here are the pics of my k10. She needs a little work, but im the 3rd in my family to have this truck, so i got a pretty good deal on it. My dad built the 355 thats in it. And the front clip(minus core support) is all new. i painted the drivers fender yesterday.

Good luck with it, hope ya get it fixed up and save it. :grd:

I been spending much of the afternoon shuttling trucks and drivers to rental and repair shops, seems like the a/c in the vehicles are having a hard time to keep up also.

I just brought a tractor trailer around from out front into the rear yard, the dash temp gauge said 97. That's at 6:20 pm.

I know I will be anchoring the boat tonight and swimming in the river in the moonlight, and for the rest of the weekend for that matter. Water temp is 75. :waytogo:

In AZ yeah, love the heat. Not here. Big difference in the heat in AZ. I'll take 115 in AZ before I'll take 100 here.

Edit: How hard would it be to dual-tank her?

I think my favorite front end from 73-87 is the 81-82 quads.

You must be registered for see images

I believe the 81-83 has the thinner center bar in the grill. Its the 81 & 82 that have the turn signals in the bumper. I've got a good 81 bumper I intend to use and put white driving/fog lights in and keep my turn signals/park lights in the grill.
