please excuse the crappy picture, almost completed with the double din radio slot and just finished with the firewall this weekend; still some more work to do inside the cab, then off to spraying; hopefully in a month or so... i still can't decide what color to paint it, change my mind every other week...

bowtieguy79 · 05-11-2010, 12:32 PM

Nice Build! I'm putting together parts and pieces to use a similar drive train in a 83 K20. Keep it up!

Conroe trucker · 05-11-2010, 08:57 PM

Did you by chance take a better picture of the label on the transfer case cover?
Would love to know if that is an original sticker or not.
I am kind of a sticker addict......

On the K10s the V8 sits back about 2.75-3" more than the C10s.
It is REALLY tight, my distributor cleared by about 1/2".
You might want to trial fit the bed and motor before you finalize everything.

If your drivetrain package works I might make a change on the third truck.
Please post ASAP.

Sir Fisher · 05-27-2010, 11:05 PM

sorry, don't have a better pic of the transfer case cover sticker... i also hope everything goes together smoothly; i guess we'll see when the time comes, just not soon enough...

Sir Fisher · 09-02-2010, 09:49 PM

finally got the hood, bed floor, 2 doors and all 4 wheel wells painted... synergy green met. this paint is kinda difficult to paint, it is very clear and will show all blemishes on the body; so good prep is a must. i was going with sunset orange for the longest time, but since there are so many orange trucks, i figure this green would be pretty cool to have. pics aren't that well, indoor pics don't show the shine and outdoor pic has too much glare.

dammitmitchell · 09-02-2010, 10:30 PM

oh my god that's an awesome green!

SWB4x4 · 09-03-2010, 06:42 PM

Nice work so far...that green looks good!

**68SWB4x4** · 09-04-2010, 12:33 AM

That green is badass! close to what I painted my ATVs frame.

1985-GMC · 09-07-2010, 07:25 PM

Nice build, that color looks good!

Permafrost · 09-12-2010, 12:10 AM

Any Updates?

Good call on the green! That's an awesome color, looks like you did a great job spraying it!

Sir Fisher · 11-24-2010, 03:18 PM

here is the cab painted!! and just rolled out of the paint booth... i'm very happy with it!!

Sir Fisher · 11-24-2010, 03:24 PM

here are some pics of the bed that we've been working on putting it back together... can't think of how to make the gas fill cover so my buddy made me this wierd looking cover... wish it was more boxy... i guess... but it's ok, i think i can live with what he made me. beggers can't be choosers...

Sir Fisher · 11-24-2010, 03:29 PM

going to sand blast and paint the frame this weekend... or that's what's planned for now... we'll have to wait and see what throws me off schedule...

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-24-2010, 03:41 PM

Very cool build and I like the color choice! It looks great!

Conroe trucker · 11-28-2010, 09:08 PM

Can you get a etter picture of the decal on the tranny?
I would love to get a repop of that for mine.

hey mike, what are you asking of me?? which pic of the tranny do you want?? and what is a repop??

1985-GMC · 11-28-2010, 10:55 PM

I think he wants a closeup picture of the sticker on the PTO cover. repop= reproduction.

The truck is looking great btw!

sorry mike; i sold the old transmission already, so i can't take anymore pictures of it.

Sir Fisher · 12-09-2010, 05:40 PM

finished painting the frame this week; hauling it off to my buddy's place to start putting the truck back together. it's nice now that i have some time to put into my project.

lycominghunter · 12-09-2010, 07:26 PM

THIS IS AWESOME. looks good man. Hopefully ill be able to do this to mine this summer

Keep up the good work

dammitmitchell · 12-09-2010, 09:36 PM

i would adress the issue of the tow hooks.
if you pull anything they way they are you run a pretty good risk of snapping them.
they need to be laid "fat side" towards the item towed. (flip them around at least and give them a bit of an angle forward)

will do, thanks for the advice; they came that way when i bought the truck.

Sir Fisher · 12-28-2010, 11:24 PM

mounted the cab back on the frame today and everything is good; but it was a pain to line up the bolts, took longer then i wanted, but we got it done.

1985-GMC · 12-28-2010, 11:42 PM

Lookin good!

Chevymaniac · 01-01-2011, 08:59 PM

I really dig that color of green you chose. I'am still not sure if i should piant mine green when the mods are all finished. My truck is the same factory color of green as yours was.

What did you use for painting the frame and what prep work did you do?
