Well, I've got my 89' K5 that I just kinda drive and work on when I have time. It needs a lot of work but the drivetrain is mostly sound and bulletproof. I'll just list the mods and then my hopefull mods. I don't off-road the vehicle regularly so its mostly a mall crawler.
Truck is power everything from the factory and it all works except for the cruise control. AC is ice cold.
Current Mods:
-GM tbi crate 350
-true dual exhaust thats falling apart
-th350 w/tci manual valvebody(soon to be freshened up with more BEEF)
-B&M torkmaster tq converter
-Derale dual core trans. cooler, going to work on making the elec. fan work with it soon
-241c, I had it inspected, new shift fork pads were installed otherwise in great condition
-10 bolts F & R, front has 3.73's, rear has 2.73's, I have a plan!
-fresh brakes all around
-new shocks all around
-new steering stabilizer
-32x11.5's timberline A/T on 15x10 black steel rims
-Lowe's home made carpet
-02' silverado front bucket seats w/seatbelts
-cd/mp3 player w/aftermarket speakers
-------------------------------------------------
Future Plans:
ASAP Plans
-rebuild the tranny w/Alto rebuild kit and such. <--- Did you know? Alto makes the entire rebuild kits? Plant is 15 mins. from my parents house. This is going to happen when I get home from offshore on Nov. 13th.
-aluminum wheels, I've got my eye on some if the guy doesn't sell them before I get home.
-B&M trans gauge
-B&M deep tranny pan
--------------
-tint windows
-finish interior
-paint everything
-Possibility going to take advantage of this!

Possible future with the redheaded co-pilot? I sure hope it works out. We've dated here and there for the past 6 years. More off than on dating. I was nervous about what she thought about the truck. After a trip to the beach on the way home she asked if we could roll the windows down. Well yeah we sure can! Her only complaints were that she needs a small step to get inside, and replace the center console with a jump seat. Said she feels like she is light years away from me sitting in the passenger seat. Now if I can just keep from screwing this up, life will be good.
