Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Possibly a tailgate. That one i got with you at carlisle will not close/latch on the right side? Not sure what is up bed is square and gate is straight but is like 3/4" off on the right. Nothing binding that i can see and have made beyond every adjustment. Thinking it is rust that has changed it have a couple decent bulges on the left. Tried the other one i have and it is fine other than bent at the bottom. At this point dont really need more work other than to just paint one and put on.

I'm not going to make it, really busy at work and Archery opens up on Sat morning...
He had a tailgate but said it had a crease across the lower face of it. I'll send you his number, he lives in Mountville.

Ok, not in a rush. If need be I might tear the one apart to see what's going on?
Good luck sat, hope to be done by 730a.m.! But know that won't happen maybe by noon?

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
6 weeks of disappointing Archery hunting. Saw plenty of deer, just suck at shooting them I guess.
Rifle in 2 weeks, new scope should be here tomorrow.. trench is complete for pole barn, electric coming soon. My boy asked today when I was going to work on the truck...

Super dooper slow progress, if you can even call it that. Getting my lighting and electrical drops installed in my free time. Decided to install one of the new doors, they aren't in bad shape besides the rust in the pinch areas. Might look into getting them dipped, pending price.

Tho's trusses are just crazy looking, never seen anything like them! But i would love having the extra height in the shop. gonna save that pic for future reference.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I went with a tray truss to get the height up to 12' with 10' walls. Mine are 7/12 pitch but you could do others. Your rafter supplier can spec them out on a computer, I left the area over the open garage doors with storage trusses. They have a larger chord to hold weight. The overall truss upgrade was maybe $500 more. I didn't want 12' walls since this is a residential area. I have a build thread on garagejournal.com

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
thanks, the new garage is a dream come true... took me a deployment on the other side of the world to finally realize what I wanted, then I still changed plans 20 times!
As far as building, i'm learning as I go. Plenty of mistakes made but that's part of the fun. I don't owe a dime on the truck or parts so I have no pressure to finish it. It's not the destination but the journey...

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Hunting season is almost over, finally connected today after a terrible archery season... terrible because I can't hit a dear with an arrow!
Electricity being pulled through conduit on Sunday... getting closer to having a usable shop... Wife and kids gave me a few cool garage signs to hang up as well..

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
the first one was a big buck mule. he left the big dent. the top bumper bracket is still bolted to the frame, and fate delt him poorly. got hooked and dragged for 1000' or so then mashed by both axles. i left him. the next was in traffic, so i didnt stop. there are tons of them this year.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
it sucks, but it is a beater. one of the reasons i like driving around in old crusty stuff. doesnt hurt as bad when this happens. my tentative plan is to try and find a local desert 2wd truck that is in oe paint and use it as a body donor when i spruce it up. rebuld everything else nicely and have a patina k20. i dont know if i am going to try an keep it slant nosed or not, but i will get with you if i need a grille. thanks!
here is the resurrection thread on the yellow truck old and ugly ther eis a link to my other truck in my signature line |
