Picked up my first 1974 k10 about two weeks ago, it’s definitely a project truck. Has rear end problems, electrical issues, a janky exhaust, etc. Here’s some pictures

Got all of the wiring in the cab sorted out after I got off work, she’s coming along. I’m in the middle of doing the exhaust now

Looks like a great start. The picture with the tire beside the truck... well that's one reason to install a FF axle. Just my .02 cents.

My guess is frame swap. Or little metal plate swap.

Well the new exhaust is going on this upcoming week, got some flowmaster 40 series. (Correct me if I’m wrong) Will be posting more pictures one everything is put into place for good

And this was the old exhaust system I chopped off. It was a mess, rigged together with wiring, really poor welding, and just set up very bad.
