[Babins]

Been waiting to show this until i fixed it. So here it is!
1996 Chevy K1500
4.3L Vortec
1/2 Ton 4x4
250,000km

I got it for free..... working has it perks thats for sure, I picked this up off a customer at Midas were I work he said the head gasket was blown, said i seem pretty good at fixing cars if i think i can fix it, come swing by check it out and if so tow it, and its yours. So i went to the guys house after work and i saw this.....


my jaw hit the flooor! even if it was compeltly fuc*ed! i could part it for serious cash!!


but w/e brought it home, started filling it with water and noticed a shit ton of water pouring out the side of the block...i though he cracked the block....nope buddy installed his own block heater nad it blew out.....it cost my 67 cents to fix this truck....then 3 days later the rear end blew up hahaha karma no vehicle would cost83$ for a tow and 67cent to fix lol


ether way i rebuild the rear differential with stock gears again 3.73 all new bearings seals and the works, runs solid now. love this truck. im into ti for only 530$ ya the rear differntial when i pulled the cover looked like silver paijnt pouring out this is the magnet

could not hold any other metal shavings lol bearings were toast, gears were toast the cown gear was worn about 1/8th of an inch into the teeth.

but as for now i have sum cool plans for this thing

Solid axle swap
Nicer exhaust, it has flowmaster but i dont like the wya its setup so im going with a thrush systemn instead
bush bar with winch
headache rack with those 2 lights moved onto it
rhino gaurd the box and body line down
paint truck black
with workin full time now this should take more then a few months!

ive had a couple freebees that cost me the time to pick it up and thats it my old 87 jeep comanche was free and it was only 4 trailers up the road my 91 sierra was free from murillo 91 pontiac 6000le was given to me when i was younger but taken back and a something, something eagle cant remember what it was but i made 400$ off it. Only 2 i liked the jeep was like a go-cart fuckin stupid on dirt roads and the sierra was a tank do anything go anywhere and it only had a 305 with 2wd, best truck ive had

[codeblack]

Have you ever had a vehicle legally on the road.. I mean.. Really..

[redneck_rebellion]

i drove the jeep around for a little wile until the starter went then i gave it to bleighque and he gave it to dirtdigger and i herd he fucked it up and the sierra i drove that around for a long time it was never posted on here used it for work all the time
so you fuckin happy to hear i use my shit?

as for the SAS absolutly nuthing in mind.... i just want it.... lol... still need to tweak here and there, new brakes all around calipers, rotors etc etc ebrake cable... exhaust cuz the retard put 2 oxygen sensors next to each other when he cut the cat out and straight piped everything into a twisted pipe dream of fuckedness that i have never seen, so scrapin it and goin highflow cats to h-pipe and straight out the ass into single 1 in 1 out thrush on each side all 2 1/2 out. then front grill swap to 96 silverado front end with the dual slit head light swap. rockgaurd the box

THEN i can think of parts for my SAS how about this what are sum ideas FOR my SAS lol keep inmind i just dished out 350$ to fully rebuild my rear differntial with 3.73 gears, all new bearings seals etc. so a double diff swap is out of the question. what can i match with a gm 10 bolt gt4 rear diff with 3.73 to? open to ideas as it will be my first SAS. money isnt to much of an issue i got like 2-3grand to play with? is that enough lol i really havent looked to much into it. my buddys yota has it and its so clean looking. high steer would be sumthin i would like as well... so ya any ideas or how tos much appreciated.


and yes there is quite a few already on it those tires have 65-75% tread left 8/32s. those rims r nice too gotta power ball them lol clean em up real nice, the flowmaster exhaust asides from the oxygen sensors setting off my engine light is o-k. fog lights r bright as hell insta day. those on with just my ambers looks dope.

[MarcGSR]

Yea you just need a welder, finding the solid axle is the easy part.
