1983 K30 4x4 Shortbed Dually Build
« on: July 24, 2013, 07:34:07 pm »
Hey guys this is just a little project ive been working on.  This is my 1 ton Short Bed dually 4x4 work truck that ive been building for about 8 months now.  It has a 454 with an intake and carb.  I plan to do some more performance upgrades but I need some more top end first because my gearing is 4.56 so you know what I mean.  This used to be an old tow truck until we cut it down and made it a shortbed.  I had a shortbed frame that I sandblasted and coated with chassis saver but it was for a K20 and I really wanted a K30 so the only way to accomplish this was a cab and chassis 1 ton.  Tell me what you think guys.

     That's a nice looking truck. One question though, what is the hole in the grill with the device behind it next to the passenger running light ?
#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.

It was an old towtruck and that's the JumpStart location
