Looks good Steve. You gonna bag it?

greens69 · 01-02-2007, 12:10 PM

Thanks Ken.... No bags..... just the way it sits is good for this truck..

babyJay · 06-03-2007, 01:08 PM

Here's a few of my 79 K20...some HillBilly put the wrong headlight trim and fender emblems on it b4 I got it.

It's a cool truck, like all the chrome, and the fog lights in the bumper don't look outta place like many other models would. As for the grille, the one you have is actually way cooler than a model-correct one like mine

babyJay · 06-05-2007, 07:37 AM

Thanks. I love this truck. Bought it on e-bay with no engine/trans/transfer. It had a Western snow plow bracket on the front and no bumper. I bought the new brackets and that bumper from LMC. I'm going to post a review about it on the board some day. The rest of that chrome was on it already, and I have no idea where the piece above the grill on the front of the hood came from, but I'd love to find out. Someday I have to peel all that off and re-paint.

joe14 · 01-16-2009, 05:07 PM

hey ostncoln how much drop is that and what kind of rims are those they look nice

killthewabbit · 01-02-2007, 04:20 PM

greens69

How much of a drop, and what kind? 3/4 spindles/shackles/hangers?

greens69 · 01-03-2007, 07:52 AM

I used DJM lower control arms and a DJM flip kit in the rear. Which came out to be a 3/5 drop.

This is my 1981 C10. Just bagged the front on shraeder valves. Back is dropped 6" with Flip kit and belltech drop shackle. Running 15x8's on all 4 corners with 255-60x15 tires up front and 275-60x15 on the back.

Hey moto,
I really dig your truck.I like the under construction will i drive it look

What are your plans

moto67 · 01-11-2007, 04:44 AM

haha.. thanks.. funny, a lot of people have said they like it the way it is .. beatup.. it's my daily driver when I'm not riding my motorcycle.. The interior is suprisingly pretty clean. The windows are tinted dark..at night you can't see in the cab at all. I need to get a new bed this one is shot. Clean up the cab with a new quarter panel and weld some holes. Get it media blasted and painted. Those are the main things.
A next door neighbor years ago had a nice swb cheyenne that I lusted over. Ever since I've been looking for one. I found this one cheap.

It's got a 350 4bolt dropped in it.. .. suprising how you can rail around the corners with these trucks lowered. It's a super stiff ride .. no sway at all. When I first got it .. I was thinking oh man it needs a lot of work what was I thinking. I already have 2 motorcycle projects. That night I got it the girl I was seeing thought it was pretty cool.. liked the width of the cab.. and the couch like red seat, she wanted to have sex in it. Never questioned it after that. I love Cheyennes!

steemin_ehman · 01-11-2007, 05:49 PM

heres my project, its awaiting paint and assembly. its going lambourgini orange. 300hp 350/350 combo

killthewabbit · 01-11-2007, 08:05 PM

Nice in progress stepside, steemin! I am now searching your old posts to see if I can find specifics on what you've done to your ride.

BTW, where is Craik, SK?

Sounds cold!

Did you build that entire front rollpan/bumper yourself, or is there a front roll pan somewhat mass-produced for our trucks? After seeing that, my bumper all of a sudden looks really clunky and awkward.

actually its not really that cold up here, so far this winter its been warmer than -15 degree Celsius which is about 5 Fahrenheit. (not cold AT ALL) its just been this past week thats been -40 with windchill lol (-40 fahrenheit?) yea pretty cold anyway...my trucks definately a summer truck.

me and my dad fabricated the front roll pan our selves. right from the rear box corners of a 89-98 chevy truck and some flat sheets of steel. it took a while to get right, but im more than happy with the way it turned out! i have some pictures of the roll pan progress here im still workin on that site so if its kinda all over the place, thats why lol
