Re: 85 K10 Build
So that brings me to where i am today. The truck looks pretty good but there is some rust. One cab corner has a small bubble, the inner fenders have rust, and the drivers side floor is pretty bad. No big deal, still a nice truck for NY and definitely workable. My plans are to build a chassis for it, then do the body work, then just place the body on my freshly rebuild chassis.
A couple years back i bought a rolling 82 chassis from a guy not too far away. Looked really clean until i got it home and realized that it had previously cracked at the rear shock mount and was welded very poorly, causing the whole frame to sit crooked. Rookie mistake, but I've since learned that they like to crack at the shock mounts and sometimes at the gear box. I only paid $200 for the chassis and I'm going to be using the 8 lug axles so it wasn't a huge deal. The rear end is a 14 bolt FF and i believe the front is a heavy duty 10 bolt. I could be wrong.
