The rig is coming together nicely Outback! I remember seeing that truck on CL a few weeks ago. There is a '95 white extended cab long bed K2500 with a big block and 5 speed manual for sale in Pueblo that is on CL. At first glance, I thought you bought that one. That one probably would have been better in the power department but at the expense of cab space. Keep up the nice work.
Thanks!
I was really interested in an 88 K30 3+3 dully that was up in Cheyenne but after doing some measuring I realized that my camper was going to be too skinny for the jacks to clear the fenders. Looked like a really nice truck in the pics though..
I think I know the truck your talking about, if its the one I'm thinking about its been on there a month or more.
I knew from the beginning I wanted a crew, as a 6'2" dude whos ridden in plenty ex cabs I know putting one or 2 guys plus some stuff in the back of one isn't much fun for longer hauls.
When I had the escalade interior swap idea it pretty much sealed the deal. Since I'm planning a 6.0 swap I was mostly worried about the rest of the components being in decent shape.
This thing runs well for 224K on the clock though. I think a set of rebuilt heads and a really good tune up it would go another 224. Has good power and runs well but every once in a while it will throw down a solid puff of white smoke. Doesn't drip anything on the ground, bonus. And the AC blows super cold, double bonus.
Ive put about 250miles on it, so far it needs:
Serp belt and tensioner pulley
Rear pass window crank
All new steering components between the knuckles (might as well do it all at once)
Ignition switch
Hydro brake booster, brakes feel good but im hearing a lot of hydro noise in the cab and it looks like fluid is leaking down the fire wall, not sure if its break or PS fluid.
Headlight switch
Bunch of other little stuff.
