Mule Lick Repo Co. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:02 PM

Hello everyone, I am building a 1986 Chevy C10.
I am from Iowa and all we see are rusty trucks or repaired trucks, but I got a rust free Nevada truck dropped on my doorstep pretty much

. I live along interstate 80 and the former owner over heated the engine and blew it up and offered it up for $100 and a ride across Illinois to the Indiana border. So now it will have a new life here in the land of rust. So this will be a slow build beginning this winter, and it will be a cheap build but not cheaply built labor wise. It will be built into a driver. The name "Mule Lick Repo Co" came from researching Nevada ghost towns so it will get company signs painted on it eventually. Here it is as I got it

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:06 PM

Rally wheels and 275/60 tires for it

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:07 PM

Better already

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:09 PM

Some power washing and some super clean removed alot of the spray bomb primer

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:11 PM

Continued scrubbing took more of it off

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:15 PM

Finally got it scubbed to this point

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:16 PM

Pretty big change so far

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:19 PM

Got the seat stripped out and actually found floor pans!

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:20 PM

He said he got it hot but I doubt this hot lol

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:22 PM

Time to get to the real business and strip it down, this burnt up 305 will go bye bye,

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:26 PM

This build will be quite different, so you chevy only guys might cringe at times as I will steer off course abit at times, but I think it will be loved in the end

thats all for now so follow me on this journey

hardcore4life · 10-11-2014, 10:29 PM

Damn, you scrubbed so hard the bowtie fell off and letters took its place. So what do you plan for the drivetrain? A rebuild or a swap?

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:37 PM

I swalped the grill out of my daily driver c2500 as it was perfect and didn't want to ruin it with a pheasant

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 10:41 PM

My engine I am hoping to use is a mercedes OM617 5cyl turbo diesel I have access to but that might change yet. Second choice is a 1970 Caddy 472 375 hp 525 lbs torque......... like I said this build will take some different twists

IowaHooch · 10-11-2014, 11:06 PM

I did pick up a nice grill this weekend

73Super8 · 10-12-2014, 09:34 PM

Sweet deal. Lookin good.

IowaHooch · 10-13-2014, 12:12 AM

I got ahead of myself this picture is after it was cleaned up

IowaHooch · 10-13-2014, 12:13 AM

This is after i satin cleared it with a little brown metallic in it to darken it up

IowaHooch · 10-13-2014, 12:15 AM

Another

IowaHooch · 10-13-2014, 12:17 AM

Hopefully this week i will get the bed and the nose off of it, then remove the engine and trans to clean up the frame, this winter it will get a crown vic frontend and a 4 link rear,

rusty76 · 10-13-2014, 07:01 PM

I'll watch. Hope to see more soon. I'm liking the 472!

IowaHooch · 10-15-2014, 03:23 PM

every repo truck needs some bumper guards in case you have to push the repo away
