1976 K10 Blue

[bmorse]

I just picked this '76 K10 up to use as my hunting truck. It is replacing a '00 1500 that required annual front end rebuilds and lacked style. I grew up in 77 and 78 1 Tons my Dad had and this is like riding in a time machine.

Truck has 350/T350/NP203, Dana 44 and 12 Bolt.

General plan is to address minor issues and put it to use. It will be a woods and hunting truck so it will have a tough life, but not beat on.

So far I've puttered with minor things:
Fixed tailgate latches and pivots
Straightened the rear bumper enough to be usable and prepare it for
encountering more trees

This week I'm going to try to:
Get the battery tray and hold down fixed up
The steering tightened up
Clean out the a/c ducts and replace the screen
Get the seat out to be recovered, and clean the floor out while the seat is
out.

I've put 300 miles on it in the last couple days and could not be any happier with the truck.

I am glad to be here! I look forward to advice and counsel, as well as holding myself to some accountability by having the thread.
