Creamsicle: My 70 K10 SWB is about to get sweeter

Man that’s a shame it’s leaking, that sure is a nice looking pan. Nice work overall. That’s such a great looking truck, you’ve done a great job!

It is a nice looking pan, but I think the fabricated pans just don't stack up to a cast/machined pan. It's reinforced around the bolting flange, but IMO the mating surface just isn't strong enough and flat enough like a machined surface pan. Thanks for the compliments.

No idea how I missed this thread! Beautiful truck! We’re getting my own creamsicle going. My kids named ours the Creamsicle even though I had just always called it Grandpa Bill’s truck. It’s my great grandpa’s truck that my Dad put into his construction crew fleet for awhile so it’s got some pretty redneck/grandpa style fixes on it. We’re working through those kinks and hope to have it running & driving by the new year.

Can't wait to see it. Do you have any pictures or build thread?

I don’t have a build thread on here, but probably should since I’m on here all the time. I’ve been keeping track of our progress on my Instagram page ( chronic_creamsicle ).

Meanwhile here’s a picture. I’m keeping the “patina” since it’s always been a work truck until I got ahold of it. 😎 This pic was a few years ago, but apparently it’s one of the only full body shots I have. I need to wash her and get a better one.

Great looking truck, thanks for the detailed build and pictures! Question about your center console, did you buy a kit to refurbish it, or send it off to someone? I've got a center console that needs some TLC. Thanks!
