Need your opinion
« on: April 17, 2012, 08:34:08 pm »
I have an '86 k10 but I really like the looks of like a '78 with the grille and fenders. So I was thinking  of just making the body like a '78, I know I probably could. But do you guys think I should?
If there was no rust when you restore a vehicle, it would be to easy.

Pretty simple to swap a complete 74-80 nose onto an 81 or newer cab. If you search the site you will find plenty of posts on it.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

     I am also one who likes the 73 -80 nose better than the 81 - 87, so you have my vote also.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
