Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Bought this truck last August. Here are the main things I've done to it:
-Replaced butchered metal dash -Modified wiring harness for full gauge cluster -Installed tach kit -Reupholstered seat, new carpet, shoulder belts -Power brake booster -Front disc conversion kit -Rebuilt front and rear suspension, new body mounts -Vortec heads & new camshaft -Replaced grille, driver side front fender, door and bed fender (had them painted by a local body shop) -Rebuilt vent windows, replaced window & door seals -New bed wood -Rebuilt and installed a 700R4 transmission - just drove it for the first time today - need to finish TCC lockup wiring It's still not "done", but it is getting close. Next will be a new exhaust system, limited slip diff and Vintage Air. |

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Bought the truck in 2010 and immediately tore it all apart and down to the frame. Not one original rivet left.....

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
68 Stepside right after being picked up. Doesn't look too bad in first photo, but had a lot of rust issues (cab corners, etc.) A lot of previous owner cobbled together parts and "fixes". If I only knew then, what I know now...
2nd photo. Several years (and many dollars) later, as a Conservation Forestry truck. A total rebuild from the frame up. 90% of the work done myself - but outsourced the paint! |

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Been a little more progress in five months but still nowhere near what others have done. Love to see what others have been getting done.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
It was a driver when I bought it, over ten years ago. I did the interior, cleaned up engine compartment and buffed the paint, just painted it recently.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Not much lowered and brought the paint back to the original patina 3" /4" drop . Truck had a step lower than an Earl Schieb special basically was able to peel off the repaint to the original . Now I’m debating on rebuilding the 327 drop a 402 in it or LS it

I never posted mine in this thread because every time I see it I think how it has gone the "other way". My '72 K2500 looked way better when I bought it in '01 than it does now. I've done a lot of mechanical improvements but it's cosmetic restoration is still in the future.
