Hey guy, new to the forum but not a stranger to the square body's at all. I'm the past I've owned a '81 C10 with a 250 and 3 on the tree, a '85 long bed 4x4 on 35's, and a '87 lifted 10 inches on 40" gumbos with a '94 corvette LT1 swapped into it and growing up my father had 2 suburbans so I guess you could say it's in my blood lol. Any how, I recently acquired my first K5. Well, GMC Jimmy lol. My first one an was kinda iffy about it at first but after taking it wheeling a few times and having my 3 year old in the back with the top off he fell in love with that and I really like the short wheel base. I got it in May/June. I've taken it wheeling ALOT! It has the 350tbi/700r4/241C. Drive train is 100% stock with the exception of a aluminum 3 core radiator. It has a 6 Rough Country lift with 33" all terrains. It now so 144k miles on it. The guy I got it off of bought it off a older Gentlemen who had it as a show truck. Diff covers and driveshafts where painted silver, blue wire loom on all the brake lines and fuel lines under the truck, frame and everything underneath is painted gloss black, had hand painted graphics on the side with fender flares and aluminum step bars and the inlays of the dash where hand painted. I also belive the truck used to be a government or park vehicle because I live in the rust belt and ignore only has rust in the driver side rocker and it's not even that bad. Plus after poking around I found cracked bondo on the driver side A pillar and after pulling on it, it fell out and there's a hole drilled there for a spot light and there's also bondo cracking on the top of the driver side fender from what I'm guessing was a antenna when there is one on the passenger side. The dash has little holes drilled into it from what looks like a cb, the mic for the cb and a ewe other things. The truck had blue house carpet in it and that's the first thing I ripped out followed by the flares and step bars. The Jimmy is pretty bare bones, no center console (bought a matching blue one for it) no rear plastics and had no speakers when I got it. However it does have power windows, power locks, A/C, and power rear window. I just recently did a full complete tune up. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor button, distributor pick up, air filter, pcv valve, fuel filter, oil, oil filter, trans pan gasket, trans filter, fuel filter, and then I had the master cylinder go out which caused my front brakes to drag and I noticed the pads where worn so I just replaced the master cylinder, both calipers, pads, and then noticed the driver side wheel had slop in it so I did inner and outer wheel bearings and wheel seals on both sides. Took her wheeling and ended up bending the tie rod in the front, shoved it into the steering stabilizer and diff cover so I just replaced both tie rods, the adjusting sleeve and steering stabilizer. I've done other small things like window tint and a stereo and such. Well, any how, thanks for reading my little book here and I hope to meet some new guys an gals here and of course learn new things and maybe share some knowledge. Oh, by the way, the jimmy is the last year for the square body full size. It's a '91. First picture is of when I got it and then some wheeling pictures and then of how she sits now.
