Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
I knew it would have power, but didn't expect that large of a truck to feel like a tiny little 1/2-ton short bed when I took off in it.... Have driven stock LS motors & lot's of standard cab square's with decent motors in 'em, but never a combo like this!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
I am very jealous, sir. I wish my Duramax would book it like that, haha. Sweet video though, definitely looked fun!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Got to drive the wife around this morning in the truck before we left town - needless to say she was impressed!!! Wish I could have stayed around longer....

Keven will be working on fab'ing up a spare tire carrier this morning. We decided against using the one I bought from Tire Gate as it sat flush on the floor... Want it to be elevated & angled a bit. Luckily he can still use parts of the kit for it! Toolbox is bolted down & he's also working on the bed under-rail lights & Beau is setting the gauge parameters in the ECM. Should be with them until the end of June I would think before it heads off to Mario to be totally torn back apart.... Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
No, not dual - just a single carrier between the rear wheel wells.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
A lot going on as of late, but not too many pics to share... This is the spare tire carrier that Keven fab'd up to use instead of the Tire Gate one that laid the tire flat.
He also got the under rail bed lights installed. Beau's out of the shop for a few days this week, so maybe he can finally get the rear bumper designed on the solid works too!!! |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
No, the most that will probably ever be back there is some groceries... As for the bed floor, we're doing Line-X under-the-rails in black. That'll get done after or during all the paint & body work.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Here's how Keven is mounting the under-rail bed lighting - the wiring will still need to be better secured, but he welded on a neat little bracket under there rather than just use the 3M double-sided tape the lights came with.
He's also going to run a light inside the toolbox that will light up when it's opened up. |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Here's the front quick connect Keven installed for my jumper cables. This way I won't have open the hood if I ever need to jump anyone off or anything.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Truck-Lite LED's - fit any 7" opening & are 12V - we use a 24V version on all of our MRAP vehicles in Afghanistan & they are BRIGHT!!!!! Also tough as heck so they should last me a LONG time!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
So was I man!!!! Was actually amazed - not sure what I actually expected it to be, but never thought it would pull like that at all.... It should get even better with a proper exhaust & complete tuning on a dyno to optimize it all!
