Re: 72 k10 build

guess i should update this, the frot fenders where it drops have been cut, they were filled with bondo so i decided to do away with them, both bumpers are off and not going back on. picked up a set of 37" parnelli jones dirt grips from a friend. picked up a 14 bolt full float as well as two more d44's and found a 76 l82 motor fully dressed minus carb and dizzy for 100 bucks from a guy ive done business with in the past. hoping to hear or see her move out of her own power soon.

also a majority of my build plans have changed, ill be cutting the rockers and going with a 2x4 rock slider instead, tube doors for summer fun, tube bumpers and tailgate still ok, suspension plans are b52s with 6 rear springs, crossover and hydroassist as well as a shackle flip out back.

Nice truck. Good luck with the build. Are you selling the old front bumper?

Re: 72 k10 build
