Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

Here’s mine, not close to being finished but try to keep it running and driving so I can enjoy it while I build it.

Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

I'm I the only one with a before that was nicer than the after? I bought my '72 K2500 twenty years ago. Been driving it ever since. Even worked it for my business. It's been used for all the things a truck was made for. I've kept it up mechanically, changed interior, suspension, wheels/tires. I have a lot of parts waiting for when I ever restore it.

The second day I owned it

Thanks for the props. I'll let the truck know. I've had a list of K/20s and only this one K2500, which seems to be my keeper. I had two '72 K/20s when I bought it and it was going to be the leisure vehicle for hauling a camper, bikes, boats etc. That never happened. Signed up for leisure then put to work!

Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

It's coming up on one year since I bought my truck. I've really enjoyed working on it. I'm kind of bummed that I'm getting close to being done. I might have to find another project truck.

Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

I wish I had room to put another vehicle. I'd take that thing off your hands so that you could build another! Come on, Lottery! I'd buy another house on property and have enough room...and your truck. Please, sir, could you put AC in it, first?
