    1990 K5 Build

    I need to change my profile. I lived in Las Vegas for 4 long years for work but moved back to San Diego last summer. There is a valley behind the front seats. My liner was done by Line X and it is a spray in liner. . San Diego bay and Coronado from my back deck.

    Next up storage drawers. Any suggestions? Also thinking about beefing up the electrical. My neighbor works on big yachts here in san Diego and he is pulling a bunch of deep cycle marine batteries out of a yacht this week. They usually do not all go bad at once but they replace them as a set...

    FedEx just delivered a 99"x66" piece of BedRug that I will use to insulate the bed. The stuff is super durable and can be cleaned with a hose like the rhino lining. I'll post pictures soon.

    I haven't posted in a while but I've been busy on my old k5. I've redone the interior including rhino lining the tub, new dash new seat covers new door panels new headliner etc. Ive also given the engine a good once over (luckily my neighbor is a mechanic) and mounted a new Surco rack. Now it's...

    Next 1990 K5 Project

    Just finished replacing my fuel pump and so now I am on to the next project! I am thinking about replacing the front seats in my 1990 K5 with some newer suburban seats. I have heard that the 2000 front sub bucket seats match up with the mounting holes in the front and need minimal fab to mount...

    Decisions Thanks for all of the advice and tips. Here's where I'm at so far: Bumper/Winch/Recovery 1. I'm going to keep the stock bumpers and reinforce behind them. 2. Down the road, I'll mount the winch behind the front bumper and receiver behind the rear bumper as suggested by Metcalf and...

    Thanks for the thoughtful advice. I think I'm sold on going with 285/75/16 and leaving it stock height and not trimming. The fuel tank replacement is a great idea that I think I'll go with as well. Given that this truck is a daily driver, anything I can do to increase fuel efficiency is a...
