is that cool or what...

tallhoedude · 08-04-2008, 07:19 AM

big thanks to "J" for the help with pics

thanks for the complements.
with work and family this has been a slow moving project, i am so ready
to have this thing outside and moving on its own!

bigoates · 08-25-2008, 02:27 PM

Nice job man...going to be very cool!

Doing something similar to a 74 crew cab. Lots and lots of time needed!

tallhoedude · 08-29-2008, 10:43 AM

small update:

due to an unforseen family death and newly arising medical issues havent been able to work on the truck for last 3 weeks.granted the k5 is non-existant compared to family,and we are all pulling to gether and making it thru these tough times.but my k5 is a great source of "stress relief" as im sure most of you feel the same.
lots of parts have been accumulating and hope to get some work done onthe holiday weekend.
-engine harness is done,had reworked to eliminate some unneded things,add some things,misc.,just need to finish install.
-got all the hydro clutch parts to install.
-got all my fluids for drivetrain to go in.
-got all my coolant hoses.
-need to finish hydro steering mounts and such.
-got all the parts to finish my fuel system.

BUT, there is probably no way its gonna make it to the sept indy 4x4 jambo i had been so trying to make.
ill get some pics up in a week or so for an update.
thanks
andy

all depends....
yeah,its gonna be a big beast.

these 7ton axles have 9.34 ratio,and im gonna put these gear chunks into a set of 5ton axle housings,more managable housings,more accessable parts,and still keep the 9.34 gears for these big meats.

but im also gettin a set of the 52" michelins mounted so it will still see some street duty!!!
till the cops keep me from it!
