We used to four wheel a few K5s back in the day. Cool project!

Here is a progress report. Cab off the frame and fabing up some mounts to secure it to my trailer so i can move it around while I look for a rotisserie. Chassis will be cleaned up and painted black. Engine will be torn apart, cleaned up, and painted detroit diesel blue. Body will be the 09 GM color called blue slate metallic. All other pieces will be black. No chrome.

yeah...i tried to find one at a reasonable cost, but just couldnt. THey also have the J-code 6.2....the better one. On the other hand ive still got a 12 bolt, a 10 bolt, and all the creature comforts like AC. For the 35's im going to put on it and its weight, Ill be ok with those axles and the 700r4 in it.
