77 k10 short box winter beater build

[Jaysonb]

This is going to be a fun, use extra parts, make a good winter driver build. No restoration, nothing fancy, doesn't have to be perfect. It's been sitting here for about a month, and all I've done so far is start gathering parts. It's pretty rusty to say the least. The interior is in pretty good shape. Someone along the line stuffed a 402 in it, and it has a th350, and np203, and 3.73 gears. Plans are to pull the cab to start fixing the floor rust. It needs full floor pans, the short cab supports that go down to the inner rockers, and the long floor supports as well. I have all of those pieces, and also inner, and outer rockers, cab corners, and kick panels. I have a spare set of inner, and outer front fenders as well. My round trip to work is 150 miles, 3 times a week, so the 402 is coming out. I have a good running 250 that will take its place. I have a spare th350 np203 combo sitting here, so I have rounded up all the tools to rebuild the transmission, and reseal the transfer case . I'm looking forward to being able to to my own transmissions from now on. Not sure if I will do anything with the rust on the box. I think the 250 will work good with the 3.73 gears. I hope this will make a nice winter beater.
