my 86 King Cab project

[Supermachine]

heres some shots of my 86 KK, it belonged to my grandfather and it was sitting in a field for 3 yrs before i got my hands on it.. it need some work, but overall is a very solid north carolina truck.

i brought it home, put a new alternator on it, new P/s lines gave it a bath and started collecting parts. it sat for the better part of the summer, and i have recently found a new drive to work on it..
sunday me and my friends lowered it, it's now got 3 inch blocks, pulled middle leaf, and cranked torsion bars. got it back on it's 17" silverado wheels :thumb:

well, thats how it sits now.. plans next are new carb, new headgasket, tuneup and fuel cell. then go over it well enough to get it ready for spring.
future plans are bodydrop, bags, KA motor swap, sunroof? and it'll be a flat blue with some striping and shop-style graphics on the doors. gonna keep it the "retro look"
thanks for looking!!!

[Mr.Ryan]

[O.G.Tierdrop]

[Supermachine]

and the obx shirt is a work shirt man.. got it when i got engaged in the obx

[$krap_IN_flesh]

looking good Dan

[O.G.Tierdrop]

got it when i got engaged in the obx

why the outer banks theres a bunch more places better that dare county...lol j/k i hate that shit hole wasted 9 years of my life there, and the only thing i learned there was how to surf, and drink a shitload of beer...and my parents still live there, so unfortuntally i gotta return...and why didnt you tell anyone when you where there...i used to live in wilmington for 5 years

[david29]

Old school 720's are nice. That one looks pretty good. Keep it going. One day you will be proud of it.
My 91 below started out as a rough truck. Now 3 years later and about $4000, its coming along nicely. Hell, I couldnt have paid on a new vehicle in one year of payments what I have in this truck. And get decent gas mileage.

[minitrkingking]

Your gramps it the shiiiit, that 82 is too clean.

[LowEnuff]

both those trucks are bad ass, man ur grampa know how to take care of them..

[newkiddraggin]

lmfao i wish my gpa kept my 720 that clean....but than again my gpa is a pack rat and looks like one of the oakridge boys lol

[dirty]

not a bad looking king cab. sound slike you got good plands for it and thats a pretty good rendering

[Supermachine]

thanks for the encouraging words guys!!
my grandpa is a TOTAL pack rat.. he used both trucks as work trucks for his plumbing business.. about 4 years ago my uncle, who's a painter in the greensboro area, took the diesel and basically restored it for him.
he's now diagnosed with alzheimers and doesn't drive any of them anymore
i'd like to have the deisel.. but i got the 720.. and i think my uncle will take ownership of the diesel someday..oh he also has a 520 that's stilling out back ROTTED to the ground

update.. engine's ALMOST back together.. carb is scheduled to be here monday
HOPEFULLY be firing it up next weekend.. still gotta mount the fuel tank/pump
raise the carrier bearing.. run new fuel lines.. fix the sloppy shifter. and get plates for it
don't have any seats.. so we'll see how that works???

[Supermachine]

update for this weekend..
took yesterday off to go to a car show
got up today.. engine's almost 98% back together sans carburetor which should be here tomorrow
got the bed off and the old tank out
going to mount a round spun loonium fuel tank in the bed, need to raise my carrier and wipe off the old sand and dirt on the frame
SHOULD BE STARTING IT NEXT WEEKEND!!

[Supermachine]

man.. this truck is kicking my ass..
went to unbolt/raise the carrier and realized the rubber was COMPLETELY dry rotted..
the driveshaft moves up and down about 2 inches..
another 80 bux for a carrier bearing and it must be pressed on.. theres another 40...
broke as shit now.. and still trying to get it to dropt/destroyed in 2 weeks..

[nisrod]

DO NOT take the cheap route and get a cheap carrier bearing,,,one year and mine has seperated!!!

[Supermachine]

i just got the one from advance?? it was like 80 bux i think

[93d21joe]

Looking good man.
What size tires were/are on the pathys? They look tiny compared to mine.

[Supermachine]

195/50 15's.. they're long gone..

[Supermachine]

well.. heres my update for today
got the weber on.. and almost everything under the hood buttoned up
i still have to run my fuel pressure reg and fuel lines but that shouldn't be too bad
driveshaft is back from getting a new carrier pressed on it 20 bux!!!!
taking off tomorrow to hang out with some friends, and get some inspiration..
friday's gonna be a good day i can feel it!!
lord willing this thing is gonna run by saturday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supermachine]

well.. friday was a GREAT DAY
it runs!! i'm so happy
still have alot of little things to do.. but gonna run out and get a plate for it and hopefully drive it before the weekend's over!!!

[Supermachine]

well.. with some help from my dad and my friend Joe.. my truck drove yesterday
i honestly CANNOT believe this thing ran again.. i'm not the best mechanic in the world and this is only the 3rd engine i've torn down that far. and the 1st OHC engine i've ever really worked on. it started IMMEDIATELY and ran. i haven't even adjusted the timing, it seems to run great. theres some issues with the carburetor but i can figure that out.
i don't have any seats yet, so i tossed a spare rim in the truck, put a sweatshirt on it, and took it for a drive.....it rides like total shit, but it's so much fun. i haven't had a driveable mini for 2 years

[$krap_IN_flesh]

good to hear dan can't wait to see it at drop n destroy

[Supermachine]

thanks duey.. i know it's not as wild as a build as some of the other trucks on here.. but it's mine, and someday it'll be cool..

[Supermachine]

well. i'm proud to say it made it all the way to dropt/destroyed in ohio this weekend..
it was about a 200 mile trip for us, and i had only very minor issues. i still need to work on tuning the carb. but it got us there. i did get some REAL seats in it, and the trip allowed me to make a mental list of what i need to do next. it drags on everything, which is cool.. and not cool at the same time.. i have some things to get done to it before i'd make another long roadtrip .. and i'm gonna sit down and make a list of what i need to do before spring
heres a pic of us @ the show..

[beatnbruised]

Good shit man. I can't wait to see this thing on the ground:thumb:

[mrsteveg]

awsome, i cant wait to see it laid out

[Supermachine]

spent wed/thursday gettign my raised carrier bearing crossmember made..
tried to get all the stuff that would inhibit me from laying out taken care of before i start the bag job
this actually turned otu to be alot more work than i had anticipated, but i am happy with the results
built from 2.5x2.5 square tubing, nothed for the carrier, well above the frame level
working on the lift made it all that much easier, i couldn't imagine doing this on jackstands
got about 10 hours into it start to finish

[beatnbruised]

That turned out really nice. Did you make a cutout for the exhaust or is there still enough clearance for it?

[Supermachine]

Should be enough clearance for it.. if not i'll notch it out when i get my exhaust made.
i ripped the exhaust off of it while i was in there, only have the down pipe..
made for a nice loud drive home!!!

[beatnbruised]

Lol I know that feeling. When before i bought my truck someone had stolen the catalytic converter and cut the pipe right after the downpipe it was a 40 mile drive home....with no radio haha.
