Kentucky K5 sayin hey.

[lucky_strike]

Hey there. I figured every first thread should have a pic of your rig and some details.

It’s a 1981 k5 with a 1990 front clip. 350 4 bolt main with a cam and vortex heads. 6” custom ORD lead springs in front. 3” shackles flip and 3” custom ORD rear springs. 14 bolt FF rear end with a Detroit locker. 4 speed manual transmission with granny gear mates up to a sm465 transfer case. 3/4 10 bolt front axle. Currently installing cross over steering. 35” BFG mid terrains. 3:73 gears. Soft topper. Truck tail gate mod. Blah blah blah.

Nice looking K5, I am partial to square bodies as I have had a couple but nothing like that.
