1986 Chevy K5 - Project Lost and Found 6.2LS 6L80E NP205

[mattrains]

I bought this K5 when I was 16 and sold it when I was 18 due to financial strains, 10 years later I found it and bought it back. It's in a lot worse condition since I first had it but I guess that will make for a better build thread?

So here are some specs on the truck. It's an 86' Steel Gray Metallic K5 with a Mark IV 454 Big Block, TH400 Trans, 12 Bolt rear and 10 bolt front. The interior has seats from a later model Suburban and a pretty nice stereo. Nothing major but a great point to start back at. It's like having a do over at my first car.

So here are some before and after pics. The first pics are of when I had it when I was 16-18 and the other pics are as it sits now. It's a big difference in person but you can see.

Pictures on the left are 2000 to 2002 range and pictures on the right are 2012 Before I went and picked it up.















I'll keep everyone posted as it goes on and I would love any advice or input you have. It will be a slow build but it will be awesome.
