Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I have a nice 3 week break in my MBA courses from 19 dec to Jan, and usually work half days for a bit during x-mas so hopefully I'll get some work done. I'm trying to get part of the basement finished so that I can store the wife's seasonal crap, then make room in the garage for her Tahoe, then work on my truck!
what you don't see in the picture is the bedsides, fenders, inner fender, rear wheel well and hoods that are stored. Also the brake lines, wood bed strips (still need wood) and tailgate...

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
well, my 2 week break is here.. hopefully in the next few days I can get my garage cleaned up, install my new air compressor and get some holes in the cab patched.
I'm still not sure if i should paint or PC the radiator support. I want to get it mounted (for good) so that I can fire it up and hange sheetmetal over the winter...

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
well, some more good news on my end, semi good news that is.
For the past year i've been covering down on a job that's one rank higher than me. Well, three months ago I was moved into an office that is vacant, and one rank higher. Today they finally announced the job for hiring, I would hope that the odds of me getting it are 99% or greater. Especially since i'm squatting in the office and doing the job. Should know in three-four weeks. That would mean that i'd be a Major and make about $10K more a year. With that increase the wifey stated that I could drop the truck off at a bodyshop and get the paint finished up, that will probably be late summer before I see a paycheck increase though... Gov red tape at its finest! I'll take it though, still only 35 years old, started out in the Army making $800 a month and now over $8,000 a month.

Sim jobs are high $60's, flightline jobs are high $70's with us.
you should talk to Computer Science Corp, LSI or S3 (systems simulations and studies)

Congrats on the possible job! $96k in the Army? Dang, I picked the wrong field. Hopefully someday my little bro can make that much being in the military.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
What was the $80K job? Do you know what the Rucker guys make? I've been talking to CSC but they don't have anything down here right now. I'll take a look at LSI and S3.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
it's high 70's with perks that take it near $90...
I'm sure that they have gigs available at Rucker. 2 hour drive on the weekends and you're back home. Since you have Bel 206 time they should look at you for instrument training or primary (SCARY!). Maybe even an air force huey job... doesn't P-cola have contractors flying?

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
It all comes down to cost and preference as far as your rad support goes. A good rust preventative and paint should keep you from ever worrying about it again.But, you do have a good PC hook up. The 23 inches we got in Philly last Saturday, finally endeared the Burb to the wife and teenage daughter. The wife got to finish her christmas shopping in spite of the blizzard and the daughter got to go to and from her friends house. Snow = justifying improvements/cash to the burb!
![]() My Christmas wish for you, is to get many uninterrupted hours of work done on the money pit and some quality family time too! ![]()

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Thanks.. we only ended up with 8" of snow here...
I will have to have the powdercoat done at a local shop due to the size... i'll see what the quote is I guess and then decide. I also found a 72 GMC LWB for $1,000 locally that I might try to flip in the spring. Insepcted and running so we'll see.

Mike if you remember I had mine blasted and powdercoated and they only charged me $75. My vote is to have it powdercoated if you can.
