Re: 1982 K10 6.2 Diesel build
So I kinda sorta changed the direction of this project. I had mentioned that I have the whole other chassis that i'm going to completely overhaul so I can continue to drive and enjoy this truck and eventually when the frame, axles, fresh engine etc was done I was going to transfer the body to that frame and obviously fix the rust beforehand.
Then I got thinking, this truck as it is, is kind of special and I would really hate to take away a lot of the originality. It's pretty much 100% mechanically and i've been already going through and fixing cosmetic things while leaving it looking original. So basically, I decided i'm going to continue fixing this up but as a driver that can have scratches and a little "patina" to preserve some originality and i'm going to build a whole other truck off to the side the way I really want.
I have nearly every part including a very solid cab from the parts truck I posted earlier that i'll use and build from there. I probably won't get far on it this year yet so I won't start a build thread just yet. I will be focusing on this truck for now and getting it where I want it in the meantime. Why not have two squarebodys right?
