Re: 72 K30 Build
Subscribed! I would like to build one of these too. I have had the thought of either trying to get my father in laws 67 GMC C35 he bought new or get another C30 and build one of these. I have followed JJorgensen52's build also. My initial questions were would I do a K20 frame or mod the C30 frame. Seems like the C30 are a bit more beefy than K20. Although it might be easier for the front axle swap on the K20 but then would have to do something about the inboard mounting on the rear axle for shocks.
I have had a couple 84, 85 and now an 86 GMC K35 and have always wanted a 67-72 style. That is all I can remember my grandpa driving when I was growing up. My thoughts are a possible flat bed with dump and put a plow on the front and just use for my hauling/towing needs with occasional plowing unless I get something else to plow with(just for my personal needs). Going for a look like the following members picture. Would have to say goodbye to my 86 if I go this route.
Looks like you are starting to get things figured out now. Looking forward to your progress.
