Excellent progress!

Uhh yeah, that was an oversight on my part, the Summit manifolds have a 2 1/2 inch collector and my exhaust is 2 1/4, so I went back to stock manifolds. The Summit manifolds are up for grabs if anyone wants to pay for shipping.

Great story, well documented. Congrats.

Fabbed up a rectangular tube bumper and blasted and painted the rad support, inner fenders, and auxiliary fuel tanks. Put a little new art on the glove box and drug home a gently used commercial topper I found on FB Marketplace. Engine is ready to fire!

Engine break-in and first test drive a success! Now working on the 500 mile break-in for the engine, suspension, and rear differential gears. Installed a Warn 10,000 lb winch using the Engineered Vintage behind-the-bumper winch mount. Mounted an old Luverne brush guard I had sitting around.

looks good!

Re: 1972 K10 Ebay Truck
 

Agree. Sweet truck.

Re: 1972 K10 Ebay Truck
 

Finished the engine break-in, loaded up the gear and headed out west for hunting season. Stopped in Colorado to go wheeling with some of my Jeep buddies. The Alcan suspension performed great, got great articulation and traction through some pretty knarly Jeep trails. The rear bumper was riding at 24 inches with a full load of gas, water and gear; did not drag once.

Nice set-up:metal:

That topper looks great:chevy:

After Colorado I headed for Arizona and drove through Monument Valley on the way.

Re: 1972 K10 Ebay Truck
 

Very nice truck and great work on it! Congrats on your meat procurement as well! That's pretty cool to have traveled in it around the grand canyon etc. Someday I'd like to do a similar trip with my kids.
