Re: Crash's 69 K10
Wow.. Looks great Kyle... Can't wait to get it installed... I went to Bob Howard Chevy this morning to get the frontend aligned. They spent 30 minutes taking pictures and asking questions before they even started working on it. Lots of questions about the paint.. I need to get some business cards from you if you have any. I also need to get the details on the paint as well so I can answer some of their questions.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Just spent the last hour looking through you thread! Awesome build! I think your truck looks great. I'm sure your right. I bet it does look better in person. Is there anything that you wish you would have done different?

There are a few things I might have done different.. but nothing major, and nothing that would change the outcome of how it looks. If I did it again: • I would have tried to find a better truck to start with.. This one is a cut down LWB (frame), it doesn’t really make a difference to me, but some people (on this board and others) don’t think much of that.. It most likely will affect the value of the truck if I ever decided to sell. I know the truck needed work, but did not know that both differentials need to be replaced/rebuilt. • I would have taken more time on the painting of the frame. It looks good, but there are a few runs that I wish were not there. Not a biggie, but I know where they are. • I think I might have used an original seat(s). I really like the way the late model seats feel, but they look a little out of place. Not sure on this one.. more work to come on this one. • I cut out the back of the cab for a late model brake light.. I would not do that again. Kyle had to repair that for me. • Used a later model (77-79) steering gear box (closer ratio) – I may still do this. • Built my own front cross member/Engine cradle. The Pacific Fabrication is OK.. But I have a good friend (McBassin) that could build a much nicer and better fitting one… • Maybe used a modern radio (cutout the dash). I like the retrosound, it looks great, but not sure it has all the features that I would really like to have. Sounds like a lot.. but it really is small stuff that doesn’t mean that much… Overall I really like how it all turned out.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Line-X does a pretty good job, don't they? I'm sure the pix don't do it justice.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Thursdays project… Oldest daughter decided to see how far her car could go without changing or checking the oil.. Looks like 45000 miles was just about right.. pull-a-part offered $200 to $300, decided to but an engine in it and flip it… interesting process..
   Fridays project.. Highly recommended, one of the best things I have done to the truck... 77 to 79 gearbox.. 3.25 turns Lock to Lock as opposed to the stock 67-72 of 4.25 lock to lock.. Made a world of difference in the way it feels and drives. The steering feels much tighter…  This evening I spent some time with the wife on the lake.. it was awesome..

Your truck turned out great! I am envious sir! You can always separate the ones that slap a project together and the ones that actually spend the time and do things right. Your truck was done right for sure. A complete package that should give years of reliable service. Did you pull the boat with her?
