been the plan since I factory ordered this truck.I even have a RH-drop NP241 to "pop" in there so I can use one of my GM D60s.I`d like to keep it looking factory just to be subtle(and mess with a few minds.
