Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

In a weird way I wanted to challenge myself doing it all in my driveway with no air compressor and just run of the mill hand tools. The toughest part so far was installing the rear wheel studs with the 1/2 inch wrench and hydraulic jack handle "breaker bar". Took me a long time and I was forced to do it in 100+ degree weather.

I'm not going to worry about the body work for now, just going to enjoy it for a bit. I might do the bodywork when the kids are a little older, but I don't want to have to worry about having a pretty truck staying out in the driveway.
