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:

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.

Re: BRC Big Red Chevy

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

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

Thanks! What shocks does it have?
