Re: 80 Chevy k10 build

Well, the guy that farms my parents land said that he has a 1980 3/4 ton, I am going to use it for parts. He says it was a high end truck at the time has power windows, power locks, ect.. I plan on stealing the 3/4 ton axles and springs (if they are 52" rears like mine) to make a Heavy Half ton.

Well the 250 engine has some bad news. It was missing the fuel pump, but I wanted to see if it would crank, because the PO said that it was making a clicking noise, and that it was getting really bad, so they parked it. Well after hooking a battery up to it, and trying to crank it, the engine was locked. So sense it was locked my dad and I started to look at it, and there was a hole in the oil pan from something flying through it. I planned on replacing the engine any way, it just means I have to get a new engine before I can drive it around, but that is what im going to get this parts truck for, it has a working 350 in it.
