Just bought a '79 K10. Looking to run it for a while and then probably restore it. Someone replaced one of the rear leaf springs with the wrong one so it has a bit of a lean to it right now, grr

. Also the bed looks like swiss cheese. I will have to find new metal for that, or maybe a wood bed? Anyone replace their bed floor? Looking to make a decent truck out of it with a little help and knowledge. Thanks.

Could be better, but I've seen a lot worse! 1st thing on the list is the rear leaf springs. Looks like the K20 springs will fit if they're 52 inch. Some on craigslist close by. Hope they work out.
