its a 1978 chevy k10, had a 454 dropped in it in replace of a 350 4 barrel according to vin . not for sale

**Corts60** · 03-07-2012, 06:14 PM

How about pics of the interior? It is interesting that it has the earlier 73-75ish fender badges, those fenders must have been swapped out at some point.

shipma3 · 03-07-2012, 06:23 PM

il take some of the inteior rather soon

shipma3 · 03-07-2012, 06:45 PM

Goldfinger · 03-07-2012, 07:30 PM

3QTRTONS · 03-07-2012, 08:57 PM

Have you figured out what you want to end up with?
(besides an empty wallet)

All kidding aside, its got a great profile! This gonna be a DD or a Chop n Drop project? How about pics of the tailgate and grill?

shipma3 · 03-07-2012, 09:02 PM

nooo not lowering it, probably lift it with 33s so i can use it as a mudder or offroader, got real low gears as it does not go past 60 mph

if i can find a new job i may get a 2 wheel drive and lower it.

3QTRTONS · 03-07-2012, 09:36 PM

........the ADDICTION deepens!

GOOD for you....... hope you'll keep the pics coming as you upgrade! There's nothing like a SquareBody!!!

shipma3 · 03-07-2012, 09:38 PM

i most defintly will

*nekkidhillbilly* · 03-07-2012, 10:04 PM

id daily that thing

THE "10" SILVERADO · 03-08-2012, 12:30 AM

Finish off the body strip through the back of the cab.

Looks good but I have feeling your going to want to go over 60 sometimes

shipma3 · 03-08-2012, 12:35 AM

ah yes, but i plane on getting a 350 nova when i get some money

. this will be an offroader . so 60 will be no problem

Why whoud he "Chop n Drop" when its a 4X4 thay would be like driving a ford its sacrilege

but nice truck little rough on the edges

sethv · 03-08-2012, 12:49 PM

Nice truck

shipma3 · 03-08-2012, 01:17 PM

thanks, it appealed to me with how good of shape (minus the paint pelling ) it is in . i belive the front fenders were replaced cause i just was told the custom deluxe ten emblems are a bit older then the truck on the front fender. does not really matter

bigblock73 · 03-08-2012, 01:34 PM

Has an older bed and TG on it...

shipma3 · 03-08-2012, 01:50 PM

really? must be a mix and match, shoot so it isnt as orignial as i thought, different motor different body parts . hmm all well

shipma3 · 03-08-2012, 03:02 PM

front end, more of the motor, better rear and rear end 12 bolt axle. purty sure its low geared as it has a heck of a time going past 60

trout · 03-08-2012, 11:45 PM

yea its a 78 that some one took parts from a 73 like the fender emblems front turn signals (under the headlights) and the gas gage but yea some one was just keeping it going nice truck btw keep it running and going

rayfinseats · 03-09-2012, 01:21 AM

Looks to be in pretty good shape but that white paint has to go.

cory d · 03-09-2012, 01:30 AM

must have been painted by a ford owner

shipma3 · 03-09-2012, 02:39 AM

i think your right on the ford owner lol. only someone like that would put a 600 cfm edelbrock on a 454

shipma3 · 03-09-2012, 04:07 PM
