Towed mine from arizona to colorado without a problem behind my 06 duramax. Fuel economy sucked bad as the 105 is a navy model and has an aluminum structure on it. Still passed everything i wanted to up hill! Course i wish i hadn't bought the darn think as what i really need is a 101A3....anyone...
RE: Re: RE: auxiliary fuel tank
The 40 gallon tank was a factory option on the suburbans...not sure if it will fit without moding the xmember as i have not tried it yet.
The over the rear fender well tanks were made by Hickey Ent. back in the day for the first gen K5's...i have one original...
I have the complete NOS artic covers on my 79 K5. The covers were only part of the entire winterization kit which included diesel fired heaters and thick padding for the floorboards and sidewalls of the cab. Found mine on ebay years back...kick myself for not buying the entire kit.

Owning many K5's over the years i have found the perfect combo is a 4 inch lift with 33's.
Add traction devices to the rears and your in rather good shape.
I started with Auburn Pro series lockers and was quite impressed with what they could do.
Although eventually i moved on to a 6 inch...
Armada....besides being a 63B in the army i have owned one to many k5's in my lifetime...currently that number is 8...and its enough...hehehe.
In buying used K5's...or any K1-2-3 i find the magically moving steering wheel is a fairly common item.
I have heard of the UJoint equasion as...
Well....a new center pin from your local spring store is cheaper than the gear box.
And...it doesn't always necessarily cause a pull.
I guess in this situation the best thing to do is to start from scratch.
Jack up the left front from the axle tube unitl the tire is slghtly off
the ground. Have...
The steering wheel canbe recentered by adjusting the draglink...however this sounds like to me the classic chevy busted center pin in the leaf spring problem to me. I've owned many a K5 in my life and usually this is scene after bringing the truck out of 4x4 and returning to 2wd. But i'd also...
I'll keep that in mind when i bring her home. She's still in az as she was found by my bud who is the body shop manager for frieghtliner while out doing an estimate. Guessin track width would be the biggest issue besides weight rating.

The one i need to find is still in use by the military today and my reserve unit has plenty of them. They are called the HMMH....but we refer to them as a C truck as i was in a combat engineer unit (244th CEB Co. A Det 1) out of fort carson. I see the 10 manual is here under 5-2420-244-10.
