Picked this up yesterday. 1990 chevy k1500 has a 350 tbi with edelbrock heads, intake, valve covers, gear to gear timing, hooker headers. 8 inch suspension lift 3 inch body lift on 37 inch tirrs on american racing rims. Very very little rust cab corners and rockers solid. Traded my 1999 dodge dakota for it. I plan on using the heavy chevy to drive to school and turn some heads down mainstreet

Not bad for a Chevy! Not my favorite body style but still pretty nice! My buddy is in the process of "restoring" his '96 GMC 2WD with a 305 TPI. Talking about dropping a 454 in it with a 12 bolt posi rear and drag racing that trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro haha.

I feel your pain.... But it's a good kind of pain! ;)

I recently bought a '78 K-10 with a 4" suspension lift riding on 35" rubber and that gate is high enough for me! Loading a wheeler with my ramp is going to be a bit trickier than usual. I can't imagine how tall yours is!

drop the back tires into a deep ditch, ride right in.

Very cool truck Man!!

Those tires would like to let you know that you should start saving for when the ten bolt breaks.

Definitely cool that the corners and rockers are good, thats uncommon on those trucks, ive replaced many! Maybe its because its so high above the roads water and salt.....

'7 Days of the week 7 different Chevys' i always say:D

191894191895Glamy that wouldnt help me the bumper is a custom roll pan that has chevy emblems cut in it and behind that are they tail lights. The tail lights arent in the back of the box. Going to have to just build a nice set of ramps. You guys should see the drop hitch I got lol

That's originally from my area, Ishpeming. I haven't seen around here for a little while but from what I recall, it goes pretty darn good for being so big.

Sweet looking truck, for sure. I am glad you are footing the bill for fueling it and not myself, as I already have a mortgage payment. Crazy nice ride you have there!!!

Briano I heard someone named billy jenkins built it. Its got some rim snort and torque. I traded my 99 dskota with a 5.2 v8 in it for this truck to a kid in the army from florence wisconsin just outside of iron mountain. Surprisingly the dakota was harder on gas than this big brute.
