I have a 1985 with some goodies.... If I can ever get this photobucket thing figured out maybe I will post some pics up.

^^^ upload the photo(s) then copy the [img] code and paste here. If you want to post multiple photos, check the boxes you want then at the bottom on the left select choose action >> generate code for selected and select click the box with the fullsize [img] code (4th box down) it should copy all when you click it, then just past it in here.

Damn, that's just what i'm looking for. I'll be honest - i'd rather find one with all the parts there and then take a project over. Rather than find a stock one and start from scratch. I want a VERY simple rig.

older trucks/k5s are simple. its the new ifs trucks that complicate it

He let it go for just north of $5k if I remember correctly. This wasn't really a project. I would say it had 85% of the stuff you would want to do was already done.

I had a 1990 K5 when I was a lad. It had 99k on it when I bought it with just a puff of smoke at start up. Changed to synthetic and it went away. Drove that truck till it had over 200k on it with almost zero problems. 6inch lift, 35x14's, two 18 in Petras in the back with about 1000 watts on them. One of my favorite and probably one of the most reliable vehicles I ever owned. It was like a metallic red with a small pushbar and of course every red neck had a light bar. The cool thing is if you want a nice system you can pull the walls and re make them with 3/4 in board. They will hold a ton of sound equipment without the loss of room.

After I blew the 18's I wanted some room back. I built a box off of one side with a 15 and put my amps in the other side in the rear. I had two petras 6 1/2s on each side close to the arm rests, and then one ten right at the front of the panel on each side.

I've got an '86 with a fresh edelbrock performer motor. Got some miles on the body though.
