CK5 - The Full-Size GM Off Road Community

Right back where I started from....

It's an 85 350/465/208 with 10b's and P.O. said 2.73's :eek1: Speedo is way off, no way to really tell untill I pull the covers.

And good lord I need to hurry and fix the a/c. Hot as hell on the way home. Plus no radio. :doah:

All I can say is that I love my wife.

Congrats... What are the plans for it?

Not tear it apart until it gets colder and make sure that the thing is driveable instead of ripping it all apart.

I'd love to swap in a hotter cam/intake/holley truck avenger in the next few weeks, swap the chevy 208 for a dodge 208 (lots of work I know), and then throw on a lift, my 1-tons and my 42's.

But first I'm going to try and figure out why it likes to run around 210 around town and 220 on the highway. Gonna start with an 180 degree thermostat. Then I'm gonna figure out what's wrong with the a/c. Maybe attach the shifter boot to the floor, Remove all of the P.O.'s wiring for stereo crap. And make sure that everything works.

it should be lots of fun building that one up

it should be lots of fun building that one up

Yeah, except its hot as hell. Only get half of the crap I wanted to do today. The seats from my old K5 don't bolt in, so I have to do some drilling and stuff, swapped the t-stat, now it leaks, Should've ditched the o-ring and installed a new gasket...and I wasn't even drinking.

So much for an oil burner huh, sorry to hear about the cucv...

Let me know when you're going to lift it, I'll come help.

Actually I'd like to plan a CK5 pimp my rig day...Have to get all of the other stuff done first.

Make sure I have everything, and do it in one or two days.

That is some pretty sheet metal, you going to cut it up?

Well, she's kind of like that girl sitting across the bar at 1:45...she looks good now, but wait till the next morning....

But to answer your question yes. Gonna cut her up.

But baby steps first.

Congrats. Let me know if I can help.

Cut it up its too purty--Eric

Dang, that is a sweet start! I want another 4 speed blazer/jimmy some more bad. Keep us posted on changes.

Cost to me = 0

Now all I have to do is buy the cam stuff and a carby.

What Are Your Plans For The Truck.

Make it a wheeler. Swap in my suspension, 1 tons, and 42's on h1's.

Get everything working right and enjoy it.

Does it have a hydro clutch? Are you going to put fuel injection on it?

It does have a hydro clutch. No fuel injection, be a carb for a while while I formulate a plan to inject it.

Propane:D

I don't think I want to try propane. My way of thinking is propane for trail only rigs, and gas for trail/street rigs. Plus I don't want to haul around 60 gallons of propane...or try to find a filling station in the middle of BFE :D
