I guess it's time to add another build thread to the chevy section, I've had small and rarely updated threads on other sites but I'll keep this one up to date. I'm not going to go back and show everything from how it started, but just the main points I guess.
I got this 75 k5 as a offroader for 1600$ when I was 17, it was a rust bucket and I hardly knew anything about working on this type of stuff...and thats where it all went downhill :flipoff2:
It had some weird half top thing on it, I sold that to some guy later on...
I went "mud whompin" in it alot the first summer I had it and figured out I didn't like that just one tire spun in the back when going through mud holes and climbing stuff.
So I talked to some mechanics at the chevy dealership I've been washing cars at since I was 16 every time I was not in school. I found out what locking differentials were and blah blah blah I bought a spool for the 12 bolt....and learned the hard way about rear ends.
Fast forward another few months and I went to a local park named grayrock orv and found out about crawling. Then it really went downhill..... I created something that belonged in the ghetto hackjobs thread on here and then I quickly smoked the dana44 in the front and back on the chopping block it went. This time I had found pirate and I became lots smarter.(yes that's a mitered hoop)
Alright, I tossed that bullshit and bought a literally rust free 2wd cab from the junkyard, I spent 2 days there pulling it
Then I threw it on my frame...oh and I picked up a 14bolt ff and a dana 60 along the way somewhere...
Damn this sucks looking up old stuff...I bought a S&W cage and in it went
Lets see where this gets me, flame on
