Thanks for the add. Just picked up my 85 K10 with 14 bolt 3/4 ton swapped axels last Friday. Been looking for quite a while for a good starting point,and i think i found it. Truck was from KY, so not much rust, only metal replacement is two small holes on the cab corners and a 3" long hole in passenger side outer rocker. The rest of the truck is super solid. Planning on removing the 3" body lift and keeping the 6" suspension lift. Let the shenanigans begin!

Welcome. That’s a big truck!
You may know already, that bed is from an early model, 70s.
Tank filler hoses are different diameter and length than for your 85. May take a little monkeying around.
The fillers switched to behind the door in the late 70s and the hose size got 1/4” bigger in 82 I believe.
