Re: 73-87 4x4s

this is my 79 gmc jimmy, when i got it...


umm, i hated these...

so i fixed...
33 1250 15 wrangler dura tracks, and a VERY TEMPERARY 3 inch block lift all around... even front, yes i know, stupid.


then i got a "four inch lift" from rough country, they sent 6 inch springs tho...
so i had a lean,


fixed that by rearching rear springs, and adding a leaf, that with 3 inch blocks puts it good. =]

Re: 73-87 4x4s

Here is mine from quite a few years ago after the fine trooper from the mass state police truck team me over. It used to be bigger but had to lower it if I still wanted to drive it. Hence the reason for my username!

My new to me 1980 K20 haven't been able to look over as deployed. But for 600 looked like a good deal.

Re: 73-87 4x4s

...well here's mine. K10 from 1987. Its all stock, except the rims and tyres and fuel...used to be white when built in L.A.?..well the Propane gas system was installed there...and thats so perfect! I couldnt afford to run this truck if it werent for that. I bought it when it was painted black, off an old boy who said he had to sell it as he could no longer lift the wheels on and off. I'm beginning to feel like that too sometimes!! Its a rare beast over here in England. In five years ownership Ive only seen one other... a fleetside. I recently spent a year in France, towing a six meter long caravan all up and down the Pyrenees mountains and over in to Spain. It did well of course, but it gets very underpowered with the propane. Bits keep on breaking/falling off/bursting in to flames....but its a great truck. Bigger than virtually everything at the lights of course...not a lady killer...but actually the ladies arent really after your wheels are they?
I like it a lot, but I wish above all things that the suspension was smoother....and I know there are all sorts of sexy bits one can buy to fix that...but thats going to have to wait. Wish you all well... Andrew...and trust these images are attached!! ...well they are, but you need to go to the next page to see them.

Re: 73-87 4x4s

...ok, here they are!! Look at the previous page for more information.

...and let me tell you, those roads in the mountains really are very, very narrow and for the bends you need to take two or even three bites at it. Heaven help everybody if you meet another vehicle coming the other way....and note the lookalike U.S. plates...the police here in the UK dont like them...but Ive never even been stopped here in five years. The French police however...more or less they just want to practice their english and maybe say hello.

Re: 73-87 4x4s

Ok took these this am when I got to college. 1985 diesel Burb, 4 inch lift with 35 inch tires. The winch is currently off cause Joe's got to replace some part on it. He just finished an engine swap, has built heads now. The tranny was just put in around June, I'll have to find out from him what all was done to it. I do know that the truck tries to burn rubber now but I think it's too heavy to actually do that though.
