Title: 85 K10 Project
Post by: Edemich on May 07, 2013, 11:26:13 am

Got this truck from my father in law 7 years ago.  It was an AZ hunting truck and needed some help when I got it.  Swapped the 305 for a 350 which turned out to be an L82 out of a 79 corvette.  Currently the truck is at the paint shop, plans for engine are new heads, intake, and a serpentine system.  Searching for 3/4 ton axles now to beef it up. Here's a few pics of the work in progress.

Cowl channel POR 15'd with 3M 5200 sealant.  1990 Suburban radiator support and a shot of the naked insides.

Looks good, and welcome. I wish I was at the painting stage of my truck.

Updated paint photo!

Currently have the 14 bolt ff rear axle installed.  It came out of a 2001 silverado 2500HD.  NV 4500 transmissions is 80% installed awaiting engine for final figment.  Got the front axle swapped to 3/4 ton from a mid 80's square body and started redoing the wiring!  Coming along great!
