Very cool, looks like you had some fun times with her.

[streetrodchev]

Yes, had a lot of fun in the mud, but decided it was to nice to keep in the mud. I got the truck back in '99. I still have this truck and just drive it on the street now.

Very cool mud pic's, what is in the back ground in one pic a M37 or something like that, looks wild.

Yes, that is my M37 that I run in the mud now instead of my '66.

'51 M37, 383, SM435, NP200, D70 w/ power lok front, D70 w/ Detroit rear, 5.13 gears, 44" Ground Hogs (cut)

'66 K20, 350, SM420, T221, D44, HO72, 4.56 gears



So this isn't a derail, here is one more of the '66

[mud.man.rj]

Nice 66 but the muddy M37 just is killer, nice pic, thanks for sharing.

Here is my 64 k10 slowly building it up since I was 16 (2 years in the works now) just dropped in a 327 I did a small build on. Its basically all stock but painted it a dark blue and white over the light blue and white it was.

My next project is a 64 Suburban with factory 4x4.

OH MAN! What a fine looking rig. Awesome truck!

I wonder about this truck. Is this not one of the trucks that Oem4me went and looked at last summer. those 2 yellow ones-Helms bakery. he did say that they were a little tough. White paint can hide a multitude of sins. look at the rear door on the pass. side. it still needs a lot of work. It is not a K10, but a C10 so if you are looking at buying it , make sure that it is legal as it is on a later frame and looks a little short in the w/base. the frt cab mounts remind me somewhat of that conversion job that I had bought for the body

I wonder if this one wasn't put together for a quick sale
$14,900.00?

how come on so many of these 4 x 4 conversions that these trucks look so impressive until you look at where the wheels are situated. the frt wheels are situated forward of where they should be. why not make the frame to fit,

always makes you wonder where else that they took shortcuts.

Yeah also notice that it's got 40-some inch tires on tiny little half ton axles and small diameter driveshafts.
Unfortunately just because people can fabricate or bolt on parts doesn't make them a good engineer.

Verrrry nice lookin truck'
One of my favorite 60-66 color schemes...
When I was a little strapper....trying to grow up fast..... our family homesteading on a beautiful piece of Heaven tucked in with the Chugach Range steeply rising to 6K feet less than a mile out our front windows and 1/2 mile behind us....the Mighty Copper River bluffs falling 1000 feet to the roaring torent below...and 15 miles beyond that to the west, four of the Wrangell/St Elias Ranges' mountains...(Mt Drum, Mt Sanford, Mt Blackburn and Mt Wrangell) the shortest of the four still over 12K' in elevation..............

Huh....?....What thu fu ....
OK....got sidetracked.....
It was 1970 and we had a '66 Carry-All with that same paint...The perfect rig for the time and place.

Sorry 'bout loosing track and the run-on-and-on-and-on sentence.....But that's a great looking truck.

You're sure right 'bout that.

What are your thoughts on the left front fender wheel opening there....at the top...?
I thought there was only one fender design for light duty trucks...
