Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Been a little more progress in five months but still nowhere near what others have done. Love to see what others have been getting done.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
It was a driver when I bought it, over ten years ago. I did the interior, cleaned up engine compartment and buffed the paint, just painted it recently.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Very nice truck. Are those 255/85 R16 tires? I really like the way your truck sits, a lot of work and it shows nice job.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Not much lowered and brought the paint back to the original patina 3" /4" drop . Truck had a step lower than an Earl Schieb special basically was able to peel off the repaint to the original . Now I’m debating on rebuilding the 327 drop a 402 in it or LS it

I never posted mine in this thread because every time I see it I think how it has gone the "other way". My '72 K2500 looked way better when I bought it in '01 than it does now. I've done a lot of mechanical improvements but it's cosmetic restoration is still in the future.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Thanks Tim. It was hard to let go . But after 24 years it had gone through a lot of changes and needed a lot more . When the Suburban showed up I decided since I have three grandkids now that I wanted something with more room, and it was a perfect fit.
