Not mine but I saw this on facebook earlier and now it's giving me the itch to lift my k2. Already have a lifted 02 so i want to keep this one stock. Must... resist... the... temptation...

My other truck…

20150107_170601_zpsc0607b54.jpgIt looks rough, but it's very solid. It's a 1991 C2500, no rust but needs paint… Plan on lowering it and swapping out the old 305 for something with more balls…

Westin Grille Guard (It's a heavy bitch!) High Flow air filter, chrome mirrors, door and tailgate handles, Weathertech floor mats. High intensity LEDS on the grille guard are next.

Went on an overnight camping trip in single digit weather with some buddies of mine. It was pretty cool considering we had each type of domestic truck (Ford, GM, Dodge). Took a couple pics

I made an earleir post with a photoshop concept of this build. Both are factory colors, Iridium (aka Tungston Metallic) on Victory Red. The lower 1/3 is entirely bed liner (Scorpion) color matched and metallic flake added .

Added the GMC Z71 fender badge and auto-fold tow mirrors and leveled it so far. Still to come (back-ordered) are DeeZee full length over the wheel well tool boxes, DeeZee black aluminium, louvered headache rack and I have just recieved the leather upholstery and am about to put in.

In the sun it looks black.

I’m already considering selling and starting over with my first instinctive color combination White on Red. If I keep it, rims and tires will be added.

I think the white and red in sort of the late 70's early 80's 2 tone design would look awesome.

Truck looks sharp, my next one might be black.

Haha thanks. It looks like you are pretty meticulous with your stuff as well but be ready to want to clean it constantly.

Your truck looks sharp! Have you thought about doing a slight tint on the headlights and taillights, just to help blend with the black? If anything, just to soften the contrast.

Thanks. I almost painted the inside of my headlights when I cleared them, but preferred the look they have now. And smoked tails just aren't my thing. The diminished light output and work just isn't worth it to me, but it can look nice.

    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
    • You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
