Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Thanks man, he's a great artist & really captured the vision I had of it. Would'a been a killer truck, but would'a also been so nice I wouldn't have wanted to use it daily & never could'a fit my whole family in there & gone to the lake or anything.... My crew cab will do all of that & more - so it'll end up best for me.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Uggg... I absolutely HATE the weekends over here!!! Nothing getting done to the truck, hardly get emails & worst of all it's just another work day for us... Oh well!
Trevor did find a filler neck mount at the pick-a-part this weekend so that's a plus! A little "worn", but nothing that can't be cleaned up to look as good as new before installing! Filler neck install is still not 100% complete, but hopefully this gets us one step closer! Also keeping my fingers crossed that the new motor & radiator make it in this week finally!!! |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Here's some shots of my old '79 Big-10. It's the one that the rendering above was made for. It had a factory 454/TH400 combo with a 12-bolt posi rear end. Would'a been sweet once all fixed up & lowered down but wasn't meant to be I guess...
 I did do the MSD ignition upgrade to it before selling it my friend & had bought a TON of parts for the project already... This is the truck that the rendering of the lowered grey truck shown previously was based on.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Great news from the truck front - the new Mast Motorsports engine arrived late today at the shop!!!! They'll be cracking open the crate tomorrow morning & should get me some pics by the evening! Still no sign of the Ron Davis radiator, but hopefully soon... Axle & other parts should be back from the powder coater tomorrow as well, so hopefully they'll be pics of those too!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Yeah, on that project's plan I wasn't looking for ANY chrome!!! Would'a been a really sick look too! With my current project it's a nice mix - chrome, semi-gloss black, white paint w/ semi-gloss rally stripes & red striping. Still not 100% on how the paint will turn out as far as the striping & all, but I'll get it locked down once the painters are all on board.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
And BTW - it's gonna look a lot better with a set of headers & the factory 3-pc intake cover on it - especially if Eggie does a killer pin stripe job on the covers!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Here's a few shots of the freshly powder coated rear axle. They still need to final assemble it & of course install the new Mag-Hytec cover, but it sure looks good!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Clutch parts still haven't made it back from the powder coater. Hopefully tomorrow maybe - either way I'll get pics posted as soon as I get 'em. They're just going to paint my front & rear brake calipers red like I want them since it's so much trouble to tear them down for powder coat but they'll still look great behind the wheels. Still no radiator - not sure why Ron Davis is taking so long...

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Sketches for the new radiator finally arrived at the shop for final measurements & approval... So hopefully we're very close to actually getting a radiator in for this thing! Better be one sweet set-up after all these delays!
