Hello, thanks to "zoomad" I am starting this build thread. My name is Michael I am 15 and a sophomore at Arapahoe High School in Littleton, CO and thanks to my great dad we are building a 1972 K10. We started cruising through Craigslist and found many 2wd and 4wd trucks from 67-72, I was able to persuade my dad a K-Series truck since it would allow me to get more use out of it than a "hot rod" truck (like the old man wants to build). We were inspired by "zoomad" (Uncle Rob) with his excellent build thread. Rob with his extensive background with all GM products has proven to be a great resource for information with our new build, and our family's "grocery getters." The Pueblo Duran/Zulian family are considered our "southern" blood relatives. Now for the truck. In June of 2016 we found ourselves a 1970 k10 LWB(with a 72 front clip). It currently has the normal 350 engine and TH350 trans. Our plans are to convert it into a SWB and restore it to it's original hugger ornage and white paint job, with a few modern touches. We will be posting photos as we go along with out build.
Excited to be "Building a Better way to See the USA"
