Here is my old heep of metal. Its a 1989 GMC Jimmy with a sweet ass TBI 350 and 700r4. It has a chip, headers, bolt on chrome. Its kind of a hp machine. It was a Cali truck so there is no rust which is the main reason I bought it. There are dents but I will fix dent any day over rust. There was a lot of "mods" that the PO did that were too cool for me so they had to change.

Nothing crazy is going to be done with it really.

5.3
10b/14b
H2s and some tires
custom front and rear bumpers
small audio build
Paint, Flat silver metallic.

Sitting in old dude's driveway that I bought it from.

Front bumper that I built. Oh and since I am too cheap to buy a new grill I just painted it stain black.

All painted and access panel made for it. Not completely happy withe the cover but I can always change that later

Since the rear bumper does not cover everything I am going to build filler pans for it.

It fits better than this picture shows but it is hard to hold it and take picture at the same time.

However that is where I am at currently with it. Planning on working on the license plate side of the roll pan this weekend.

Thanks.

There is a swap meet in 7 hours that I am going to tomorrow so I might find something to waste my money on.

Plans may be charging. Trying to consolidating projects. The plan now is to sell the k5 to my brother in law and build the 77 short box that I was going to part out. Do most the same as in 5.3 swap and same lift. I get to keep my bumpers. I am going to do a different rear bumper but keep the front.

I need a pickup more than an suv.
