I need some inspiration

Time to get serious or give it up.

The subject is my 1970 C10, turned K10. I started this project a year and a half ago.

I put a lot of time and money into the project. I even purchased an 84 k10 for more parts. Much of the running gear is done, as well as most of the bodywork on the cab.

All this was done at my parents place. Two months ago, at the ripe old age of 23, I was offered a new position in the company I work for. I moved out of my parents house in Inez, Tx, to the big city of Austin, Tx. Where all the extra cash from my promotion goes to rent on a little apartment.

Which leads me to my current situation. I work 50 hours a week, am taking two online college classes this summer (which I should be working on right now), and I'm nearly 3 hours away from my truck. I have come up with a list of things that I need to do to get the truck running and back together enough to move it. I just need some inspiration. I don't want to sell it. I've come too far for that. I'm hoping that with some support and people motivating me. My goal is to have the truck move on it own power and move it up here in austin with me by the end of the summer. NOT FINISHED, just progress.

here is a short list of what I have to do..
This won't get it anywhere near inspectable/road ready, just driveable.

1. Diff Covers painted and Oil in the diffs

2. Transfer case and transmission oil

3. Driveshafts

4. Clutch hydraulics

5. brake soft lines!

6. brake hardlines

7. Core support

8. distributor parts

9. engine accessory brackets/parts, water pump.

10. Shocks/stabilizers

11. steering box.

12. Exhaust of some kind.

13. Radiator hoses.

14. Fenders/hood primered mounted

Some pictures: (there are a lot more if you follow the link in my sig)

the 2wd


the 69 K20




the truck that donated the trans, transfer case, front diff, tires, and lift




progress..
