Nice new truck. For some reason I want to see you paint the top 2/3rds of it yellow, ha!

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Just went through the thread, nice attention to detail on the K5! Looks like a fun driver.

Yes it is a great driver especially since I got the AC ducts all sealed up tight now the AC blows you out of there which is important living in south florida. She cools off quickly now. I am getting it back today from the mechanic. I had them install cruise control which was a pain in the ass. Hopefully it works good. |

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
And after that pic, I got the garage all cleaned and hosed it all out, too! Feels so nice and clean now!
No heater?!? Did you pull it out? I think my wife would love not having a heater....aka live in Florida! :) Yea, suppose to have a lot of snow. Raining right now but 38 degrees. All schools in Denver and COS are shut down in anticipation of storm. 900+ flights cancelled already in Denver. Should be fun!! |

I've still not acquired a set of window sails for the rear cap if you come across any...

Where did you get the hooks you used at the ends of the rope hoists?

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Thanks! I'm going to do the same thing. Good design and good information. Thanks again!

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
UPDATE: I gave the wrong name of the vendor that might help with the side window vent windows. Try searching Motor City K5. Sorry for the mix up. Hope that helps.
BTW: If you happen to run across a link for those hooks could you let me know? I've searched for hours and can't find'em. Thanks. |

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Thanks for the pictures and link! Your awesome! I'll be getting that set up as soon as I get some help. Medical condition prohibits ladders but I can have a guy put it together for me. My local Home Depot lists 12 in stock for under $9. Thanks again!

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Nice truck - congrats. Always amazing to find one that cleans up and isn't hiding a pandoras box full of issues.
One thing to maybe go ahead and replace are the drive shaft u joints. I think someone else maybe mentioned those. They are the sealed units, with the funky waxy plastic plugs. You have to heat the old u joints with a torch to force the plastic out for removal. They are deceptive. My Suburban went 250,000 miles on the originals. I checked them for play at every oil change - fine. Then the next oil change all of a sudden there was movement. When they go they go fast. Would suck to be on the road or 4 wheeling when one goes out. |
Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Be careful if you leave the top suspended for a long time, it will spread and get a little wider. I don't know if you saw the rack I made for mine in my Sarge build thread, but I left the top in mine a few months and it was difficult to put back on. If you tie the two side hooks together it should be fine. Mine have a safety chain between them, I just need to hook it closer next time so it has a little tension on it.

I found this setup too. Might help spread the load better for long term storage lifting.
Although I have not experienced any warping/re-install issues, here is another optional setup. |
