Checking in from Northern Indiana
« on: March 24, 2014, 11:15:09 am »
Hey all....my name is Eric.
I have always wanted a late 70's early 80's 4x4 and finally have the opportunity to pick one up (well buying two from a friend at work). I should also state that I am NOT a wrench or a body guy so this is all new to me. With that being said I couldn't think of a better way to get my feet wet than just to jump feet first into a 79 K10 and doing a complete body swap. I will have help as the guy I bought it from and his dad have offered to help. Anyway, looking forward to all the information and knowledge from this site and its members. I'll do my best to put together a build report but not a lot of free time can be found right now.

Thanks,
Eric/minus1

Thanks all,

We've already started the tear down. Unfortunately my camera died so I only have a few picks on my iPad. Have her down to the frame and I've spent the last couple weekends prepping to pray it with chassie saver. I've wire brushed everything I could get to and now ready to power wash and spray if it warms up enough.
