Finish off with steel plate and paint it white that would look good.

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"

Ok 2 votes to dump the step bumper and one to keep it. It's starting to look like public opinion is going towards a chrome sport bumper.

If you keep the step bumper, have it chromed or at least powder coated aluminum.

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"
 

I'm doing the chrome sport bumper but it's really up to you. If you could raise that original bumper to sit level with the bottom of the bedsides then it might look better.

What mirrors are you going to use?

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"
 

I plan to go with the 67-68 round mirrors. I think I may paint those body color but not sure on that either.

That's what i'm thinking, but chrome since I am making a "Custom" truck with side chrome as well.

nice work

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"
 

I really like the 67-68 side chrome too! I got to say I saw your "project money pit" build thread before I started this project and it gave me the incentive to go out and buy this truck to restore. Thanks for the inspiration to take this on!

your welcome, I guess... my poor truck hasn't been touched for awhile now. Soooo busy with house, work, life and kids...

Nothing will be changing for this upcoming year or next... after my deployment then i'll get at it...that's what I keep telling myself anyways!

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"
 

Man i missed this build somehow, what a nice job youve done! Thats a nice looking garage you have to work in, too. Youre on the home stretch now!

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"
 

Thanks for the encouragement! It seems like I've been the home stretch for a couple of years now!:waah:

Looks like you have a nice build going on too! Was it an original black truck?

Unfortunately, i don't know that. I know its been painted because i found some bondo here and there. The glove box door was changed at some point, and that SPID doesn't match the vin on the door jamb and frame. What i do know is that it was an original V8, 4 speed, SWB, 4x4 truck. But enough about my truck, yours rocks, keep it going!

Re: 1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"
 

I go in spirts too. Just keep at it and you will get there!

Well got to spend a few hours on the k10 this weekend. Finally resprayed the inside of passenger fender and hung it. This fender has been a pain in the a$$! I resprayed it for different reasons at least 4 times!
