Re: 72 K30 Build

For rgreathouse...

Here’s some ugly pics of a cool Longhorn Highlander 4x conversion w/14b and a sweet sway bar setup that was for sale a few years ago. Really, really liked this truck and tried to buy it at that time. It’s setup to haul a big camper level, check out those u-bolts.

Knew we weren't going to run overloads and didn't want the truck to squat with load, so the later setup seemed right for us.

Re: 72 K30 Build

They sure wanted a lot for that orange truck. I had thought real hard about trying to get it. I'm pretty sure that sway bar is from a P-30 chassis camper. I have a 10 bolt D70HD from one with the same type of sway bar.

Re: 72 K30 Build

Been awhile since I've posted so here goes. Here's Ray doing truck stuff, first time towing did great, no problemo! Took our neglected C10 project up north to a friends body shop for a gap & sealer treatment. Last shot I stole from one of his posts.

Thanks Scott! A few years back I fell pretty hard for a fellow members truck. Here's a link and pics of Justin's truck (1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...486244&page=14), it's sold now but is still a big inspiration for our C10.

Re: 72 K30 Build

Truck looks great Brett! You could always run the c/k30 sway bar on this as well. It is made to fit a 14bolt or Dana 70.

Thanks Trevor! So far it seems pretty good with the K30 front sway bar but haven't had a heavy high profile load either. Thinking if we ever do a big flat bed camper that'd be the first order of business.

Re: 72 K30 Build

Ray looks sweet with a trailer behind him! That grill on what looks to be a model A is sweet. I really love that pic. A Daytona or superbird, and a 54ish corvette gasser? So much awesome there. The C10 will be awesome. Is the Camaro done already?

Re: 72 K30 Build

Thanks Ryan, no on the Camaro not done yet, but big Camaro updates are coming! That grill belongs to a 29 Dodge with a hemi (customers car). The 54 Vette gasser and soon to be a Daytona belong to Chad, it’s his shop. I’ll tell yah Chad is quite the builder, here’s the original FB post with his 57 Chevy assault vehicle!

All I can say is it is amazing.
There is so much detail that you miss through pictures.

Re: 72 K30 Build

Thanks Zane, I appreciate the compliment. Also, gotta say it is pretty darn kool to meet someone that has followed this build thread!

Stopped and took a couple more pics of Ray bringing the shorty back from its gap & seal date with CBR. Kuddos to Chad and his guys Spencer & Brandon they did a great job!

Re: 72 K30 Build

Another summer came and went and unfortunately, we ended up winterizing the K30 a little early this year also. With only about 1500 miles on the clock, I’d hoped to drive it more but it just wasn’t in the cards. We did get to use the truck some this year, mainly just running up and down the highway (300 miles is all) pulling the car trailer. Here are some pics of it doing truck stuff including saving Mrs. 7dee2’s commuter car (her Old Blue). That little car keeps the miles low on our 2017 Chevrolet SS.

Very detailed post on a beautiful build. That is a truck that will turn heads for a long time to come. Plus it looks like factory. And may I say that you have skills.
