Etech. Why not put a camper on the K5? DW

Ran into Jorg and Ingrid Bareuther the other day while on casing break here in town. They are from Osterhausen, Germany. www.arminius-on-tour.de

Does anyone know of someone preferably in colorado that can gut and remodel and chinook pop top camper? I want to redo the entire inside of my camper and modernize it as well... DW

Although pricey compared to a standard replacement shock...the ride quality on a good resivor shock is a night and day difference. I run walker evans on my 79 k5...and once i get rolling (15mph) its a dream to drive in the dirt...cd player doesn't even skip...lol. DW

Here's mine...which shortly will be melded into one.... I think i have seen that blue chevy k20 around these parts as well.

I actually have both...a 76 Chalet and a FWC i just aquired for my 79 K5. I like the FWC more as it is lighter being a bolt on made of aluminum vrs. the heavy fiberglass slide in chalet. I have had years of experience driving my chalet all over the place and so far i am rather impressed how the...

What about this option? There is one here in town that you could trade your top and tailgate for....

Well...i found a camper for myself finally...in colorado of course...and close by which was a plus as well. I have it mounted but the cab to camper seal is a big issue. Right side is not tucking up...so i guess i will have to finger something out to solve it..ie: new front board that utilizes...

Love that rear bumper... I have heard a cummins powered burb of same year flavor can hit almost 30 mpg. DW

I had one on my 06 Duramax. Got lucky and managed to avoid the 4 legged creatures....however i slid into a bridge here in colorado head on... Buckstop 1 Bridge 0....lol. I did recieve some rs headlight damage incurred by the front bolt on bar as mine was the outback version....otherwise i would...

Ran into a guy in grand junction colorado who has a 72 Jimmy with a rather clean 4 Wheel Pop Top. Since he owns a road ready early 70's GM motor home he'd like to part with the camper in trade for a top and tailgate. If anyone is interested get a hold of me and i'll get you in touch with him. DW

A long shot...but any idea if a FW from a 72 Jimmy might fit on a 79 K5? DW

For shix and giggles... The rear seats in a chalet are firmly mounted to the bed floor...and come standard with seat belts.... DW

Current tinkering on mine before move to Phx. Due to holiday weekend i am at a stand still for two reasons...alcan is not open to bend up bolts until tuesday. And i pulled a Tim Allen and tried to remove my right index finger lowering the chalet via air operated bumper jack onto the...

When are you heading to Moab? Its a 100 miles from my house here in western colorado. I'll assume ejs? DW

The 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle is a true statement. If it was me i'd go large and buy the biggest they make which i think is a Warn 16k if memory serves correctly. Mud and such equate to what we call in the army the mire factor of a stuck vehicle. That is where snatch blocks come into...

A blazer would not be a bad way to go. Power depends on your preference. I have converted both my Chalet (76 K5) and 79 K5 to TBI efi....a simple swap and tons more power and reliability...and parts can be had anywhere for the efi system. Add a chalet camper and or a 4 wheel pop top blazer model...

Run away very far from the gm IFS. It sux. I installed the cognito upper arms and double shocks and a host of other gidgets to make her (2006 2500 HD) survive the oilfield work enviroment and it still has issues. The dmax and the allison have been flawless! So...i'd saw pitch the ifs for a pro...
