    SRW to DRW

    What would you take for them? Where are you located? What do you think it would cost to ship them to Florida for me? Can you please email me pics to [email protected]

    SRW to DRW

    Thanks for all the input, much appreciated. Any ideas where I can maybe find used spacers as well as used wheels and fenders. Unfortunately the exchange rate of the US$ versus ZAR is not in my favour at R14/$ and I need to try and save where I can especially because I have to still ship it...

    SRW to DRW

    Wow, thanks guys, a whole mouth full of info. I've seen the Arrowcraft kits on the net but they are quite pricey. I was hoping to find good used parts. Is the price of $300 for the spacers for K20 or K30 spacers? I think I'll be able to fabricate different rear spring hangers.

    SRW to DRW

    Hi folks. I'm sure this info is somewhere on this forum but I have no luck finding it. I'm lucky though to own a 78 K20 as well as a 85 K30. I'd like to do a DRW Dooley with the fat fender conversion on either one of them. I have a few questions. 1.Is the chassis on the DRW Dooley also narrower...

    Removing a few rear leafs

    Hi Jetman. The shortening was not difficult at all. I removed 355mm where the chassis was parallel and cut of 160mm from the end of the chassis as the K10 loadbin is shorter at the back as well. Fortunately I had a K10 loadbin so I did not have to alter the K30 loadbox. The drive shaft had to be...

    Removing a few rear leafs

    I have a 85 K30 which I shortened to a K10 wheelbase and I'm ecstatic about it. It drives nice, the turning circle is short, the whole feel is just awesome until you go offroad. This thing is so hard in the rear I'm thinking of getting a brazier and a kidney belt. The front feels hard but...

    85 Nose job

    I have a an "85 single square headlight with rectangular park light underneath" truck and would like to change it to about a "90 Blazer with the two rectangular lights with the longish rectangular park light below". I'd like confirmation what parts I'll need and if the parts will be bolt-on. I...

    To lift or not to lift

    Hey firebane, CSFJ & bucket. Thanks for all the input, reading you guys's posts help me a lot with insight into the bigger picture. The RHD conversion I know will sound silly to you guys but I really want to do it for practicality reasons. The cross over (maybe even high steer) steering looks to...

    To lift or not to lift

    Thanks folks, hey firebane, did you fabricate the kit yourself or did you use a specific brand? Are you happy with the ride after the conversion? Can you post some pics of the raised steering arm?

    To lift or not to lift

    Hey Mike, thanks for the fast response, small world with your brother in law being SA, he must be a good man, hehe. I'm going to do a RHD conversion (just for practicality reasons at our security booms at malls and toll booths) and I've read a lot about the cross over steering the guys do when...

    To lift or not to lift

    I'm sure I'm not the first guy with these questions but I'm fairly new at this. I got my hands on a 85 Military D30 but it has a 350 in it so I guess that makes it a K30. I got this truck running and I absolutly love this truck. Planning on doing a nice paintjob in 2016 but firstly I'm thinking...

    I thought I had this nailed....[front end pull]

    My initial diagnostic assumption would be wheel alignment with regards to the toe-in. But after reading it again I don't think it's alignment related because you would have experienced it while driving as well as seen inner tire wear. Could be the left caliper not functioning properly which...

    D30 m1008

    Yeah!!!:party36: Got it running and took it for a spin. I'm head over heals with this truck. Very happy with it. The 350ci runs well in this truck. Somehow the hold down fork of the transmission vacuum modulator fell off resulting in the modulator getting lost and I got stuck without gears in a...

    D30 m1008

    Any idea what the RPM would be at say 60 compared to the Blazer with 308 ratios. Will a 350ci be enough to pull the extra weight

    D30 m1008

    Hi folks, I got my hands on 85 M1008 D30 today which I'm very excited about. Unfortunately the diesel motor is gone but the TH400 transmission is present. I also do have a 80 Chevy Blazer which I thoroughly enjoy with 350ci and TH350 transmission. My question is this..What is the drivebility of...
