Just need to get the rearview mirrors of the floor and mounted on the doors. Looking really great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I would beat everyone else to the punch about the mirrors.

[ctmustang]

took the 1009 I got in Ga. the other week to the shop today. replaced front and rear brakes -includes turning rotors and drums man what a difference. Replaced all 3 rubber brake hoses and flushed the system. Surprise this one has the civilian type spindle nuts inside the hub what a time saver as I have the socket for these. changed fluid in both differentials and the transfer case.
Now the fun begins again-ready to start sanding and a little body work and new paint and new tires for the long ride to the Ga. rally. Wouldn't miss it for anything I had a great time last year.

Finally got the right head off, not hard, just not enough time. Will have it checked out next week and hopefully back together.

Converted it to an NV4500 5sp. It really should have come this way from GM !!

 

[Dave87]

Over the past months i put a GM3 turbo in and an 8in skyjacker lift and 37 Radials. Future plans is a snorkel and a safari rack. Maybe some 40s

 

[acesneights1]

Where are you getting a snorkel from ? I want one too but can't find anyone who makes it for our trucks.

 

[niferous]

Rebuilt my front end from the diferential out. New everything. Also replaced the rotors, brake pads, added Warn locking hubs, and a new steering stabalizer.

 

[jdeoliveira74]

built side walls and installed some 6x9 speakers. After I installed two more rolls of quick roof repair from the home depot. $16 a roll

 

[Dave87]

I looked around the web no one makes a snorkel for these trucks but many have converted a snorkel for a land Rover 80. All you need is a heat gun and it should work.

 

[acesneights1]

OK. I really want one.

 

[Jerchambers]

I finally went to the hardware store and mounted my center console to the floor. It's just the OEM from an 85 K5 that was in the Salvage yard locally.

 

[chief1983]

Leaving the parking lot to go camping this weekend, and it sounded like either the brand new flex plate just broke loose, or the torque converter has a few pieces loose. Wondering if my new vacuum pump was causing it to shift too soon and put too much strain on the converter.

 

[SimonG]

got the new front U-joints in this morning
