Hello all ..
I've always wanned to write about building my trucks. Since I can't finish any of them, I've postponed the writing for some other time, and decided to write 'bout one of my buddy's projects truck, since I've asked him on several occasions to right about it , but did'nt have the time !!
Well ... I have all the time to write 'bout it 'coz of two reasons ..
One is .. his build up is worth writing about, and Second .. 'cos I have learned alot from him, and its my way of paying him back.
So here it is ...
The whole thing started with him getting an '85 K10 pickup about a year ago. We had spent many hours arguing about what to start with ? .. when and where it should be done ?!
Thank God the guy owns a workshop specialized in Chevy Trucks ... especially 73-87 Chevys. So here is a guy who knows what to do when it comes to dealing with C/K trucks. He told me that he had this dream for some quite a time, but didn't have the sources 'till couple of years ago .
May be its a piece of cake for some of you guys living in the US, but down here its getting harder everyday to find parts for such trucks .. U have to have some serious contacts within spare parts stores to collect them from everywhere, not to mention that U have to import all the stuff U need to build up a decent and personilzed truck in order to "wow" the others . Its a heck of a job .. but what the heck .. we love these trucks
To cut it short .. I'll leave U with some pictures of the project .. I'll keep U posted and hopefully U gonna like what U see..
It did start with an '85 K15
Its not a beautiful scene .. but there is always a "Start"
1st step is to strip the whole body parts
That's my '74 Blazer on the left
Then comes the chassis sandplasting .. he had to toe it to a snadplasting workshop
... to be continued
