Slow 84 K10 build
I just picked up an 84 Chevy K10 today. Single cab, long bed. Not too bad of shape. Gotta get it tuned a little, as it's running really rich. 4x4 works fine and it's got a 454 under the hood. Biggest things on my list are getting the window motors replaced, getting a new windshield and drivers wing window, and getting the headlight switch replaced (will probably do that today). I'll post more pictures in a bit. Oh, and it's a dual tank pickup (saddle tanks)
I want this to be a capable offroader on mild trails and can get me out to remote photo shoot sites and camping areas. Been searching online all night at work and coming up with a rough list of items to be completed for my project 1) 2.5" Pro-comp lift kit 2) 33" Firestone Destination MT style tires (soemthing good for all around, non-hardcore use) 3)Interior work (new face for the dash, new dash cover, maybe new seats) 4) Camper shell (or canvas collapsible shell) 5) some type of drawer setup, either homemade wood or a Tuffy setup 6) OBA 7) Some type of inverter setup 8) Lockers (lunchbox front , selectible rear) 9) Custom front and rear bumpers w/ some lighting to the rear and lights and winch to the front That's about all I can think of for now... Suggestions always welcome. My biggest problem right now is figuring out why the headlights aren't working. |

Re: Slow 84 K10 build
And a rough build list
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...3c&usp=sharing Just don't have any kind of camper on it or much interior mods. Same with some of the OEM replacement parts. This is gonna be a slow build. |
