CK5 - The Full-Size GM Off Road Community

Here's something that I have been talking with Steve about and wanted to check interest levels.


Obviously its easier to gauge how interested you are if you have a price but was just curious if people would want to paint these themselves to match their trucks of if blue and white powder coat would be the way to go. Steve your input here is appreciated as well since we had discussed blue and white powder. I'm just trying to keep costs down and cater to the DIY guy/gal.

Pretty dadgum slick! I'll run one!

that's sweet. I pick'd raw cause I like the Idea of painting it myself, so I can match my coloe scheme. plus it keeps the cost down.

ence though it will drive prices and you ight not be able to cut it with your set up but what about the cut out being SS.

be cool to have a colored back groung and a stainless ck5.

would love to hear a price,


what about a plain one with no hitch on it just the ovle and ck5?

I'll have to try one out of stainless sometime. Haven't had the opportunity to mess with stainless much. I stay pretty busy with just plain old steel. Got some aluminum projects in the works so maybe an aluminum backdrop and tube with a colored ck5. Then their is the whole electrolosis thing. I don't want to mess with the plan too much as this is also up to the man. His logo... :grin:

a nother idea for these. if you look at the first pic it looks like a sweet belt buckle. ya now that would be great also. and how much for just the ck5 emblem with out the hitch unit, so i can bolt it to the sweet spot on the truck. thanks.

I'd PIMP :pimp1::pimp1: it. Would have to paint it, too shiny for my taste.

I'd take one in stainless too, just the logo no background so I could put it on the tailgate banner ... or on the fender where the K5 emblem use to be.:pimp:

Cool. I would like to have one with just the "CK5" and no oval.

So when can I buy one?

Are they laser cut or routed. We have a CNC router and they told use to stay away from cutting stainless if at all possible. Probably not as big of a deal with a laser though.

Soon as all the details are worked out with Steve they will be available. It's looking from the poll results that most would prefer raw steel. Then there is a good number of folks that would prefer just the emblem. I think that would be doable as well. I'll post up again tomorrow with some prices.

I vote raw, I'd paint it black and bolt it to the body somewhere. Sweet idea, would make a cool hitch plug or if you just had the emblem would look a lot cooler than a sticker.

man those are pimpin!!! just let me know the day they are available to order. :D

I voted for Raw.. Bt actually would prefer BLACK powdercoat!! :D And the Stainless one would be pretty sweet.. Or Aluminum....

very cool. I say plain steel... i like to paint my own stuff.

I doubt I'd use one as a trailer hitch cover thingy... but using it as a badge on the body, like right below the "jimmy" one on my front fender would be pretty cool. Can you make pretty much anything like this? I always thought it'd be cool to have an all new metal badge made that was the same 'font' as the factory one but said "K35 Jimmy" on it..maybe D60 / 14b in smaller letters below it. That would rock and definitely throw the emmissions-testing people off. lol!

j

Most anything. Only thing that has to be kept in mind is the detail can get small enough to where it doesn't look so good anymore in my opinion. K35 would be no problem but the dana 60 14 bolt depending on how it was layed out. That would be pretty cool though. Let me know if you want me to do something up for you.

plain metal and the CK5 emblem only or the emblem and the oval only. Looks killer sighn me up for a couple of embems.

I think just the emblem would be sweet, I know I would buy one for my Grille since I dont have a GMC emblem

Ok, lemme get something drawn up in CAD or something and run it by ya to see what ya think. Would you prefer AutoCAD or FormZ? :)

j

Did you get anything drawn up? DXF always works. OK almost always. :grin:

been busy as heck lately so I haven't messed with this yet... I will though, if for no other reason than to sow confusion among newbs and emmissions testing people. lol! I have pretty much no time to do this kinda thing right now. My parents have a bunch of landscaping they are paying me to do... so I work from 9am-1pm doing that... and from then until midnight Im at my real job/commuting. Makes for long days. ;) anyway, yeah... I'll design something soon. Maybe I'll export it to form Z so I can do a quick render and post a pic here...

j

I voted for the raw steel so I can get it CHROME PLATED! :D



















:deal: :eek1: :ignore: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Sorry I had to say it. Id just paint it black and grey

Got my today :blush: super fast shipping and great quality. Now I'm waiting for paint to dry :frown1: so I can install them.

Great job guys I'll be ordering more stuff soon :thumb:

where is the pricing, when can i place my order

Hey boz.... Here (http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134854)

Looks good. The oval without the receiver set up would be nice.

Those are cool as hell.

They have been done all three ways now. CK5 fender badge, Badge and oval and the whole shootin' match.

I see the email addy, but not sure how to place the order. A little help here for the ordering challenged please...

PM your way.

Me too?

i just thought of an idea, the ovel looks like a ford thing, why not do one with the chevy bowtie???

Now that is a good idea. It just never hit me I guess!

That sounds kewl.

Put me down for one if you do the bow-tie :D

What about for us GMC guys????? :D

:doah:

A while ago you said you might do the badges in aluminum or stainless. Have you thought about that any more?

I could do the badges in aluminum and leave them so they could be screwed on rather than welding studs into them.

Mine is a Chevy at heart

I want a bow tie one :D, can you make me one that's just the logo, no receiver setup?

Jesse

What about for us GMC guys????? :D

Do them all the time in just the badge alone. Haven't spoken with the man yet on incorporating the bowtie. Don't feel right just running off and using his logo without some communication. However, I have done one just for testing purposes and then gave it away.

:doah:

LOL, you suck Kert! :doah: :doah:

OK, well, maybe you don't suck TOO bad! :wink1:

sell them in both that way people have a choice if they want them pantied or not.

count me in for the emblem, i would love to put them on the sides of my k5

Cool. I would like to have one with just the "CK5" and no oval.

So when can I buy one?

Same here just would prefer to have the CK5 x2 please. and yes when to purchace? The Oval I would like to have for a belt buckle though

They are available now. Call the office to order and Tracy will get it going on for you.

waayyyyyyyyyyyyyy sick it would run one for sure!! Great idea

:doah: I'm smoking dope, don't mind me:crazy:

ruh roh!


:haha:

Maybe I missed this reading through everything earlier, but will these fit on the Burbs with stock 56" springs without having to swap sides?

These will fit on just about anything! :haha:

I think your in the wrong thread. I believe you are thinking about Flip N switch kits. In which case yes they should bolt up just as your current hangers are.

This would make one HELL of a belt buckle?

Hey guys, these kinda died off so gotta bring this to the top. Remember a percentage of each purchase comes back to this site!

I run two of them on my K5. I left them raw, but put some clearcoat on them. I raised the K5 off of the background with a nut as a spacer as well. Looks pretty darn nifty if I do say so myself. I'll see if I can find a pic...

Thanks! These are stud mounted guys so keep that in mind. Basically a fender badge. Poke a couple quarter inch holes and nut it on the back side. DONE!
