Hey Mike,, Thanks for your interest in my build. I have seen other similar builds,, except without the floor/firewall graft. As far as I know,, mine is the first build using this combination and the only one with the graft. I have also done a lot of extensive frame, bed and body mods as well as rust repair,, which takes a lot of time. I have been building this for ten years now,, through job losses, divorce, pandemics and all of life's other crap it throws at you. Being just one guy working on this,, I feel like I'm doing pretty well. Thanks again for the interest and check back soon,, more (pretty cool) updates coming soon!!

Glad to see you're still around. Since I last posted to this thread I decided to go a similar route as you. I have dug in pretty deep but winter is coming soon so all I'll be doing is rust repair during the cold months. The Tahoe will have to be wrapped up for the winter without the C10 cab on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the updates from you.

Okay,, sorry it's been a while for updates,, it's was a pretty hectic 2020/2021!!
I have done a lot of work on what I think is a pretty custom bed. Check it out.

Nice work on the truck and boat!

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

That's a bundle of work. I like the compartments inside the bed.

You have been very busy. Things look good and glad to see ya posting more on it.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Thanks Mike!! Working on getting the new engine started up,, maybe this weekend! :metal::metal:

Thanks Mike!! I plan on doing a lot of road trips with this truck,, I like to take along tools and stuff,, so the compartments should come in handy. (anti theft)

Thanks Bill!! I'm still plugging along on this adventure!! Thanks for your continued interest!! :metal:

Wade, very nice to see you back on here and nice work there!

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Thanks Ryan!! Sorry I haven't been around for a while,, Things are starting to calm down. Hopefully I'll be posting more stuff soon. :uhmk:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

I'm really digging the bed modifications Wade, good job! :metal:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Life happens! Glad to see it's still coming together, I like the hidden latch. Make sure you build in some type of backup to get them open. Your boat transom is probably stronger than ever.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Thanks!! One of those ideas I've had kicking around in my brain for years! :uhmk:

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
 

Yep,, I thought of that. Plan to run a hidden release cable,, don't tell anyone!! :lol:
