Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I've been compiling a list of parts for this truck so I can try to get it going before the new year. I did get a 73-80 front clip for it, so the newer one is off of it. We happened to get a rebuilt diesel 47rh, so now I have to get my triple disc billet TC re stalled for this truck. I've been talking with the wife and the sun visor is coming off, and the truck will be a magenta color with upper and lower mouldings. The interior is going to be black now. Since this is her truck, she's getting to make some calls. (I hope the color doesn't bite me in the...)

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
when this truck was lifted the 22inch?(ithink thats what you said) was it drivable? as far as steering and stoping? im thinking about doing this to a truck/suburban and i need to get a parts list. Did you ever have shocks on it? what all did you have to use to correct the steering? as far as drop pitman arm, steering block? what all did you have to use for that? Thanks and awesome truck

Mike, this truck is really on the back burner now. It's storage and a yard ornament until further notice. Haha

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
i think it will look great as the 76 it is... although im partial to the round headlights. and high hood. i have only owned 2 short beds.. and wasnt too fond of them as I tend to use my trucks as trucks.. that thing will be cool as hell but not sure about Magenta... but I guess that will discourage you from using it....lol

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
There may be hope for this truck yet. I sold the front doors off it and my friend who baught them put the GM doors I had laying around back on it. I'm picking up a different bed this weekend for it, and have plans to put a 12v p-pump engine in it with a NV4500 and maybe a 241c tcase in it. This will happen after I can actually drive the Longhorn. I want to put this link on here for the GM hinges so I don't forget to buy these for it as well.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Here are some pics of the different doors on it. Poor truck.
I will be going with the newer type of mirror that is on the LH front door. I have a pair of NOS mirrors I picked up a while ago for it. Plan is a cowl hood and a dark green metallic paint job with maybe a pewter center and new trim. We'll see if I can swing all of that.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I'm trying to stay with as many facrory pieces for the body as I can. But it's getting tough for these pre 81 trucks it seems.
Thanks to my brother Nick and friend Adam, we went and picked up another short bed for this today. I plan to use the bed sides from this bed on my old floor. This bed came with an access toneau cover, a rust free tail gate, and an aluminum fuel cell. Not a bad deal imo.
