Re: Creamsicle: My 70 K10 SWB is about to get sweeter

So here are some of the plans for my K10 SWB refresher:
  • Pull 307/SM465 and replace with 5.3L/4L60E combo (DONE)
  • Reseal and update NP205 transfer case (DONE)
  • Remove bench seat and replace with factory buckets and rebuilt console (DONE)
  • New Carpet (DONE)
  • Remove original fuel tank and replace with under-bed tank (DONE-Ricks Tank, made in Texas)
  • Update wiring (DONE-AAW Classic Update)
  • Vintage Air AC (DONE-Also added VA latest heater/AC control)
  • Ididit tilt steering column (DONE)
  • Dakota Digital gauges (DONE-Dakota Digital RTX with BIM-01-02 module)
  • Updated stereo (DONE-RetroSound stereo with Kicker front & rear speakers)
  • LS aluminum radiator (DONE)
  • Headers and exhaust (DONE-Speed Engineering Headers and polished SS exhaust)
  • New steering gear (DONE-Readhead steering gear)

Additional items not originally planned:
  • Firewall and cab floor insulation kit (DONE-Quiet Ride Solutions)
  • Custom bed floor with fuel filler (DONE-Smokey Road Rod Shop floor with 2" filler by Boyd)
  • Skyjacker drop pitman arm and drag link (DONE)
  • New Dana 44 pinion seal and cover (DONE)
  • New Power Steering Pump (DONE-Part#15909834)
  • Dapper OE7 LED Headlights (DONE)
  • Custom made core support and engine covers (DONE-Still need prime & paint)

It's quite the laundry list. We'll see how it goes.
