Re: Crash's 72 K10
Looks like you have a plan to fix the bed. Your blaster works great. I need to get one of those as much as I hate blasting......
It was good to finally get to see your build in person. The pictures don't do justice to how good it really looks in person. You have a top notch build going. This truck will be super nice when done. Don't sweat the progress. This time of year is lake time..... |

Thanks for the comments on the truck, it does not look as good as yours.. My hand brush paint job on the frame has a few runs... Right now I am just hoping to have it look good at 15 to 20ft ... lol. Your right about the summer, it is lake time... Have a great weekend.... |

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Very nice! It looks like the cab fits like a glove. It must have felt like a huge accomplishment to have all those parts mounted up. At least there is light at the end of the tunnel. Can't wait to get my cab painted and back on for good.
Did you consider mounting the computer behind the engine like 68 short step does on his builds? It will get the computer out of sight. Not sure about your clearence? |

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Congrats on the cab work Mark! you did an awesome job on the rust removal and finally won the battle. You worked like a machine on that and make me feel lazy at times, but in a motivational way ;).
If I remember correctly GMC pauls carries Tri Plus/key parts body panels which you can buy in person at classic auto located at 89th and I35 (moore/OKC border) so no shipping there. i have a fender from there but I only test fitted it before tear down and all my panels where pretty off as far as alignment goes. Maybe call GMC pauls and Classic and ask them which brand steel parts they are using but I am pretty sure both sell Tri plus. For inner fenders a friend at work bought his for a 72 from certi fit in okc, they are lower quality panels but he said they fit great and they are only like $59 each. He also bought his fenders there and they look good and line up pretty nice but they are thinner than tri plus versions. also with these Oklahoma stores you can actually return stuff if you are unhappy with the fit. |

Thanks for the comments and the leads on the body parts... I still may go with the GMCPauls doors... but I will call Classic first... Once again thanks... |
Re: Crash's 72 K10
Another slow progress weekend.. Too hot and too close to the water.. ;)
I finally decided to mount the computer under the dash instead of on the driver’s side fender well. Cutting a hole in the area I just patched and primered was a little tough. But better now than later... http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230088.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230089.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230093.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230094.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230095.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230096.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230097.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230098.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230099.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230100.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230101.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6230102.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6240103.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6240104.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6240105.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6240106.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/P6240107.jpg I am going to build a bracket to mount the relays, CB, and TAC that attached to the bolt that hold the brake and steering column bracket to the firewall. I think I will also order some doors from GMCPaul tomorrow… |

Re: Crash's 72 K10
This weekend (Sunday morning.. spent all day Saturday on the beach with family and friends) I worked on a mounting plate to attach some of the wiring components needed for the LSX swap. Also, created a plate that bolts to the brake pedal support. I then created a plate to attach the new fuse box to.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Very nice progress Mark! I'm glad you're figuring out all the wiring mods. That way when I get ready to mine, you can walk me through it :)

Re: Crash's 72 K10
nice build...

Re: Crash's 72 K10
WOW I have been watching/reading your build thread, nice work and fast too,I like the modern engine and trans use. I have a 70K10 Lwb that I will be building as soon as I get done with a few other projects . I have decided after following your build that I too will use a modern powertrain setup. Everything looks great. I have a question or two if you don't mind? the trans you are using is a 4 speed correct? next are you planning on using the stock column? it is setup for a 3 speed trans. I went to to Costco today and was thinking about that as I drive an 08 Z71 silverado 4X4 with the same trans I think and I just got to thinking!!
keep up the good work. |
Re: Crash's 72 K10
Very, very nice job! Cool to see another okie building a SWB 4x4!

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Very nicely done wip. Great scores on the sand blaster and press. Nice to see this rig coming back to life again and all the faults being corrected like that crooked crossmember. Golf cart looks very sharp too btw.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Very nice work on the wiring and mounts. I like what you have going Mark. Keep the updates coming.
