Project: "Junkyard Resurrection"
Well,I picked this up in a local junkyard in early July.I had to act quick because it was to be crushed.I asked them how much they wanted for it.They called me replying that $350 is what they wanted for it.I borrowed a
3/4 ton Silverado and trailer and was up there to get it the next Saturday. Here is how it looked still sitting in the junkyard: Last edited by 1969k10stepside; 12-04-2007 at 08:17 PM. |

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
I ran the numbers when I got it home and turned out as a 71 SWB K10.It originally had a 292 and a 4 spd.It had towhooks which are gone as well as a tach.It has a 6 inch lift as well as a 3 inch body lift.I first took off the body lift then put on a front clip off a 69.Here is how it looked at that point:

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
The clip is back off now.The doors are off, and the cab is stripped.I originally planned on using that cab but it I will use my 71 A/C cab.I will have more pics tomorrow of it now.I forgot to mention the 6 inch lift is off so I can replace it w/ a 4 inch all spring lift.

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Looks like a pretty darn nice start for a junkyard "indiana" truck. I would LOVE to have a 4x4... it's just not feasable for like the next 5 years

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
The frame is solid but has had alot of extra holes drilled in it for different exhaust systems,etc so I am going to weld them up before its powdercoated.I am going to go take the dual exhaust off now...

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Well,I spent the day removing the body which turned out good and easy since I have pulled cabs,beds,etc off of these trucks several times.
This week I am welding up unneccessary holes and getting it ready to be powdercoated.Here is some pics of it now and the short fleet sitting on the trailer till I am ready to work on it. Last edited by 1969k10stepside; 11-13-2007 at 08:59 PM. |

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
If that 2nd truck in pic at the salvage is where I think it is at, (off of I35 and Milam rd) you probably couldn't get it for 10 times what you have in yours.

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Ok,I got the frame in the garage finally and began taking off the old wiring and brake lines,etc.I have the passenger side frame cleaned and ready to be sandblasted.The drivers side is almost done,hopefully its powdercoated by the end of next month.Btw,I bought some wheel dollies for it and is it alot easier to work on being able to manuever the frame around in the garage.
Here are a few pics Last edited by 1969k10stepside; 12-31-2007 at 10:13 AM. |
