Re: My Build Begins!
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
