Project Eye Sore

[tylervalo]

I'm reposting this from another forum I'm on, they don't appreicate anything besides BMW, WRX, or built Civics. The name comes from someone from my subdivision that happend to mention to my wife (unknowingly) my truck was an eye sore.

Since finding my dad's old big block truck destroyed at the local pull-a-part I had wanted a get a truck like his and "modern day" it. This one almost literally fell in my lap so I sold the Jeep and for the next little bit am going to restomod this 1985 K10. As of now it's mostly stock, originally a V6, now a 350-ish V8, 4 speed w/bull dog, and about 4" of lift.
Plans are an LSx out of something (waiting for something to hit pull-a-part...$138 for any V8), paint the inside black for a solid black interrior, navy blue metallic outside, and set of AT tires, this will be a lifted daily driver.

New project:


Near perfect interior trim from pull-a-part and random removed stuff:


A/C ducting and dash parts:


Interior all ripped out, going though hack-job wiring ATM:



All in all I figure this will take 1 1/2 years - 2 years to complete.
