Got some VHT Engine Clear applied.. Supposed to cure at 200°.. I'll just let it sit in this shop for a while.. It's July in Georgia at least it feels like 200°.

brady01 · 07-28-2021, 12:38 PM

More paint

Very nice! Get that thing installed and go for a ride, it will help motivate to keep chipping away.

That's the plan!

brady01 · 07-31-2021, 07:24 PM

Slowly making progress ...

Perfect name "The Dog"

brady01 · 08-02-2021, 07:35 PM

Wasn't super happy with how the intake turned out so I stripped it and repainted it.

Cool truck! You’ll make a lot of memories with it

Thank you that's the plan!

brady01 · 08-06-2021, 12:01 PM

Hoping to install new engine tomorrow.. got a lot of new parts hopefully everything i need for a while.

brady01 · 08-07-2021, 08:01 PM

Finally made some progress today.. . Need another good day. You know its a long day of wrenching when you realize your head has been bleeding at the end of the day.

brady01 · 08-07-2021, 08:02 PM

More pics. Updated interior too..

No clue what happened to my head. Must've been a good lick cause I don't remember it

brady01 · 08-09-2021, 04:52 PM

This truck is going to be a back road, mountain cruiser so I went with a new rubber mat. Pretty happy with how it turned out !

**landarts** · 08-09-2021, 05:33 PM

Interior looking great and very practical. Love the build!

That's the plan just keep it nice and stock. Still needs a lot of cleaning.

brady01 · 08-16-2021, 02:17 PM

Nothing super exciting to share yet. Still a few loose ends before firing but we're getting closer.

I did score a set of wheels for it today 15x8 4nubs to run factory caps. I've looked for a set of these for a while they are hard to find.

Gonna have them blasted and painted white with factory caps and a mud tire of some sort.

**landarts** · 08-16-2021, 03:06 PM

They also sell clips that are attached to rims so you can put the old caps on. A few guys here have used them and said they work well. They are used sometimes when the guys put the oversized transport rims on the truck and want the old caps to work.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 08-16-2021, 06:32 PM

Well done so far, what did you paint the exhaust manifolds with ??? thanks

That's great Brady, ty

Nice work on your K10! definitely stinks on the engine but you made the right choice. I've been thinking of putting a rubber mat in my K20 I want to plow with. Maybe it'll be easier to clean?

I really wanted carpet because I love how new carpet looks, but muddy footprints come off of a rubber mat much easier .

He's alive! Didn't drive it yet, but will be driving it soon.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 08-29-2021, 07:15 PM

Right on Brady, it sure looks good from here man.
