I bought a 1968 k10 with running 327, 4 speed, 4x4, and drove it home for 3500, I plan on doing a frame off restore, lq4/4l80/205 drivetrain, 4 inch lift,
33x12.50 with aluminum slot wheels, convert e-brake to the 71-72 truck style, install rear mount tank, like to paint the truck a candy root beer copper color, he are some pictures from when I first bought it to were I am now. ( only been working in it for about a month)

Love it! I've never been into 2x4 trucks. I'm a sucker for 67-72 4x4s!

Nice project- is the body pretty solid? This will be a sharp truck when finished!
