1975 K10 back to it’s former glory- build thread

The back seat foam was eaten up a little so I’m going to replace all the foam. I’ll be getting the seat frame powdercoated along with the rollcage when the coronavirus situation allows the PC shop to open back up.

The rear bumper looks homemade. It has a storage compartment inside, but the hinges are rusted and broken. I think ultimately I’d rather just go with a stock chrome bumper to match the front

Typically these pickups would have had some sort of step bumper, either the gray painted one you get when ordered as an option from the factory or some aftermarket brand added later either at the dealer or by the owner. Rear bumpers weren't standard equipment for long time.

Thanks for the info. Good to know. Here is the bumper on it. I don’t mind the look. I would just have to figure out how to fix the rusted out hinge for the diamond plate access door.
