Hi All.
Whats up everyone, excited to see what everyone has and learn some things! Here is a little of what i had to do to get it to where it is now. Finishing up the interior and windows. Maybe it will be road worthy by Christmas.

Center console lift Being made
I can’t Take credit For making My Own product, I’m lucky enough to have found an awesome manufacture That can do anything I can dream of. This is the production of our console lift And I just love watching the press make it look like no work at all!!!!

@James Walker true, I actually wanted to find a new one because mine was rotting. I ended up welding some new metal into and just making it good enough for me.
Happy Friday everyone.
What are you all working in this weekend. Any progress going to be happening on the squares. I’m finally starting my front 57” Spring swap on this beast. And swapping to a 91 style front because I destroyed my last core support.
Happy Friday everyone.

Couple of pics of the interior coming together....new headliner, door panels, and interior trim installed.
Headers
The stock manifolds were pitted and leaky… so I did the right thing and just put headers on. The drinker side is pretty tight to the driveshaft but it doesn’t look like there’s much place else for it to go

@Jason Whitten i put a 4" lift on my k5 and 35's, possibly why my driveshaft isn't an issue. also installed the cross member lowering kit so that probably also helps with clearance.

@Jason Whitten Haha!! Yeah, nobody wants you to do that!🤣
57” Front Spring Swap part 3
Stayed up late last night and finished the driver-side bracket mock-up — and I’m seriously loving how it turned out. Yeah, it’s a little bulky, but it has to be. This bracket drops the shackle under the frame, ties into the body mount, and adds strength where these K5 frames really need it. We’re running a factory-length rear style HD shackle up front (around 4–4.5”), hoping the shorter design keeps side-to-side deflection down and helps stability. The 3-inch leaf springs might be soft, but we’ll know more once it’s on its own weight. If needed, I’ll add a leaf. Still gotta measure pinion shim angle once everything is sitting right. Bracket #1 is done — onto the passenger side next. What do you guys think of this setup so far?

That's cool. Are you gonna box in the frame in that area too?
