Hey Guys,

I'm Johnny M, Projects Director at BluePrint Engines, and K10 Owner. Just wanted to say hello as I'm finally getting into restoring this old rig that we have owned since new, and I'm sure i'll have some Questions!!!

Truck is powered by a Stroker 383 with 430HP
Truck has a Performance Automatic 700R4 with Matching Torque converter
Other than helper springs, and a seldom used plow, its pretty bone stock.

it used to be one of the cleanest in the area, but the Ohio road salt has taken its tool in the last few years.
Mechanically its perfect, with a new driveline, brake lines, etc.

Looking forward to using the forum to hunt some square body parts, and bring ti back to its previous glory.

happy to be here!
Im in NEPA and have parts. Hit me up if you find you need something.

Thats not terrible.

what do you have in the way of bed, fenders, doors?

You will quickly find that oe body panels that can be repaired are better than new reproduction, I believe they are also thicker metal
