Another project that’s been in the making... he got a complete smile
(thanks again Pete) I need to play with the alignment on the front clip a little bit, but its on there and everything works... I also added a new set of repro chrome sill plates but I don’t have a picture of that. I’ve got a few smaller things to do this truck like redoing the windshield rubber and re sealing the drip rails, and the motor swap once I get around to getting the temporary vortec 350 finished up. I’m also gonna probably drop my Dana 60 and disk 14 bolt Along with the 4” lift kit under it that I’ve got in the shop. Once all that is done I’m likely going to pull off of this truck for a while and try to get my K10 on the road.
I’ve been gathering more parts for that build lately. I’m not going to go to the same extent on that build as I have taking this one to the frame and back. The K10 is just going to get the motor currently in this truck, along with the axles that I’m pulling from this truck for now until I feel like tackling the rebuild on the 1/2 ton axles and brakes. I’ll likely add a hydraulic clutch and hydraboost to that one too. I’ve also got to fix the front frame where it cracked and was repaired at the steering box. Now that I’ve got this one pretty reliable and drivable I’m going to enjoy it for a while after I get everything I mentioned earlier done. Following all of those things, maybe sometime next year I’m going to dive into the LS swap. And then paint.
