    What yr grill is this ?

    Also wanted to ask if there is a trick to getting the stainless trim strips off? I have one that’s dinged I want to fix but they don’t budge much.

    A hood is next on my list. I don’t like the feature line.

    @bucket, why would someone ruin a perfectly good emblem to add a little more detail

    What yr grill is this ?

    Picked this up and began cleaning and have a few questions. What years? Would the bowtie on right be factory installed or after thought. The holes on front are sloppy but in back are perfectly smooth? What colors would the 350 emblem have been?

    Mr. Gasket Headers (updated)

    Also they dump close to my NP205 transfer case so will need to get intricate. Any one have pics of their pipes on a K10?

    Mr. Gasket Headers (updated)

    So it was just the flange that was Mr. Gasket on some homemade headers. On anther note, ordered some stainless eBay headers. Quality looks pretty good. Only issue is less than 1/16” gap between tube and frame so question is do I shave a little on frame or “modify” that tube?

    Best media for blasting the body

    Got a quote today of $700 for cab and $1200 for rest of body… and I’ve gotten higher than that. I can rent everything I need for a day minus the media for under $350

    Painting the gas tanks

    My girlfriend Elaine said I should focus on the exporting and forget about the importing, so maybe I could.

    Painting the gas tanks

    Yes very nice. Are those 20gal duels! Does that only come in black? Im thinking of doing a gunmetal color to match the transfercase I’ll be painting too.

    Painting the gas tanks

    Just took off 76 duel tanks and was able to syphon them clean and not bad on inside. Outside just gunk and light surface rust. Looking for advice on primer and paint. Thanks

    Don’t you love it when…

    When you do a cab off degreasing and you discover this which I was not able to see with years of grime caked on. Are there transfer case mounts or do I just swap whole thing out?

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    I’m “trying” for as close to a rotisserie stock restoration as I can. Im going to cut the two tack welds and completely disassemble to blast and prime every crevice I can.

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    Were the stepside bed sides originally welded to the rear tailgate brace or did guys do this later? Here are pics of two separate beds with completely different welds.

    Yes! Thank you Shorty! A 76 is what I have so that will swap right in perfectly .

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    So I have 76 stepside (2nd pic) bed that needs a good amount of work and found a new bed box that needs less. I’ve noticed some obvious differences where tail lights attach but can’t figure out what this thread hole is for? Also someone removed the tailgate brackets. Does anyone sell just those?

    Gordon Auto Body parts??

    I need to replace a door on 76 resto, very difficult to find without rot in my area. So started looking for set of doors and came across the Gordon’s on FB market place (no glass)

    Update to my 86 K10 Silverado Shortbed Stepside

    Do you have a completed pic of the bed. Looking at you first pic how is bed secured to side as I don’t see the inner bed rail?

    Rocker, kick panel, floor?

    In the exact same boat but haven’t gotten to cutting yet. Been trying to find quality parts locally first. Scored some early 2000’s Tapco rockers and cab corners recently. Still need floors, inner rockers and footwells.

    Correct me if I’m wrong.. stepside bed ?

    If you look at my pics I have a lot of spot weld holes to repair. Is there a more efficient way of reinstalling that strip? Modern adhesive’s?
