Just thought I'd share some info on my truck. Started life as a 1980 c20 292 4 speed that is now on k10 frame with 6 inch sky jacker front springs 5.5 inch rear blocks and 3 inch body. Has the 14 bolt FF from the c20 and a big hub 44 front from a 73, 4 speed, 205, and soon 350. Sits on 16x10s and 39.5x13.50r16 iroks. I'm wanted to do this build "right", but I can only work as fast as I have money. This will pretty much be a for looks truck, with the occasional beach or camping trip. No hard wheeling ( hints the blocks and 52" rears) white k10 was the original doner.

I like it!
Thanks. She's definitely always been a pretty truck but was in bad need of a restore, or at least a good going through. Was starting to have a lot of issues.

I agree I do to. No the bumper isn't at its final location yet. I'm still getting that right

Nice truck. Make sure you replace that stock steering stabilizer. My truck is somewhat similar to yours, and with the stock steering stabilizer, it was downright scary to drive over 50. You can get a single Rancho to go in the stock location for like $60 on Amazon. You might want duals though

Ya all the shocks including that where toast. The engine is actually out right now as well. I am thinking of duals though with a new box as well
