80 Chevy k10 build
Hello guys, I am new here, I just picked up a 1980 K10 Pickup last Monday. This is my first project truck, and I am really looking forward to getting to work on this.
Pictures: Grill is cracked, you can see it is held together with string, the right head light bezel is broken as well. The Hood is bent, I know this is a problem with this style truck, how do I go about fixing it? It has been bent so many times that I will have to add some kind of support to keep it from bending. It has a 250 engine/ 350 transmission/ 205 transfercase. The fuel pump is missing, and the PO said that the engine is making a clicking noise, but I plan on putting a 350 in it. It also has AC in it! Does anybody know anything about this rear bumper? It sets in really far, and then the ends stick out farther. It has a frame in the bed for a hay lift, and im not sure if that has anything to do with why the bumper is like that. This is where the hay lifts winch was mounted. It seems to be in really good shape for being 30 years old, and being a farm truck. I dont know if I want to replace all of the dented areas on the truck or not. I plan on it being a Daily driver, and a mild offroader, so Im not sure if It is worth it to replace the bed and front fenders or not. The Plan: -Blue Body (Darker) -All chrome, or non body colored things will be black -350 Engine -3/4 ton axles and springs -New Stereo system -Military Surplus Tires |
