Re: 1972 k30

Sweet dude! I've been wondering what you've been up to when I drive by the shop on my way to my sister's in Longmont.

Thanks Richard, just went through your build tread and wow! You have an awesome truck you're building. Love the custom work on the track arm and shock towers. I was really thinking of doing the 4link setup up front but chickened out on it but after seeing your truck the wheels are spinning again.

Clay, if your up north and have some free time hit me up. It seems these days I'm always at the shop either wiring the new units they are building or tinkering in mine. I should just set up a cot there My old man's new build is coming up soon too get wiring, exhaust and few odds & ends.

Thank you for the kind words. What a blessing to do this with your dad.
Would give all I could for that, miss dad every day. Subscribed and will be following along to see more.

Re: 1972 k30

Time for a update... Holley just gave me the run around with shipping the terminator X and after waiting months I ended up going with a quick fuel carburetor and a mega squirt trans controller. Also changed out the flat tappet cam to a roller cam, built the exhaust with some electric cut outs and finished most of the plumbing.

Today was a big day that we married the cab to the chassis I'm thankful I had an extra firewall section for the mock up because everything fit without hitting when we lowered the cab on. Next is making some adjustments for the suspension now that most of the weight is on the chassis. Getting closer one step at a time

Re: 1972 k30

Coming along very well I would say….

Looks like you have put your heart and soul into this truck just like everything you do.

Looks awesome Curt,congrats on getting to this point……I know its been a lot of trial and error but it looks like you’re winning.

P.S. found the shoulder belts we talked about took awhile to locate them as you know I can always locate my parts easily without even looking that hard….……NOT!!!

I need to stop putting parts in unlabeled boxes.

Rod, thanks for the encouragement dude. You know as well the ups and downs of these projects but in the end it's the memories and people along the way that make it a blast building these trucks

Thanks Dwayne, I'm a stickler when it comes to organizing but I still seem to hide stuff from myself. Now that I mention that, still can't find that 10mm socket ...

Messed around this afternoon and put some 39.5 tires on racelines that a buddy had laying around for mock up. She sure is tall
