Sweet, the k10 looks like it is in great shape to begin with. Is that your GMC, looks pretty straight and awesome.

Installed a 4-inch tuff country front/rear spring set, and am looking at painting the truck bright metallic blue.

Are those shaved door handles I see? Is that fender bolted on or is it just hangin'? It looks like it's got a big seam that needs to be adjusted. Lookin' Nice!

Nice project,
The 4" lift looks great on these trucks. I should have gone 4 instead of 2 1/2. I love the lifted longbeds (maybe because I have one). They are so stout. Good luck on your project.

yeah just have the front fenders hanging buy a couple of bolts, just wanted a somewhat finished look affect. Will be pulling front off in a couple of days to finish with POR -15 in the engine comp. As for motor I am considering a 400 with s/r torquer heads and a comp xe268h cam, air gap intake and 750 holley or carter carb. The previous owner had appartently got the truck stuck somehow and really shelled the trans so that is now all new inside. (new front pump, clutches, etc). The 400 block I had to use in project turned out to be bad so I may be going to a 350 now.
