Pics from a carshow in ky

More pics

**Zoomad75** · 10-16-2022, 09:30 PM

Murphy Hogback campsite on the White Rim trail. The only thing that sucked was the heat.

Same spot a few hours later as it was still to hot to comfortably sleep inside the truck.

To give the shortest synopsis of the trip, here we go in three pics.

Driving over through the Eisenhower tunnel on our way to Moab.

The aftermath of the Steelbender trail. Stock skidplates do not support the weight of a 7,000-pound tank when you belly out on a ledge.

Going back through the tunnel on the way home...

Nice shots. Carnage always sucks but at least now you have an excuse to upgrade! 205 time??

No 205 for me. The 241 has been fine with the torque of the 8.1 and my more aggressive throttle antics with the 5.3 in front of it. But the egg-shell aluminum case is the weakness.

A 205 would cure that issue, but so would a properly supported (on both ends) skid plate.

For the strength I'd gain, I'd lose gear reduction. Right now with the 6.34:1 low gear in my nv4500 the 2.72:1 in the 241 and my 4.1 gears I have a 70:1 crawl ratio. If I went to a 205, the 1.96:1 low range would drop me to 50:1 in low/low. The only way to get the gearing back would be to put a ORD Magnum box in front of the 205, which uses the same planetary gearset as the 241. Sure I'd have the added bonus of going low/low/low and get almost 140:1 but I don't need to go that deep, nor do I have the funds to go that way.

Speaking of cost, price out a round pattern 205 with the 32 spline input IF you can find one. Plus I'd have to find a 90-91 to get the VSS output or buy more goodies to convert one from mechancial speedo to VSS. I won't bring up using a AA kit to adapt a figure 8 pattern 205 to my nv4500. Besides more cost I'm not chopping the output shaft of my freshly rebuilt trans to facilitate that mess.

The 241 is getting treated to a full rebuild kit of bearings/seals and a Tom Woods SYE to rid the t-case of the slip yoke setup. That and installing a spare rear housing I have stashed in the garage.

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 10-28-2022, 07:47 PM

My 69 K/30!! I know GM never made a K/30 until 1977 but this started life as a 69 C/30 longhorn and was shortened 18” then converted to a 4X4 and was fitted with a Dana 60 front And a 14 bolt rear out of a 81 K/30 so it is 4X4 which is a K model and is a C/30 series so combined it’s a K/30 lol

I’ve seen this one in real life, and…. Its every bit as bad ass in real life as it in on screen!
Awesome pic Jeff!

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 10-29-2022, 08:00 PM

Thanks For the kind words fellas! Thanks for the flip Tim and yes it’s roddy creek bridge in Thurmont!! Good eye!!

Been raining alot around here lately! So the flatbed '85 for in the mud when its raining, then the LWB '72 when the sky is blue.

**special-K** · 10-29-2022, 09:14 AM

The best one yet! All that and a bag of chips! Except you can't haul a full sheet of plywood in it with the tailg...

Looks like Roddy Creek Bridge in Thurmont

I saw the sideways boogie man gotcha. I saved, spun, and edited an upright pic for you. I hope it stays upright!

**special-K** · 10-30-2022, 08:19 AM

I stopped and took a picture there before myself. A friend has the second place toward town on the right, old stone house. That truck is a genuine K/30, now that you created it that way. And a shortbed GM never built, too. GM never did this but you did, all GM!

underliner6 · 12-15-2022, 03:28 PM

The snow makes a nice backdrop.

**special-K** · 12-15-2022, 09:45 PM

Nice picture. Nothing like rolling along on the snow in a K/20.

I wish it was in "A" garage... Or under a carport ... or a shade tree.

Nice! Is it just me or does that truck look like it could be a model we put together when we were kids(or adults, I still play with them lol)
