the new project truck. '78 K10

plans: 36 or 38" swampers, make a better body lift for it, build bumpers front and rear, bob the frame, remove the bed.

dreams lol: narrow dog house, D60/14ff, full exo-cage, super flexy suspension set up.


gotta love the yellow frame

notice the Dirtbike shifter as a window crank

the cab is pretty much perfect. minimal rust, straight as can be. almost to nice to trash. i may part out the cab since it is so nice. sell the doors and fenders, then get other ones in worse shape to tear up.

small block 350. plans for it a 4 barrel intake and a carb, thats about it till she blows.

It looks like that truck has steering coupler disc just like mine you wouldn't happen to have any pics of how it goes together would you. I think i know how but i just want to be sure.

thanks. i just picked up a holley 600cfm 4 barrel carb for it and an intake to get rid of the 2 barrel on there now. 38's are on their way for it. here in about a week or so i am gonna roll it in the garage to start tearing it apart.
