Just found another K30 time machine. This one I will refuse to sell, as Im still missing my 87 K30 Dually.

My retirement truck for you to view and in standing, I show it as a contribution to the greatness of the forum members rigs here. There are some very nice rigs on this site and even though i hardly ever post, I read and view here daily.

1986 K30 3+3 in Custom Deluxe trim. Purchased as new by a small volley fire department in Virginia and loved tenderly. It currently has a verified 34,043 miles as it sits in my driveway currently.

Drivetrain is stock 7.4 / SM465 / NP 205 /Dana 60 / C&C 14 bolt

The rig drives like a 1 year old truck, has no squeaks, no rattles and is a veritable time machine.

Fella who purchased her put a CM Industries SS bed on her and she is as she currently sits.

I have components being invoiced through OffRoadDesign for the new 6" suspension and related D60 steering improvements. Also purchased Trailready HD beadlocks in 20 x 10 and Mickey Thompson MTZ Radials in 15.50 x 38 x 20 to make it more proportional tire / wheel wise.

Toyed with the idea if keeping it a lifted dually like my okd rig, but deciding to go the SRW route this time.

Winch will be a necessity so Im recreating the setup on Fred Williams Alabama Army Truck of Dirt Every Day and 4 Wheel & Off Road fame, utilizing a CUCV bumper / grill guard combo with a new 12000lb Warn Zeon.

beautiful truck and a great find!

Dalaigh · 01-31-2011, 03:00 PM

Here's my 84 K20,

Soon to be lowered on 33's, PO put blocks up front to clear the 35's (I hate blocks, but the truck is in such great shape), so I'm taking the blocks out and getting 33's. I DD the truck, and less lift makes it more practical for what I need right now. I will lift it back up in a few years when it becomes my weekender...

69C-10SWB · 01-31-2011, 04:57 PM

My 87 1-ton 4x4. 454 sm465 14 bolt rear. Silverado trim package(back when this meant something). Now that all new chevy pickups are called silverado.

dabels23 · 01-31-2011, 06:06 PM

Ok heres my 82

Sierra Classic w/ac, pw, pl. Plans are 4-6" lift and 454 swap. It'll be slow due to tight budget and she's my daily driver.

**special-K** · 02-01-2011, 11:12 AM

I'm not sure of the sources of most my pictures. I may end up posting other member's trucks. I'll hold off to give members to show their own. But,if I show yours before you get a chance I apologize in advance.

That top pic is what my brother's 88 V30 would have looked like if it wouldn't have left the barn 15 years ago.

It looks like a rusty multi-color unit now.
