Got some new paint recently. Daily driver, drove 6 years with primer, couldn't decide on paint. LOL.

That is an awesome look! What size tires are they? What color is that!?

Are you building your own frame?

Heres a shot of my interior, almost complete...

I don't care much for red interior but DANG that is nice!

Just from the cab back. I should have built it all. Would have been less work.

What made you do that?

bustedknuckles · 09-28-2015, 01:52 PM

The way these trucks are built. The beds are out of proportion. I wanted a regular length short bed.

Few pics of my current project that I picked up about 3 weeks ago. Been putting in a bunch of hours to try and get it ready for Cruisin The Coast next week.
First pic is the before/after.

Couple of pics of it with my original paint '72.

Mcgaughy's 4.5/6 drop sat too low in the front, so I added a 1/2" rubber spacer/isolator until I can decide what to do next.
Boss 338 in 20x8.5" with 5.25bs and 20x10" with 5.5. 255/40/20 and 295/40/20. The next one (red one in the pics) will get 255/35/20 in the front or will go 3.5/5 drop.
Red one is getting LS power and I'm building it for my son.

That is sharp!

It looks good. Hope to see it up close during CTC.

I hope it makes it. Still have to finish up exhaust and AC this weekend. Backup plan is to take the'72.

efi-street, very nice herd you have! Some time ago I was deciding to find a 67 - 72 or 73 - 87 and settled on eventually getting one of each. Your pic's reinforces that.

Thanks!
I was lucky to get the '72 when I did. It's original paint and low mile. I couldn't afford it now (bought it 8 years ago). I've definitely seen an upward trend in prices of the square bodies over the past couple years locally. Figured I should grab a couple to build while I still can. Really want a 2wd K5 to build for the power tour as I wanted something big enough so that the whole family could ride with me next year, but these rcsb trucks seem to find me over and over.

'75 Sierra, now being restored. I have to find the perfect shoes and get rid of that ugly rear bumper

Looks to be in great shape?

Ventura76 · 10-02-2015, 08:09 PM

Thanks. It is considering six months of snow per year. But the wheels are just as ugly as the rear bumper. Engine is a 350, I am trying to find what size of spacer I need to get a result looking like that

jpnh · 10-03-2015, 11:43 AM

Cool project

C-Man,
Even though I had to turn my laptop, very nice looking truck. Hard to come by in Illinois. How about a couple more pics, side view, interior. Like your wheels too.
