Just inherited a 76 K10 Flatbed
« on: May 27, 2015, 07:38:53 pm »
Like the subject says, I just inherited my first pre 1980's vehicle. Fresh rebuilt/restore on it within the last 7 years and a 100 miles put on it since then. It's a 76 frame and drive train with a 84 cab on it. I would really like to put a box back on it at some time in the near future..

Very nice truck!

IMHO the flatbed gives it tremendous character. If it is an original flatbed (matched by VIN), I'd rock it OEM style all day long.

I might but a little lift in it and throw some 33's or 35's on it. I was think about the Dakota digital dash as well
