K30 Crew Cab Sierra Classic Build Up
CJGuy:
Figured I’d start a build thread on here as I go along building and restoring this 1986 K30 crew cab. It’s got a real nice interior, power everything, cruise, tilt, and is a factory 6.2/4 speed stick combo. I bought the truck from a fella who wanted to keep the axles, so he dropped it off in my driveway, we blocked it up, and he tore out he diffs
I quickly found a 14 bolt and put a Dodge 60 I already had back under it to get it rolling. Unfortunately the dodge diff was all piled up and mangled, and wouldn’t turn. So the truck could drive in a straight line only
So I borrowed the front GM 60 from a 79 crew cab parts truck I happened to be sitting on

Put some proper tires onto the thing so it looks a lot better now. Has a lift from the previous owner, not sure how much but it’s pretty tall. Big blocks in the back
While the eventual plan is to swap out the 6.2 for something just a bit more exciting, for the meantime I’ve picked up an NV4500 so I can actually drive it on the highway. The 6.2 will stay until all the body work is done

Looks good. I tried to buy a restored CC with the same colors on it a couple of months ago. Someone beat me to it.

How about just upgrading to a turbo charged 6.2? It just seems like the right engine for a K30, and should be a straightforward swap/upgrade.

Found a steal of a deal on a 96 Ram 2500, so I may do right away with the 6.2 and put it something a little more exciting from this parts truck
