Vehicle Description
This three-owner 1979 Chevrolet K30 custom pickup is powered by a
2018 GM 6.2-liter L86 engine with a Texas Speed DOD delete Stage 1
cam kit (all-new lifters, springs, etc.) paired with an 8L90E
automatic transmission. The engine is equipped with an Atlas
2-speed GM case, 3.8, passenger drop with a VSS tail housing,
yoke-mounted parking brake, and Adams driveshafts front and rear.
It also has Dirty Dingo accessory brackets with PSC pump, a 200-amp
alternator, a new air-conditioning compressor and an LS3-style
water pump with adapters. The cowl intake utilizes an old heater
fan cowl opening and all the hoses have been converted to AN-style,
except the heater and radiator. The front axle is a passenger drop
Dana 60 with 4.56 gears, 35-spline ARB locker, RCV axle shafts,
Yukon locking hubs and NW Fab crossover/high steer arms. There are
new brake rotors, pads and calipers, as well as a Barnes 4WD diff
cover. All bearings, seals and joints are new. This truck has a PSC
2-wheel-drive steering box, reservoir and hydro-assist cylinder.
The rear axle is SRW 14-bolt with Barnes 13-bolt shave and cover.
It has an ARB locker with 4.56 gears, stock axle shafts with disc
brakes, DIY B52 front spring hangers with 52-inch rear springs, DIY
rear shackle flip with 56-inch rear springs, and Fox 2.0 shocks
with remote reservoirs front and back. This truck rolls on
Trail-Ready HD-17 beadlock wheels with 3.5-inch backspacing and
Maxxis Razr tires with balance beads. The truck was completely
dismantled, and all parts were blasted, painted, plated or
powder-coated. Everything was sprayed with epoxy primer and several
coats of single-stage urethane. The interior has been modified with
Dakota Digital HDX gauges that use the ECM to get engine and
transmission info (such as gear, temp and oil). Dakota Digital
cruise control works with the ECM. The interior features a rebuilt
tilt steering column, Bluetooth stereo (no head unit - the plan was
to use a tablet for things like music, cameras and maps) and
Vintage Air. A console was built that holds the Atlas and
transmission shifters, storage and drink holders. It also has
storage slots with USB chargers on either side. The full Dynomat
interior features seats from a 2013 Yukon with electronic
adjustments and heat, including the rear seats, which are manually
adjustable sliders and maintain the flip-forward ability for
storage. All seatbelts are rebuilt from a late-model GM truck. The
pickup comes with its original Build Sheet, warranty paperwork and
owner's manual, as well as receipts for work done by the previous
owner.
