89 k5

Here is my old heep of metal. Its a 1989 GMC Jimmy with a sweet ass TBI 350 and 700r4. It has a chip, headers, bolt on chrome. Its kind of a hp machine. It was a Cali truck so there is no rust which is the main reason I bought it. There are dents but I will fix dent any day over rust. There was a lot of "mods" that the PO did that were too cool for me so they had to change.

Nothing crazy is going to be done with it really.

5.3
10b/14b
H2s and some tires
custom front and rear bumpers
small audio build
Paint, Flat silver metallic.

Sitting in old dude's driveway that I bought it from.

Dat sweet motor

Sweet dual shocks.

Dat donor truck

Front bumper that I built. Oh and since I am too cheap to buy a new grill I just painted it stain black.

Front bumper all finished

Sully chilling on the rear bumper that I built

All painted and access panel made for it. Not completely happy withe the cover but I can always change that later

Since the rear bumper does not cover everything I am going to build filler pans for it.

It fits better than this picture shows but it is hard to hold it and take picture at the same time.

However that is where I am at currently with it. Planning on working on the license plate side of the roll pan this weekend.

this is cool !!! is it going to be like a weekend tail rig or is it just going to be for looks ?

i like how your filling in the rear since the bumpers small, i wish you did something in the front since the fender hangs below the bumper on each side

 

[Graystone]

I wont be scared to take it off road or get dents but not a trail rig

Awesome, can't wait to see the progress. I bought a k5 with similar plans but sold it recently cuz I had too many things going on

Thanks.

There is a swap meet in 7 hours that I am going to tomorrow so I might find something to waste my money on.

Looking good so far!

Picked up some used bfgs for the h2 wheels. And a spare wheel and tire. Already sold the spare.

Plans may be charging. Trying to consolidating projects. The plan now is to sell the k5 to my brother in law and build the 77 short box that I was going to part out. Do most the same as in 5.3 swap and same lift. I get to keep my bumpers. I am going to do a different rear bumper but keep the front.

I need a pickup more than an suv.

I was right trying to sell this ball hair growing beast.
