Re: 1977 K10 Silverado Longbox

Nice work man. Really like the stock blue and somehow the added 2nd blue really works for me. Can understand if you go back to white in the center but Im a big fan of the mustard yellow stripe in the trim with that color of blue. I'm in the same process of getting what I can out of the existing paint, even though there are rust spots etc to be fixed. Somehow these rigs just look great anyway, despite it all. I enjoy seeing the progress.

Re: 1977 K10 Silverado Longbox

More progress on the truck. Trying to quickly get it back together before I sell the house back in NC. Starting rebuilding the 205 and engine. New Speed Pro pistons and ARP rod bolts to start. .30 over and had the crank turned. Got the front end all together with the new lockers, ball joints, brakes, etc.

Wheew im beat!!!

I backed out of this deal.. Seemed to be some confusion when I asked about the working order of the tranny.

I finally got the truck moved to Richmond and sold my house in NC a few weeks ago. Time to turn the attention to the truck!! Ill be updating more moving forward.

Re: 1977 K10 Silverado Longbox

Got some parts in and painted them up. Steering box brace from Off Road Design. I figured this would be a good upgrade moving forward. I also have the parking brake cable kit coming today from Inline Tube and two new adjustable detent screws for the NP205. I'll get some pics up later on those.

Got the rod and tag joint in. Also got in the emergency brake kit. I'll be fugging with that in the next few days. I'll get some pics up, hopefully it will help someone out if you need to tackle that.

Re: 1977 K10 Silverado Longbox

Looks really good. I've used that ord brace a couple times. It's a nice upgrade to a weak link on these rigs.

Definitely!! I just recently started making calls to have someone come take a look to give me some quotes. It needs some body work. I want the cab to come off and do it right. I have no clue what this would cost.. any clues?

5-8 grand? That's what I've been hearing. Curious to see how close that is to what you get quoted.

Your detail is inspiring!
