Re: 1972 k10 swb 4x4 custom 10 deluxe

They definitely lay the salt to the roads around here.. I wouldn't imagine its seen much salt since mid 80s but I guess the early years done the deed.. Its for sure from rear wheel spray. The frame from the forward most rear spring hangers to front bumper is excellent. The bed floor is great wheel wells are great , and even outer bed sides seem to be very solid but the lower inner bedsides have some rust and the rear frame around where the hangers are riveted on and the debris settled in them I guess ?? Im sure compared to a northern truck its in pretty good shape , but I thought id just state the worst details from the git-go !!! I've already almost talked myself out of the thought of selling but im just not sure when Im gonna have the time to restore it back to tip top shape.. I do just enjoy driving it as is and always have.. Ive gathered everything to fix it and I have the skills.. But a project at idle has always made me feel guilty ??
