The Truck when i bought it. A 79 K10. 6 inch suspension Lift, 3 inch Body for $1750.   It had 38.5 Groundhawgs that are Totally dry rotted. Jasper 350, With a Turbo 350. No real upgrades but it had some power

Hopefully im doin this Right! i couldnt figure out how to keep it goin.
At the end of the second summer, i decided it was time to start this project.  The body work was crap but winter was coming so we threw on some Paint.  I wound up using Law Equipment paint from Ace hardware. Stops rust and 5 bucks a can. i couldnt complain. After putting on additional rust protective paint. the Green and Maroon, we started.

There were a few cosmetic things goin on after painting, just touch ups inside, One thing was painting the hurricane wheels black, i guess i regret that now haha. Pulled the bed, finding ALOT of bondo on the rear cab corners but we just threw some paint on there and was on my way.

Towards the end of Summer, I Ran into a few complications. I Had just bought a set of 35x12.5 Bfg All terrains. I Put them on the Night i got them. Not thinking about the different types of wheels my tires had. I used the same Lug nuts.  I Soon found out Steel and Aluminum wheels take different lug nuts.  While driving through town i heard a quiet but annoying Knock. i stopped a few times wandering what it was. the third or fourth time i realized it was the Lug nuts, After seeing one Shoot out to the left 15 or 20 feet away from me. At that point i was just fleeing to the nearest parking lot where i saw this. One Lug nut left on my tire. My second problem was I Lost all forward gears stuck in a mud hole with a 18 foot Canoe hanging out the back Hahaha. After working all summer to pay off my newly build trans for $1100 i was finally problem free for a while.

Winter and spring came, this was all about the fun. Thankfully i didnt run into any problems besides my tail lights goin out, Bad Wiring was to blame

Nice looking truck,  I have been thinking about yellow + black stripes over hood.  Throw a tape measure on top of your ubolt pad to the bottom of your frame, what do you get?

How is that Jasper motor treating you?  They are good motors.
