Re: 1975 K10 back to it’s former glory- build thread
And do I need to put this back before I replace the carpet? It’s paper and seems like some sort of heat shield. Thanks.

As far as the heat shield, I'd ditch it in favor of a foil faced sound mat of some sort. I got an 80 mil for fairly inexpensive when I did the cab on the my 63. Worth every penny in my opinion. Heat is dramatically reduced as is the engine and road noise. If I had to do it again, I would have paid more attention to the inside firewall and even up under the dash to help keep the resonating to a minimum. I did the floor and back of the cab but got impatient when it came to the firewall and regret it now. Youre doing great work on it. Im tuned in!

Thanks Chris, that’s exactly the kind of info I’m looking for. I’ll definitely do that, and I’ll remember to continue up the firewall area too. -Vinnie

Re: 1975 K10 back to it’s former glory- build thread
Waiting for the passenger floor pan to arrive so I can cut to size. I’ll be looking for my first welder too. I’ll get some scrap steel to practice on until I feel good enough to do the patch on the floor pan.
Quick story: I bought my 1970 K5 from the original owner. He opened up a welding shop after he learned to weld in the ARMY. He gave me his old books and manuals from the ARMY and told me I’d be able to learn enough from the books to get by welding on my own. Great guy! |

Re: 1975 K10 back to it’s former glory- build thread
I picked up a hickey sidewinder winch this weekend. The 120 bucks was burning a whole in my pocket so I thought it was a good way to spend it. The K10 has one but I might be able to put it on the K5 depending on what it takes to get it on there.
Hasn’t been cleaned up. The seller had no other parts to go with it at all. Bummer |
