Howdy all, I already stopped by the welcome forum to introduce myself so now I will introduce the project. Its a 1972 K10 350 with all orginal rust and wires cut off that lead to god knows where? (old farm truck).

farmtruckIII · 12-18-2005, 08:41 PM

I want a 67-72 4x4 soooo bad, good looking truck.

**tkeduk8r** · 12-18-2005, 08:47 PM

Nice project. My next will be a 4wd too.

Longhorn Man · 12-18-2005, 09:22 PM

That looks like a pretty decent starting point.
I'm just trying to figure the pos72k10 screen name... he must be talking about a POS parts truck or something huh? That is neither a POS, nor a K10.

krue · 12-18-2005, 10:55 PM

Looks like it's in a lot better shape than my trucks.

POS72K10 · 12-19-2005, 11:09 PM

It is a true K10 the previous owner swapped in a Dana 44 up front and a 14 bolt rear end both from a 77 K20. Its in pretty good shape I have to admit. Alot of surface rust and the usual missing rocker panels and holes in the floor. Mechanically OK but needs some work. Good starter since this is my first project.

**tnblazerk5** · 12-19-2005, 11:37 PM

cool ride

71swb4x4 · 12-19-2005, 11:47 PM

Looks like a good start!

**Canadian694x4** · 12-20-2005, 01:36 AM

Nice Solid Truck To Start With!

WELCOME.... THERE REALLY IS AN AWFUL LOT OF GOOD USABLE INFO ON THIS BOARD. YOURE GOING TO TALK TO ALOT OF FOLKS THAT FIGURE THEY KNOW A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN YOU POSSIBLY COULD ABOUT YOUR OWN TRUCK, BUT IF YOU CAN "SEPARATE THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF" (AS AN OLD FARMER FRIEND WAS SO FOND OF SAYING) YOU'LL FIND A WEALTH OF INFORMATION, & A TON OF HELPFUL PEOPLE. STICK AROUND .. THIS IS A VERY HELPFUL, FRIENDLY PLACE.

Ya gotta start somewhere, right?

Looks to be a nice truck, congrats.

Welcome to the board, enjoy the ride.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-21-2005, 12:50 PM

Looks like a great truck to start with.

*wolfthing2000* · 12-21-2005, 01:07 PM

A lot like what I have going on. 69 K-20 with typical floor rust corners repairable but rusty doors not bad, have to replace one............cheaper than fixing old door.
I have a 68 clip for it and a cherry bed.

383 going in it.
got the 205 transfer ready and got the trans ready to go back together with new parts.

You definetly have a good solid project truck for sure.
Easy to work on and a fun ride!!!!!

**Palf70Step** · 12-21-2005, 01:47 PM

Looks like a very good combo to build on. Welcome from southern Mississippi.

**special-K** · 12-22-2005, 08:51 AM

This looks like the same thing as jc`s old,72 Cheyenne/10 sold to Vtblazer`s friend.3/4t suspension under a Custom/10,all factory.They did this with the last diesel `Burbs in the late`90s,8-lug 1500s.Somekind of EPA emissions thing on them.

Wow, good memory, I'm impressed.

I have the same front axle under my 72 3/4ton Cheyenne Super too.

franko72 · 12-22-2005, 06:22 PM

POS72K10 · 12-23-2005, 04:42 AM

Thanks everybody for the welcome.

68C15 · 12-23-2005, 07:58 AM

nice truck. I wish I had a 4x4 sometimes. from the looks of it you may be finished before me. let me know if I (or anyone else in the area) can help.
71swb4x4 is a great guy & has a load of knowledge.

Americanrider · 12-23-2005, 01:03 PM

Nice starter... mine was a farm truck too. Wire harnesses are not that had to figure out, rust is a given. What stock options does it have?
