Well after years of searching and finally letting my K10 go I located and purchase my crew cab!!

1991 Chevy Crew V3500
454/4L80/205/Dana 60/14 Bolt

In her current state she is sitting on a 2" lift with 255/85R16 Toyo MT

She needs paint and a little bit of inteior work but man is she solid!!!!

I had been wanting to build a Crew SWB but I think i am going to keep her LONG!!!!

Sorry for the cell phone pics but here she is

Looks like a good solid truck. What are your plans? :metal: :metal:

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
For now I think paint and repair the interior, it runs very well for a 219K truck and all the drive train is original to the truck. some day it might see a LS but not any time soon.

05duramaxhd 05-08-2015 11:36 AM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Yeah the more I look at it and drive it its going to stay a LWB. I ordered some sanderson headers this week, got to get the factory exaust off!!!

I remember seeing that one for sale! It's nice!

05duramaxhd 05-12-2015 12:14 PM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
PO purchased it 8 yrs ago in Washington state, drove it to TN where I purchased it a few weeks back.

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Say, when you get time, would you mind doing me a favor and get a measurement from the ground to the front and rear fender openings? That looks like a bit more than 2" lift. And are the tires 255 85 16?

05duramaxhd 05-12-2015 04:54 PM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
I will try to get the measurements today. I have the receipt from Off road design where he ordered 2" tuff country HD springs it also has off road design shackles but they don't lift but maybe 1/2" or so and yes 255"s

Those look nice. Did you clean them up already? They look new!

05duramaxhd 05-14-2015 09:03 AM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Carboncrew your inbox is full...haha

did not clean them up, the burban that I have was showing 74K, the panels are almost perfect, all the grain is still on them!!!

y5mgisi I forgot the paper with the measurements

well I put my Duramax wheels on my crew for the trip to Oklahoma. don't really care for the look but they are on there for a few months 20" hummer h2 wheels with 305/55/20 nitto

y5mgisi 05-18-2015 11:54 AM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Thanks for the measurements! I like the white wheels and hub caps better personally.

y5mgisi 05-18-2015 11:55 AM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Perhaps i should also ask, how do you like the ride with those springs? Do you feel like they could be a little softer? Or does it ride almost perfect as is?

Anchorism 05-18-2015 04:50 PM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Whatcha doing with the original wheels?

05duramaxhd 05-19-2015 08:01 AM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Keeping the white wheels for now, they will be installed once we get moved to OKC

Glad that I could help y5mgis, the ride is great!! I don't think that I would ever use another brand lift ever!!! I have owned several K10's and almost all of them had Rough County lifts (They are an hour from my house) and the last K10 had a TC soft ride. That truck was the best K10 SWB ride that I had ever had!!! The crew has the HD springs fro the big block but it still rides like my wife's 09 Tahoe

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Thanks! What shocks does it have?

You need to sell me your truck, so I can park it beside this...

Sweet truck! Love the long bed and factory wheels. Looks kind of familiar...

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Nice score on the "long", looks like a real solid truck, interesting build, keep it coming.

05duramaxhd 07-20-2015 11:51 PM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
Sorry I haven't had any updates. Went to CA to pick up a 05 GMC Duramax that has 9800 miles. Yeah that right 9800. On way home went thru Phoenix and meet up with Carbon Crew to check out his sweet crew cab. Then picked up some new seats. Trying to get my shop built at the new place before I tear into her.

carboncrew 07-21-2015 06:41 PM

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy
 
come on, you have seat brackets to build!

Dang that duramax was nice....I think you should've left it in Phoenix ;-)

Can't wait to see the seats.

Nice meeting you

That is a very nice truck, it came from here in Washington a couple hours away from me. Glad someone ended up with it who will put it back to what it was.

Wish I had a place to store my truck inside! Especially since I have another car to drive around now.
