This is the start of the center console for the crew cab. I’m think about making these to sell if anyone is interested. All aluminum center console it will use a stock blazer or suburban center console lid and cup holder. It will have room for some switches in front of the cup holder.

My upcoming build is an 87 K20 Suburban, currently all stock with a homemade grill guard and roof platform and a Rhino Liner black paint job, but I've sourced out an 8.1, NV4500, 203/205 doubler, Dana 60 and 14 BFF that will all be going in, as well as a 4" or so lift and probably 37's. The goal is a poor man's version of Wilomet's Suburban, and/or Project Unbreakable from Motor City Trucks show. I want to be able to drive it on the highway to get to remote hunting/camping spots, maybe Moab, or other adventures with my 3 boys. I don't have a photo handy, but I'll post something up when I get a chance.

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?

Finally getting a chance to share some info about myself. I'm in Northern Colorado and enjoy wheeling rocks and snow. My K5 is being built to be a reliable family camping rig capable enough to tackle some of the harder trails to get away from the front range crowds. Here are some specs: 1974 K5 Blazer Sbc 350 Sm465 Np203 '86 cucv Dana 60 w/4.56s, ox locker, ORD crossover steering, Redhead box '86 cucv 14 bolt w/4.56s, Detroit, Barnes 13 bolt shave cover 4" TC Ez ride front 56" rear with DIY4X ez inch and shackle flip 35x12.50r15 MT Baja Boss Warn 8274 York OBA with tube front bumper air tank
