Thanks for all the comments......let me elaborate a little......It was parked for three years because it would no longer pass PA inspection due to rust. I decided at the end of last summer that I would enjoy redoing my 72 rather than buy a newer truck (to replace my 92 full size Blazer).....I started tearing the truck down and getting rid of rust (with the help of my Dad, he is retired and I owe allot of the resto to him)......slowly but surely over the last year we where able to get her done.....the only original sheetmetal is the cab, hood and cowl.....everything else has been replaced......aside from the engine rebuild everything else was done by me or my Dad......I get credit for the paint....Thanks again......Paul...

Andy......thanks on the interior.....the springs out of the seat I got from you worked out great.....I am undecided on winter driving....I really want to drive it in the snow but I may have to put her in the garage once they start putting the salt down on the roads....just hate to destroy my detailing efforts......time will tell.....Paul
Also want to send out a public thanks to 6t727t2 (Harry) for hooking me up with a rear. Three weeks after I starting driving her again a carrier bearing spun in the rear differential and took out the housing with it. Harry came to my rescue with a 72 k10 he was parting out....Thanks Last edited by knsmodels; 08-11-2005 at 10:31 AM. |

But I'm pretty sure I've seen recent pics of his truck and it looks just as nice still? When I was in NY, my truck went away from Oct/Nov until at least April, sometimes May!

Re: Finally reinstated the daily driver.......
Great looking truck. I have a 68 K20 that looks a lot like that one. Just a little more weathered. benbloom, I haven't verified the gears but at 65 she's pretty wound up.
