I have some pictures of it when it had a normal bed on it. I thought it still had the electric rear window in the back. that goes into the tailgate.

I agree. It would be so much easier to use a c-70 or gmc 7000 and put on suburban/Blazer body rear and Bed on back.

Hello All
New to the board and thought I would post a few pics of my 1982 K30. I have had 4 or 5 square bodied Chevys but this one is by far my favorite so far. My Wife, kids and I made a 2400 mile round trip from Colorado to Washington state to pick up this beast. The price was right. Originally I was just looking for a good solid work/ hunting truck to beat around in with my boy but now we have decided to do a full restoration/ build on this. Right now it has a rebuilt 350/rebuilt th350/np205. New drive lines and rebuilt rear end with a new grizzly locker. I have already junked the original Qjet and cast intake for an Edelbrock intake and carb and a set of Edelbrock chrome valve covers and air cleaner. Made a huge difference in how it runs but it still needs more power.
My build plans include
Full repaint and new cloth interior
2.5" Procomp lift kit
swap in a 454 and 700r4 trans

Welcome and great looking crew! Mine has the 350 also and was a little anemic too. I stuck a 177 weiand blower on top, now it runs better than any big block crew I ever had. Picked up 1 mpg too!

P.S. More pics please (interior,etc.)

Those tires are huge!!

I think you need more lift or smaller tires lol

It does look like a big rig though.

Great Looking Truck !
How much does it cost you to get those adapters and then the wheels and tires... Compared to taking a REAL Truck suspension and just mounting the cab on it For example a C-60 or Gmc 6000 compated to cost of what you have now?
Dont get me wrong.. I love the look of your truck. Then again, I do not know if I could handle the ride of a c-60 with no load.
How much do the Adapters Wheels and Tires cost?

Does anyone have pictures of this as Built. I just have a hard time thinking that it is a Semi Frame. Compared to a c-60 frame and grafted suburban and bed on it.
Seems like less work. I had a Big Truck and Man it is a Lot of work to get that Engine into that Compartment, Unless you just use a 60 to start with
