Awesome job....Looks GREAT................

Beautiful!!

Very nice touch! That exhaust will last forever.

That's awesome Dean!

Whats left to do on it? It looks complete to me.

Man thats a beauty, your very talented Dean!! Regards Doug

Thanks all!

Just minor things left to do:

Clean and detail the whole truck.
Gas gage not working for some reason.
I have two minor leaks to fix
emergency brake adjust
other misc stuff

I'll be making some more test runs as soon as I get my insurance.

"Bore us with pics..." He says. Very funny, ha ha. :(

:D Awesome truck.....just awesome.

I now have 84 pictures of that build up now. Work of art!

BAD F**KING ASS!

That is some darn nice work you do and some great talent you have. Hope you enjoy driving that thing.

Thanks for all the pics over the months.

Wow...

I am not a huge fans of 4x4's, but that truck is absolutely beautiful!!!!! I might have to change my ways and convert to the 4x4 side:) Great Job!!!

Man !! Really nice job. I like your baby blu one just as much ! Whats your next project ? I'm doing the same thing to my 69 GMC 4x4 . Any reasons you don't use a 6" lift ?

I only use the 4" lift with 35" tires because they will fit in a standard 8" high garage door if needed. Not that important anymore since I have 10' doors in my shop.

I had a 78 K10 shortbed with over 12" of lift in high school so I kinda got that out of my system....lol Sure was fun helping the cheerleaders get in that truck though...;)

sweet resto man!

Dang, Dean, you're always a few steps ahead of me. Though not original, I will have to replace the dual exhaust in my 71 K20 when I get there. The previous one was "aluminized" and didn't last as long as I thought it should.

What kind of mufflers are you running? Is it quiet or have a bit of rumble to it? How did you buys bend your own tubing? I gather you may have needed some special equipment not to mention the welding. And, finally, about how much did it cost? just planning ahead. Thanks.

P.S. What, No A/C? :D

Man Dean, you have one sweet truck to be proud of there...

Chuck

wow...just wow....nothin else to say...wow.

Great looking ride wish mine looked half that good them maybe my turbines would look as good as yours:D

These mufflers are quiet. They came from Allen's Stainless in Indiana. They are actually Chevelle mufflers. Allen specializes in original exhaust in stainless for Corvettes & etc. I put stainless Borlas on my blue one and they are obnoxious. I actually put glasspacks in the tailpipes just to make it semi useable.

My buddy has a muffler shop so he has all the expensive bending equipment.

Yeah, this body didn't have A/C. I didn't really want it anyway. I have the original working system on my blue K20, but it isn't like the new systems. I might put aftermarket air on the green one someday.

Thanks for all the comments. I've put 31 miles on it so far...lol

Bad a$$ !!!! that truck is awesome underside and out damn good job on the restore..

Speechless!
