1993 Chevy K2500

[Jason and Cayce]

This is our chevy 93 k2500 regular cab long bed 8600 gvw with a 350 tbi motor, 4l80e trans 241c transfer case, and 4.10 gears front and rear. It was a south carolina forest truck for the government so its a "HD". Paint job looks better after clay bar compound polish and waxing but it still need to be painted. It is pealing in some spots and has little dings.

Ac was full of pine needles and carolina dirt removed headers and cut out the obnoxious exhaust from previous owner

Here is the "ultimate" tbi mod i did. No super fancy tools. Improved throttle responce made it a little peppier not so much for hp. Also put new injectors and a 14 psi fuel pressure regulator spring, injector spacer throttle body smooth bore

Update on interior all the ac parts came in replaced heater core, door actuators evaporator core, heater element, blower-motor and painted the dash black

Nice work, it's gonna be a nice ride.

New exhaust manifolds came in and got installed. The "cool it" sound/heat insulation also got put in. Well at least the floor is done.View attachment 84473View attachment 84475

Nice work, it's gonna be a nice ride.

Thank you sir. Hoping my wife keeps letting me get parts. Lol

 

[Jason and Cayce]

Finally got new carpet and interior mostly back together. Some old parts were to far gone so i have to find some junkyard parts for the interior. Also got the hi-lift mounted in the bed.

 

[Jason and Cayce]

Headliner and roof panels finally in! Also powder coated front tow hooks.

That's a good looking pickup.

Got some raptor liner roll on coating for Christmas from santa. This stuff is awsome. If your thinking about it just do it. Easy and less mess then any spray. Did front and rear bumper as well as the hitch. Plan on doing the truck bed in the same stuff. It has an almost lizard/snake skin look. Oh and way cheaper then paint so save some $$$. Took about an hour or less for everything then about a day to cur before i put it back on the truck you can handle it in about an hour or less. Just wanted to be on the safe side.

 

[Jason and Cayce]

Replaced the parking lights with clear lenses and led bulbs off amazon. There pretty much as bright as my hids. The corner lenses aren't a perfect fit but i got it close enough to screw them in. These pictures where taken before the grille was redone and the bumpers where raptor lined. Ill get better pics up soon!

Awesome restore!

 

[Vadim]

Great job on the build so far. I have a k2500 myself. Started my build process here but I noticed there was a full size rig sections which is primarily made up of full size pick ups so I had mine moved over there.

 

[Jason and Cayce]

Thanks!

Next up is going to rebuild the 9.5 14 bolt semi float rear diff. i have never rebuilt a diff so its on my list and same with the 9.25 front diff later on. Still deciding if I want to do lockers or some sort of posi.

Vadim how did you get yours moved over I made this before they had a full size section?
