I will admit when you first started, I never though that truck would wind up looking this nice again. You did one hell of a job getting it brought back around and making it right. She looks damn good.

I am really looking forward to seeing it finished.
Thanks.. I am looking forward to it being finished as well.

Re: Crash's 69 K10

I just read through your entire thread today!! Pheww its a long one but gave me a lot of good ideas cause im am doing the exact same thing on mine. Well minus the digital gauges prolly. I have to say your truck is absolutely amazing. I like wiring but im wondering if I should attempt rewiring my harness or just pay someone else to do it to save me the time, And I don't really have enough room to spread out and do it. Anyway Ill be watching this one and hope you don't mind me picking your brain a lot!! LOL

Thanks .. the wiring is not bad. I did mine on my pool table; it could be done on a kitchen table. I saw how your LS is installed, I assume by the PO. If I was you I would put some type of cross member under the motor. I think they are a integral part of the frame on the older 4x4. Good luck with the build.

I plan on it. Im gonna get some DOM tubing and bend it kinda like the Pacific Fab setup. Weld a plate on either end and bolt it through the plate that was welded to the frame.

I do have a question thought. My 5.3 is a 2006 supposedly and I need to know if I can eliminate what I assume is the EGR from the exhaust manifold in favor of the manifolds like yours? I could be wrong as to what it is.

Yes, you should be able to elimate it.. You can have the person that does your PCM remove the emission stuff.

Re: Crash's 69 K10

Update.. After talking to Kyle, we decided that new bedsides might be better with as much as I plan on driving the truck. I will be posting the originals for sale later.




Off with the bed.



New exhaust..



Old..

New..



Loaded up and ready to go..







Kyle has already started preping for paint...




Hopefully we will have it all back together before to long…

Mark works really hard on his project. I bet he has thousands of hours on it by now. I wish I had half the want to he has I would have been done with mine years ago.

Keep up the good work you will make the June 15 gathering for sure.
