Just picked up a standard k10 swb w/ a sbc 350. Working on getting it roadworthy; it has been sitting for some time. The truck runs and rolls, so feel good about that. I har been lurking for some time just to make a to do list; this site has been great for that.

Here are a couple of photos of it being dropped off. Overall the truck is in good shape, with some rust behind the cab.

Current plan: fix all the broken bits and replace the standard with a 4l60e/80e, keeping this shifter on the floor.

Welcome from Houston! What transmission is in her now ?
I don’t know yet, I haven’t looked. Either way, at some point it is coming out. The weird thing is I can drive a standard, I just want the truck more user friendly driving in traffic and such. I’ll post up more details when I look at it more today.
