1983 C30 ex-farm truck project
Making this thread to have a good place to dump pictures as I make progress.
Picked this truck up last Saturday. 1983 C30 6.2L Diesel with a Banks turbo kit on it. Short term plan is clean it, fix it, and drive it. Longer plans are a 5/8 drop and 19.5s or 22.5s but we'll see. Last edited by BLK2K2SILVY; 01-29-2018 at 03:33 PM. |

Re: 1983 C30 ex-farm truck project
Got most the cowboy accessories removed; toolbox, running boards, horse stickers, vent visors, brushguard, misc stickers off tailgate, and a few other things.
Installed some 2" drop shackles and removed the upper and lower overloads. Not happy with how its sitting but most of the rake is gone and it'll work for the moment. Fixed most the other essential things. Already ordered a good bit of stuff to freshen her up, exteriorwise at least.

Hey, truck looks rad! You need to resize your pictures in imgur, though! They're a little large!
