Had a significant setback last week. Cheap "Name Brand" Chinese water pump decided to come apart. Only had about 100 miles on it.

Cost me about $600-700 to repair. New radiator, US made water pump and went to an electric fan.

Interior ALMOST complete. Waiting on new upholstery for the seat. It's been on order nearly one month. Pedal covers complete, I have a working parking brake finally and glove box liner is installed (had to modify slightly for the ECM clearance.

Have new grill being shipped as well as the missing side molding.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

New grill and added "Cheyenne 20" emblems.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

It looks great.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Interior almost complete. Seat upholstery came from Brothers and I am REALLY happy with the quality.

Very good work. I love the ochre trucks

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Got it registered today in Nevada. Had to pass smog since I live in a smog county. Passed with no problems. VIN inspection at the DMV yesterday and it is officially registered in the state!!!

Installed a "period correct" old skool licence plate that I've been running for decades.

Looks,great. Congratulations on getting on the road.

Just finished my Vintage Air install. Everything fits and functions as it should. No fabrication was needed.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Seems to blow cold enough.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Love this truck!

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Nice!

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Awesome truck! Your build thread was a great read and you do some nice work. So nice you got to start out with a super solid truck as a great foundation to build on. What size are those KM3's you put on?

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Thanks. Definitely got lucky with a solid "core".

Tires are 285/75-16 mounted on 8 inch Weld wheels with zero offset. No rubbing anywhere. I hope to put a 2 inch lift on it soon. I'm "almost done"...famous last words.

Just added Billet "White" shift knobs....

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Very Clean truck
what a shame to leave it as a parts truck for so many years
Old school TPI have not seen one of those engines in years

Does that vintage Air throw out enough heat to keep the windows clean in winter ?

I am doing the same kinda thing with one of my trucks going the vortec route

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

...shame that it sat, but good for me!!!!

I will find out how well the VA works in a couple months.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Had our first snow storm and temperatures in the low teens. The Vintage Air defroster and heater worked great. We will see as it gets colder.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Got a two inch lift installed tonight...Tuff Country. Raised the truck about 4 inches. The stock springs were TIRED!!!

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Looks really good, is it difficult to climb in?

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Looks great

Couple of daytime pics...

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Gorgeous truck.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

Turned out great thanks for sharing! I have been looking for clean C10 or C20 to swap onto my K10 frame for years with no luck. I missed a nice black 70 CST here about a year ago. Your thread reminds me how cool it can turn out when done right.

Re: Project C10/K20 Transplant
 

It's about as tall as my stock height 2006 RAM 3500...not bad, but it is a "step up".
