My Rigs
« on: January 06, 2012, 10:08:13 am »
I wanted to make a build thread of what I have done and am doing to my trucks  :)  I have taken alot of pictures along the way

It started with my 1980 Chevy K10. Tired 350 with a 4 speed and 205tc. long box and it's painted flat black, (very easy color to take care of and touch up)  8) 

Pics are a few weeks after I got it,  33" Swampers, hedders, glass packs, then a little while later stereo in the dash with speakers, CB and dual antenas, couple decals on the back window and then it was mudding fridays after work lol

1976 / 85 front clip K20 - 4" lift with 33's. 350 4speed lwb

As you can imagine it didn't take long til I had to pull the motor lol  ;D 

First pic is in the process of pulling the old
Second is while the motor was out I stuck in a 3" body lift to help with clearance (had to trim the front fenders to fit the tires)
Third is what I broke in the motor, main bearings. Top ones are how there supposed to look for comparison
Fourth is when I was done the new motor

Any comments or questions are appreciated!

     Wow, that poor engine.  At least you got a new one.  ;D

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
