I bought an 84 k-10 today, it has the 305 700r4 np 208 drive train. It drives really well for an old truck!! I'm going to feel bad tearing it apart to use all the drive train, and springs and spring perches for my 61 4x4.

Check out that winch bumper!!! I got the stock bumper also in the deal. I feel bad to tear it apart because its so rust free. All I can say is watch the classified section in a month or two, I'll have some good parts for sale!!

Don't feel bad, I would do the same.

You`ll feel good when you have that in your truck.

Thanks guys, I guess they made more 73-87 4x4 shorties than 60-66

!! Yes it will be nice to have all it under the 61!!

watch out for the gears! they're notorios for having 2.73s in them in that era. you want at least a 3.73 for a 31-33" tire.

Holy huge front bumper Batman!!! That's not a bumper that's a work platform.

Nah, really I wouldn't feel too guilty about using the parts on your 61. You can sell off what you don't need for the body to a guy that has a 73-87 that needs it. The truck will live on in the trucks it's parts makes it on to.

Yea thats what I figured too!! I'll probably start posting parts in a few days.

Looks like a good donor...I want to see how much higher it sits w/ the front bumper off..

62 short step · 11-24-2007, 01:01 AM

It is stock heigth with 33 12.50,s. But yea it would look taller without the land barge of a bumper!!
