Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I've been compiling a list of parts for this truck so I can try to get it going before the new year. I did get a 73-80 front clip for it, so the newer one is off of it. We happened to get a rebuilt diesel 47rh, so now I have to get my triple disc billet TC re stalled for this truck. I've been talking with the wife and the sun visor is coming off, and the truck will be a magenta color with upper and lower mouldings. The interior is going to be black now. Since this is her truck, she's getting to make some calls. (I hope the color doesn't bite me in the...)

For a while i was wondering if this was going to get sacrificed for your 67-72 crew build

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
when this truck was lifted the 22inch?(ithink thats what you said) was it drivable? as far as steering and stoping? im thinking about doing this to a truck/suburban and i need to get a parts list. Did you ever have shocks on it? what all did you have to use to correct the steering? as far as drop pitman arm, steering block? what all did you have to use for that? Thanks and awesome truck

Mike, this truck is really on the back burner now. It's storage and a yard ornament until further notice. Haha

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
i think it will look great as the 76 it is... although im partial to the round headlights. and high hood. i have only owned 2 short beds.. and wasnt too fond of them as I tend to use my trucks as trucks.. that thing will be cool as hell but not sure about Magenta... but I guess that will discourage you from using it....lol

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
There may be hope for this truck yet. I sold the front doors off it and my friend who baught them put the GM doors I had laying around back on it. I'm picking up a different bed this weekend for it, and have plans to put a 12v p-pump engine in it with a NV4500 and maybe a 241c tcase in it. This will happen after I can actually drive the Longhorn. I want to put this link on here for the GM hinges so I don't forget to buy these for it as well.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Here are some pics of the different doors on it. Poor truck.
I will be going with the newer type of mirror that is on the LH front door. I have a pair of NOS mirrors I picked up a while ago for it. Plan is a cowl hood and a dark green metallic paint job with maybe a pewter center and new trim. We'll see if I can swing all of that.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I'm trying to stay with as many facrory pieces for the body as I can. But it's getting tough for these pre 81 trucks it seems.
Thanks to my brother Nick and friend Adam, we went and picked up another short bed for this today. I plan to use the bed sides from this bed on my old floor. This bed came with an access toneau cover, a rust free tail gate, and an aluminum fuel cell. Not a bad deal imo.

In the last 2 years I built a Suburban, an Excursion, and got my Longhorn done enough to drive around and tore it back apart. There just hasn't been enough time for this truck.

Re: 1976 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Short Box Cummins Build
It's time to knock the snow dust off this old thread............. I sold my 95 F350 and have decided to get this truck together. The truck is pulled out of it's resting spot, and waiting to get in the shop. I have started purchasing new parts for it already. I sold the front clip that was on it already. I ordered a new cowl hood, fenders, inner fenders, and hood springs from LMC. Then I ordered new 2.5" lift springs for the front, a rebuild kit, billet servos, lock up and over drive solenoids, for the 47rh, a steering box reinforcement plate for the frame, and new bed sides for the box. I'm going to put a P-pump 12v in it with a 47rh, and a 2nd gen dodge radiator and intercooler. Paint plans are up in the air. I may just end up painting it hot rod black so I can get it on the road. I have that material on hand, so it is the easiest at the moment. When we pulled the truck out, I noticed the RH rear door had some rust poking through on the lower inner seam. I traded for some rust free really nice black rear doors with body mouldings to remedy that. I have to fix the cowl where a DT466 slammed into it and rolled it back. Hopefully I can get it in the shop and get going on it in the next week or so.
