Luke's 1971 k10 Build Thread
 

I'm starting this thread a little late but i've documented my truck since the day i've owned it. This first post if how i got it and how i drove it for a year and a half before the motor threw a rod. These past 4 months i've been restoring it getting her back to her former glory, i repainted the truck the original medium green, and built a 385 stroker motor. I avoided doing the bodywork because i probably would have ruined it and payed someone to do it.

This is the actual restoration, i have many more pictures but i don't want to flood a thread with posts the first night.

Awesome build! I especially love the engine block color. :chevy:

Thanks! I wasn't sure at first, it was either this or black and i wanted to give it a little bit more bite so i went for it. I'll post more tomorrow just need to dig through some photos.

Thanks! I don't haha.

A few more pictures. The 350 i pulled, the cb i installed, the body work after the guys were done, and the motor. I'm a little new to posting on forums and was wondering if i could just create a universal thread for my truck... Something where i can just post general things going on with the truck, any help/guidance would be appreciated!
