Dad came down this weekend, and my brother Dan came over to help, too.

Dan and Dad taking the front clip apart so we can get rid of the old core support.

I also located where the 4x4 shifter needs to go, and cut the holes. Still need to install it, and adjust the linkage.

Nice work Jeff!

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Sweet!

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Great progress. Your dad has to be getting itchy to go for a cruise.

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

What kind of mileage are you expecting? I know the 2wds can do pretty well, but what about a lifted 67-72?

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Awesome progress! the interior and engine bay look great.

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Nice work on the truck. Looks great! I noticed in post 35 that you don't have a tailgate handle and it appears that you did not use the standard relocation kit, unless I just missed it. Care to divulge any secrets!

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Lookin really good

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

That is one nice build and beautiful truck.

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Been quite awhile since I posted an update...

Got the newer truck shifter installed.

And then the seats put in

I then welded bosses to the new aluminum radiator to mount the Dodge Intrepid electric fan to.

Gettin close buddy

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Great work as usual!

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Awesome progress!

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
 

Well THAT was a pain in the azz...and I'm glad it's finally done.

Been poring over what to do about a fuel filler for months. Didn't really want to cut a hole externally in the bedside, but it needed to be fairly easy to get to.

Here's what I ended up with...

Decided to start with the inside fuel filler cover from a Blazer

Then start cutting it up and get to work

Found a nice vented boat filler neck with integrated cap, should work nicely. The only issue is that to get the angle of the neck right, the "GAS" reads upside down. I know that's going to drive my dad nuts....because it drives ME nuts....but it is what it is.

I backpurged and TIG'd a stainless tube to allow for the flow to be as smooth as possible to the tank. It will also be durable, especially if it happens to come in contact with the bed supports that I plasma'd out.

Finished product!
