[patti]

So after a while of creepin on here I bought myself a new toy a few weeks ago.... an 84 k10 with 70000 on the dash( okay okay 170000) 350 with a quadrajet a 4 speed gonna start tinkering with it more and more starting with a wiring harness from painless cause after 2 weeks and hids this one is toast and i look under the dash to see the worst wiring job ever.

Oh and i was pulling a trailer and the stupid f*** before me didnt put plates to sandwich the frame and the bolts ripped through the frame gotta love stupid people...

Now to see if i can figure out pictures

Any ideas on what to paint with to protect my floorboards from rust?

Nice looking truck!

Maybe some spray on bed liner or some rattle can undercoating to protect the floor. It just looks like the floor has a little surface rust in the pics.

What kind of hound is that? Nice Pick up and the painless is a good user friendly harness.

Ill post up some more pics of the truck if it aint raining when i get home from work and ill definantly get some of the harness

Kool truck! One night comming home from work down the HWY I felt something funny in the front. Thought man that's weird. It was raining cats and fish and I didn't want to deal with it. So I drove on home in my '87 K10. Pouring down doin 40mph in a 65mph zone. Got home finally and parked. Got up the next morning to take a peak and man I have no idea how I made it home. Lost the front wheelbearings on the driver side. Took out the spindle, bearings, axleshaft, locking hubs and so on. Was a bear to fix because everything was welded together. Got it back on the road a few days later. What fun.
