1969 K10 CST Full Restoration - Page 16 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**IronCanine** · 06-13-2020, 09:58 PM

After more than year in NorthEast Georgia with me, we finally loaded up the truck for the trip to my brother's. Pulled out at 6am and arrived exactly 3 hours later. We packed a little surprise for him (one that you'll appreciate Pete)...a set of freshly painted rallys (OLDYELLOW signature series). My brother has always wanted those darn rallys on there. But he better have some super crisp center caps and trim rings if they're going on this truck!

It was a fun day...felt more like a christening as we received a mini parade of family and friends (responsibly of course) to check it out. Who knows what the future holds for the truck. That's up to him. But much like the birth of baby...the pain fades and is often forgotten (says the dad). And all I seem to remember today is the fun.

She looks good in the South Georgia sun!

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-14-2020, 05:45 AM

Looks great out in the sun. I hope he keeps it for a very long time. The clouds reflecting on the hood. The shine is amazing

**DeadheadNM** · 06-14-2020, 09:20 AM

Spectacular job guys! Brad thanks for the updated photos.

If your brother needs a nice set of caps for the rally wheels have him reach out to me. I've got the take-off NOS set that were briefly used on my Blazer but the trim rings went to another member.

Cheers

**davischevy** · 06-14-2020, 11:23 AM

You are a better man than me. I couldn't give it up.

chewychevy67 · 06-14-2020, 12:22 PM

So now you have freed up space for your next project. Wonder what that's goona be?

Thanks Dale...It was a beautiful day with a gorgeous sky and I took a bunch of pics for that reason. I'm also resigned to the fact that he may not keep it long. She might get put in a reed basket and pushed down the Nile very soon, we'll see. It's his truck and I'm more than cool with it. I have learned that for me, the fun is in the process. And though I was often complaining, I had a lot of fun in this build.

You are always too generous. He's got some supposedly NOS caps...don't know about the trim rings. Neither have fallen under my eye. He was quick to point out the NOS back up light lenses to all comers yesterday and the kindness of a man named New Mexico from Wisconsin.

I think Pete's nailed it. I've got a 1970 K20 that is most definitely a keeper for me, but I've got some time. Eric is in fact about to start on a Ranchero Squire (he's finishing up a 72 Blazer now). To say he's not thrilled about working on a Ford car/truck...cruck? trar?...is an understatement. But it makes for some good natured ribbing. And it gives me time to get ahead of him with sub-assembly restoration and parts farming for the K20.

Thanks for "slapping it" in this thread....and for all your help and encouragement.

harrisoncole4 · 06-14-2020, 11:34 PM

Looking forward to the k20!

**1971Stepside** · 06-17-2020, 09:18 AM

Did someone say Rally wheels!!!???? Now that excites me...LOL

I love this truck and hope he posts pics of it monthly for all of us to see.

How about you build a nice square body just like it?

**DeadheadNM** · 07-11-2020, 08:32 PM

Thanks for taking us along on the journey. Sounds like it went to a good home. Congrats. I’m looking forward to the next one!

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-11-2020, 10:30 PM

Wow, a bit sooner than I expected but congrats on finding a new owner.....

Thanks boys. You are reliable comfort. If I'm honest, it was a bit soon for me too. I knew it was the likely outcome from the jump, but I did get keen on showing it and maybe even having it judged.

Unfortunately, 2020 has turned into a real Melvin (you may have noticed). Once the truck was finally complete, shuffling it off to an ACA or C10 National level event didn't seem like a real possibility anytime soon. And since bread is always better when it's fresh, now was the time.

I learned a lot and got my pics so I'm good. But gosh, I did hate to see the tow hooks go ;P

4burbon · 07-12-2020, 07:11 PM

Hate to see it go, but sounds like it found a good home. 2020 certainly has "turned into a real Melvin". Perhaps we should change professions and work on trucks for a living - definitely a safer proposition with just as many cuss words.

**davischevy** · 07-13-2020, 09:53 PM

I guess all good things come to an end. Melancholy sets in with me when I sell one.

What's next?

It'll be a while...but here she is. '70 K20 Z62. 538 two tone with a blue interior. She's mine and she's a keeper. Just parts accumulation and subassemblies for now. Maybe pull her into the shop in earnest sometime next year.

OLDYELLOW · 07-12-2020, 10:27 PM

It is bitter sweet to see her go. Always a pleasure working with IronCanine and can't wait for the next one... Molly will be ready to watch over it

Thanks Bud...my favorite pic of the build. Glad it made the thread.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-14-2020, 06:49 AM

I'll be watching that one too.......

**1971Stepside** · 07-14-2020, 10:18 AM

So, you're sayin I don't get to see it with Rally wheels on it...

I'll be okay....really.

Can't wait to see the next one.
