Well after years of searching and finally letting my K10 go I located and purchase my crew cab!!

1991 Chevy Crew V3500
454/4L80/205/Dana 60/14 Bolt

In her current state she is sitting on a 2" lift with 255/85R16 Toyo MT

She needs paint and a little bit of inteior work but man is she solid!!!!

I had been wanting to build a Crew SWB but I think i am going to keep her LONG!!!!

Sorry for the cell phone pics but here she is

carboncrew · 05-05-2015, 10:33 AM

dang, that's a good start! Best year ever made

We want weekly updates!

COS399 · 05-05-2015, 11:24 PM

Looks like a good solid truck. What are your plans?

05duramaxhd · 05-06-2015, 08:05 AM

For now I think paint and repair the interior, it runs very well for a 219K truck and all the drive train is original to the truck. some day it might see a LS but not any time soon.

birdrx7tt · 05-06-2015, 11:41 PM

+1 for keeping it long

Matt Man · 05-07-2015, 02:17 AM

Nice truck! I've day dreamed about a 91 Crew Cab LWB.. good luck!

05duramaxhd · 05-08-2015, 11:36 AM

Yeah the more I look at it and drive it its going to stay a LWB. I ordered some sanderson headers this week, got to get the factory exaust off!!!

lightningtruck · 05-09-2015, 12:39 AM

Agreed! Best year and combo. Keep it a long bed.

05duramaxhd · 05-12-2015, 11:28 AM

so here is a pic of my truck right after the PO purchased it. man i can't wait to get her painted now!!

05duramaxhd · 05-12-2015, 11:32 AM

one more

y5mgisi · 05-12-2015, 11:58 AM

I remember seeing that one for sale! It's nice!

05duramaxhd · 05-12-2015, 12:14 PM

PO purchased it 8 yrs ago in Washington state, drove it to TN where I purchased it a few weeks back.

y5mgisi · 05-12-2015, 03:02 PM

Say, when you get time, would you mind doing me a favor and get a measurement from the ground to the front and rear fender openings? That looks like a bit more than 2" lift. And are the tires 255 85 16?

05duramaxhd · 05-12-2015, 04:54 PM

I will try to get the measurements today. I have the receipt from Off road design where he ordered 2" tuff country HD springs it also has off road design shackles but they don't lift but maybe 1/2" or so and yes 255"s

05duramaxhd · 05-13-2015, 11:33 PM

going to change the interior out of a 86 suburban, slate gray

carboncrew · 05-14-2015, 08:47 AM

Those look nice. Did you clean them up already? They look new!

05duramaxhd · 05-14-2015, 09:03 AM

Carboncrew your inbox is full...haha

did not clean them up, the burban that I have was showing 74K, the panels are almost perfect, all the grain is still on them!!!

y5mgisi I forgot the paper with the measurements

05duramaxhd · 05-16-2015, 10:56 PM

well I put my Duramax wheels on my crew for the trip to Oklahoma. don't really care for the look but they are on there for a few months 20" hummer h2 wheels with 305/55/20 nitto

y5mgisi · 05-18-2015, 11:54 AM

Thanks for the measurements! I like the white wheels and hub caps better personally.

y5mgisi · 05-18-2015, 11:55 AM

Perhaps i should also ask, how do you like the ride with those springs? Do you feel like they could be a little softer? Or does it ride almost perfect as is?

Anchorism · 05-18-2015, 04:50 PM

Whatcha doing with the original wheels?

05duramaxhd · 05-19-2015, 08:01 AM

Keeping the white wheels for now, they will be installed once we get moved to OKC

Glad that I could help y5mgis, the ride is great!! I don't think that I would ever use another brand lift ever!!! I have owned several K10's and almost all of them had Rough County lifts (They are an hour from my house) and the last K10 had a TC soft ride. That truck was the best K10 SWB ride that I had ever had!!! The crew has the HD springs fro the big block but it still rides like my wife's 09 Tahoe

y5mgisi · 05-19-2015, 11:58 AM

Thanks! What shocks does it have?
