Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
Looking to go with some bucket seats with a center console/seat such as the ones in the 03'-05' Dodge Rams. Is anyone running these seats? I've measured one but seems to be a bit too wide, I'm concerned that the driver seat won't center up with the steering wheel. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
WOW is all i can say. When came across your buildup, that's the same stance and tires i wanted on my shortbox stepper. What size of lift and tires are on the truck? Can't believe how much bondo was on the truck. You have done a good job in bringing back to life. What were those flares made of?

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
Hey guys, I've been m.i.a. for a while dealing with Hunny-Do lists, business duties and dealing with a flippin neighbor that thought it would be cool to report me as having a chop shop in my back yard. Needless to say that didn't go over very well with the cops and the city. Now I have a tight time limit in which to put my car and truck together. I hate being rushed, this will certainly put a ding in my plans. I was forced to rush some parts over to powder coat, here's some of the goddies.

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
The powder coat looks great on everything especially the frame. The block is begging to be black! Sorry to hear your neighbor is a dick. I have had my fair share of them myself. Thats why I live at the end of a private drive now.

I'm probably going to go with silver or gloss black instead of the gun metal. |

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
Just build a taller fence or take the neighbor hunting.

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
I was actually thinking about the fence too. If it's behind the fence, and the fence is tall enough, what/why/how can the city tell you what to do in your backyard?

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
The city ordinance inspector told me that he can't make me get rid of my property because it's all under my name. He did say that I live in a "bedroom" community and that a frame off restoration is not legal in such. I would have to do so in a shop. He did how ever say that he admired what I was doing with my car & truck and gave me some time to get them back together before he's to come by for another inspection. I spoke with him today and asked for atleast 2 weeks. He seemed cool about it. It still stinks non the less. I've been told by co-workers that if I plant bamboo by my fence, it will over take the neighbors yard within several months. Pay back is soo nice.

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
My parents come by today and gave me a helping hand. My dad was really excited, she was his dream truck and owned her for many years before he gave her to me as a graduation present. She was a 7 1/2 year father and son project back in the 80's. She never got finished.

Re: 72 K10 Frame Off
Thats awesome your parents came over to help!
I say you fill up balloons with a weed killer/water solution and give them a toss into the neighbors yard. Makes for a pretty lawn!!! Use the glycol from the hardware store so it wont start killing it for a few days. By then the balloon is gone. If they are too far away to throw them, buy a water balloon sling shot. A few beers and a few friends, man thats some good times in the south!

We have a collector clause in the city ordinance that says i can have antique vehicles as long as they are registered or im showing progress on them. we also have a clause that says if it cant be seen by the city or other people (via privacy fence or garage) im not in violation. we also have a peeping tom ordinance that cost my outstanding neighbors a hefty fine. i feel for you man, but your right payback is nice. |
