[QUOTE="andymarkv, post: 16607256, member: 102900"] I was looking for a project Reg-Cab, V8, Manual 4x4 to buy & fix up when I realized...I can just tinker on Dads '95 K2500! I love my Dad, but this truck is just his motorized wheel barrow that gets ZERO love...He thinks I'm CrAzY for wanting to clean on it! I had polished wheels on it, but that was a poor choice on my part due to no maintenance. So I took a page from the '67-72 guys and got some 93-97 3/4 ton Ford Accuride steelies. They have a more aggressive offset, 1/2" wider(16x7) and have a "dished" look. Plus painted wheels are maintenance free! Its leveled with old 265/75/16 KO1 BFG's and I stuck 2" rear spacers on it to correct the weird trackwidth mismatch from that vintage truck. What makes it cool to me is the stick! NV4500 that shifts like a bus...but you're not going to bang gears in a truck like this. I did a '7427 ECM and Vortec 350 swap years ago...but am now trying to readdress the tune. Hopefully I can [i]finally[/i] make a TBI engine run well!
