Talking a little update for ya all on the 85 56k no no

well many of you know that my truck had died on me back in late July. well I have some very very good news for any one hat has paid much attention to her. lol

here’s the info on her.

85 K-20
14bolt rear and a 10 bolt front
205 T-case
350 straight of a 77 impala
32's
2-3 inch of suspension lift
custom front tubular bumper
stock rear bumper
fog lights
roll cage in the design stages right now


ok well we got allot done today and yesterday. we had to purchase many new parts as she had sat in a sink hole for about 24hours and the complete right side was ****ed. bearings, seals, hub, ball joints(well they we're screwed any ways. lol)

so 500.XX or maybe 1000.XX.. :hammatime: . well its one of those 2... any ways yeah now that all that cash is gone she is almost ready.

we just need to finish rebuilding the carb. figure out a gas tank of some sort. I'm thinking of a tank that I can place into the box of the truck. instead of having it mounted on the out side of the frame where it can be quite unprotected...

I just put in my order for new tires on her. so they should be with me the second I can fork out the money... lol

new brake pads now installed



preparing the calipers for the new pads plus ridding the system of that dreaded stuff you call air... :twak:



both sides apart completely


YUMMMY


I better not forget to top up that diff tomorrow... or this could get nasty really really fast...

starter installed and 80% of the electrical is now complete


before the rotor was placed back on



carb cleaner thing a ma jober


the carb after I had jut placed it into the cleaner in the morning


nice and squeaky clean. we left it for the night, but we put a blanky over it... bawhahahahaha

this is how the bench sits now... well minus some of the rags and garbage...

well the truck is home sitting in my back yard now. it was quite a trip to get it home... first the tow bar came undone... good thing i was ridieng in the truck. lol

then getting it into the back yard was fun... 2 trucks... the 94 was the puller and the 99 was the pusher... fun fun..

I'm surprised the money you are putting into that truck. I guess I don't understand your motivation. Have fun though!
