83 K10 Survivor Project

[Wwes]

Just picked up this 83 K10 to perform a full restore on it. Always wanted one of these trucks. Paid $500 for it.

The body is in great shape, only minimal cab corner rust. Some dents to handle. Needs a full repaint.





The interior is pretty rough, but it's all there.



The engine is the 305 with a TH350 transmission. Runs good thus far.



This one seems to have all the options as well



And finally, here's my other two GM trucks. Sold my 97 a few years ago and miss it daily.



Goals: Fresh paint, fresh interior, probably drop a built 350 with TBI (pref. factory style). Considered LS swap but want to keep it pretty close to period.

Will my spare set of tires from my new truck fit on this one?

Hope you all follow along as I dig into this and turn it into a stock show truck.
