Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build

Semper Fi!! Thank you for saying hi.

No picture updates but so far I put forward the money to get the machine shop moving on selecting a block and starting the machine work. I was quoted $1560 for labor which includes cleaning the block, mag block, bore and hone with plates, install cam bearings, assemble short block, degree cam, file fit rings, deck block, align hone, clearance for stroker, install Pistons and rods, and balance.

I spent a few days researching parts distributors and located one that is veteran friendly which enabled me to purchase a rotating assembly. I am going with an Eagle rotating assembly part #12107030. Should be arriving on Thursday and hopefully by Friday I will have it at the machine shop.

I hope to stop by the machine shop tomorrow and check out the block and take a picture of it so I can post its progress.

Until then I keep looking at threads and watching all the videos I can to learn as much as I can. Any suggestions on videos regarding any part of restoring the truck would be much appreciated.
