my 75 GMC K10 build! [slow.]
Hi everyone, I'm new here! and from Canada [Eh!] I recently acquired my Step-fathers 75 GMC back from a family friend. We sold it 5 years ago after we had rebuilt it. I'll list off some of the goodies it had when we sold it
SBC 350 - 400hp 327 Cam, Shaved heads,Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock Performer 750cfm carb. And Weisco pistons. Rebuilt chain driven transfer case, with a Mile marker conversion kit 33" Super swamper boggers 4" Rancho lift kit Nice sound system with subs And a 350 tranny with a shift kit. We had sold it to a friend due to financial problems... I asked him to please hold onto it, until i got my license, because i would buy it back off him, and he said he would. 5 years later... I am now almost 17 and allready had 2 trucks. 1st one I got this summer was a 2001 Ford Ranger Aftermath pic... Then i picked up this heap for $500 Turned out it was going to cost too much to fix, so its sitting in my yard now. I am now broke and in desperate need of a vehicle.. but then I get a surprise.. I come home one day and the truck is in the yard.. Turns out my Mother and father had both chipped in money to buy me the old blue truck back! But it was/is in very sad shape... The beastly 350 was taken out and replaced with a tired worn out 305.. the moose killer bumper was taken off and replace with a stock bumper and a 6.5ft plow, the 33"s were long gone and replace with 235/75/15R snow tires,gas tank and bed are rotten.. And the tranny makes funky rattling noises in 3rd... So, my plan? Restore it back to its former glory and more! This is also my daily driver, so this will be a slow build up. I am going to put in a 6.2L Diesel with a more modern 5spd for MPG reasons. I'm currently trying to find some 35"s for it, as-well as a fleet side bed. and also put some 3/4ton axles under it. So wish me luck!... I only have old pictures of the truck currently, But i will take some new ones as soon as I find my camera! Hope You guys like it! |
