Re: Project 73 k10
looks good, you don't see very many 73' swb 4x4's, let alone in that shape to start. Congrats. Trevor

Re: Project 73 k10
I agree, that thing is in nice shape. Every one I've had, 3, were rusted out turds.

Re: Project 73 k10
Don't they make exemptions for vehicles a certain age? I know they do in New York my uncle owns a NY state inspection station and has told me that his '70 GTO is exempt, otherwise it would never pass the strict regulations.
