I have come across an 85 k30 chassis that I could get the axles off of but would have to find a hydroboost set up. It's coming down whether I want to sell my 86 K30 to fund the project.

Just ran across this post in 7dee2's project thread the other day:

There is a surprising difference in the strength of the frames, even though they are visually very similar. More food for thought. Depends on what you're going to use the truck for. This truck was built to WORK

I remember seeing this build when the pics would show up. Do you still have the pics saved?

I know he does still have the photos. I think he was looking for a new photo hosting platform to avoid paying photobucket.

On a side note, the truck is just finishing up getting its bed rebuilt and some body work done. She will be back to work soon, I'll post pictures soon.

Sure is! Still doing farm work. It actually just got a Sniper EFI installed, I helped clean up some wiring yesterday and took my oldest out for a quick test drive 😉

Awesome! I would love to see some more of these "K30" builds on here.
