Project started Saturday - What year is this truck???
Hello everyone. A while back I asked about body swap info but didn't get a whole lot of response to what I was looking for. So I just dove in and hoped it would work!
I took an 86 long box K10 frame and chopped 27" out of the center to eliminate the kickup. It's about the wheelbase of a K5 blazer now. I built custom front leaf packs to hold the load of my plow and put in 3/4 ton axles. 10 bolt front, 14 bolt rear. The engine is an 86 350 with a .443" lift 212° duration cam, new lifters, pushrods and rockers, edelbrock intake and carb, hooker headers and I've got some flowmasters to put on too. I originally planned on a TH400/208 combo but it's way too long for a decent rear driveshaft angle. I'll pull that out and swap in an SM465/205 combo soon. I tossed the body on yesterday, but I'm not sure what year it is. Could anyone help identify the year by the pictures? I ordered an LMC truck catalog for the little bits and pieces that my body will need to be near complete. I'll most likely fab some rockers, cab corners and floor pans to make sure this will be stout to drive with one of my daughters in it with me. Here's a link to some pictures of the build so far... http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...Rig%20Buildup/ Thanks guys |
