Hey guys!
new to the forum, been watching and reading for a few months and finally decided to create an account and show you all my '77.
I got my pickup when i turned 16 and have had it ever since....(im 23 now)
It is a 1977 K20 3/4 Custom Deluxe. Original 400sbc blew up on me (no fun) so now she has a 383 Stroker that i built in '07. I have contemplated selling her for along time....just never could post it for sale
. But finally after some good friends motivating me and seeing everyone's builds on the forum i have decided to break out the wrenches. I don't think i will be doing anything too crazy with it, but hey you never know! With how many ideas you guys throw out there it's never ending!
First thing im tackling is the body. The bed was pretty badly rusted in the common areas, there was also a real bad bend in the front bed panel.
Taking the bed off was simple..........just wish we had some more helping hands, it was only 2 of us
For all of my body parts it's going to cost just $640 shipped. That's for a set of brand new fenders ($71ea), cowl hood ($391) front bed panel ($74). Personally for all new steel i think that is a pretty good deal!
(Especially after seeing how much things cost for my roommates' C5 Corvette he's building....but trust me that thing is going to be WILD)
Thanks for reading guys and i will keep you all updated on my build!
