Let’s see some SWB K10’S! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

57taskforce · 04-09-2019, 03:44 PM

I thought it might be cool to have a thread showing off the ever elusive and uncommon SWB K10s. I searched around and didn’t see any such threads. Mods, if this thread already exists and I missed it please move this over!

As some may have seen, heres mine. I haven’t got it home yet as I made the deal last week, I would love to see more of these uncommon beasts!

**too much stuff** · 04-09-2019, 05:15 PM

Not much to show, but my 69 project and my 70 just waiting for now...

I do have a 72 frame and axles out there somewhere too.

Even if there is a previous thread there may be some new stuff floating around that haven't been posted.

**jocko** · 04-09-2019, 11:54 PM

and a few more

**Backroads67** · 04-10-2019, 12:22 AM

72 in progress, prior teardown.

tristan · 04-10-2019, 08:45 AM

This is a club that I would love to join. Hard to get in though.

**SoCoC10** · 04-10-2019, 09:15 AM

We are going to restore this one after the Hugge Orange K10 Cheyenne and the medium Blue K5 Blazer CST.

joeydurango · 04-10-2019, 09:22 AM

My 71 before I sold it... on the LWB train now.

**hevy_chevy67** · 04-10-2019, 03:35 PM

Before mine went under the knife

**Razorbacker** · 04-10-2019, 09:28 PM

Here's my 72

57taskforce · 04-11-2019, 12:44 AM

Awesome trucks guys! Trevor, why on earth did you tear that beauty down? That thing looks really really good in those pictures. Joey your truck Was really nice with the ls swap as well. All of these trucks are great!!! I’ve got my work cut out for me to make mine look as good as everyone else’s, that’s for sure! Razorbacker, that plaid custom deluxe is a beautiful truck as well. Heavy Chevy, yours looks really solid too. Nice to see so many still In good shape. Keep ‘Em Comin’!

**tim71** · 04-11-2019, 11:09 AM

my 71 K1500....lived most of it's life in Nevada. All original sheet metal, only replaced the bed floor during build (bed floor was wavy, not rusted). Plans for this summer is to lower truck back down to stock height, the 2" lift came out higher than I was expecting. Wish it was a Sierra, but I do like the tailgate on the Custom trim level.

Tim71, absolutely beautiful truck! I'm wanting to do same, put it back to stock ride height, 6in wheels and PO1 wheel covers...only roadblock is finding stock spring that don't cost a fortune

**CUSTOM/10** · 04-12-2019, 09:32 AM

Here's my 72, it's farther along than in these pictures but still not finished. Just starting to get back to working on it !

AWESOME TRUCKS GUYS! I apologize for not including K1500’s in the title! They are every bit as welcome. Everyone of these trucks posted are amazing. Let’s see some more! Tristan, keep looking you’ll find one. Took me 2 years to finally get mine.

**paul blair** · 04-13-2019, 08:00 PM

69 K/10 been in my family since new, retired now, I would like to install a fleet side bed some day.

**Chevyland** · 04-13-2019, 09:08 PM

Hey Paul,
Has that box been on it since new ?
What’s the story behind the truck

**paul blair** · 04-13-2019, 09:31 PM

Hi CHEVYLAND, This truck was my Fathers work truck (Electrical work) He bought it new and had the bed changed at the local CHEVY dealer. We used it to carry a small trench digger. He gave it to me when he retired. Low miles 4 speed 307 low gears P/S. Wish I had the original bed. I enjoy Your CHEVYLAND posts and look forward to more. Happy Trails
