Yup, this totally bad ass! The shop is awesome for sure!
Do you really have to go that far got powder coating?
Thanks!
I don't have to, but that's who I started all the coating with and to keep all the colors matching, I'll finish with them. I travel to detroit once every month or two, so it's not a huge deal. Not like like is a deadline project :sonicjay:.
As life goes, nothing goes to plan. Kids came into the picture which means a regular cab truck doesn't work well anymore and my tdi swapped ranger has become the wheeling toy, so now I need a heavy tow rig that's off road friendly. Since I wanted to stay with a square chevy, I found an 82 crew cab k30 in the cali desert with 110k and a 454/465/205. Truck is in really good shape overall, just baked from california sun. I drove the K30 back this summer and sold the red K10 with the D60/D70 axles and other parts I wouldn't need anymore.
The K30 is still getting the same detroit engine and eaton 10 speed. Will probably run an air shift duece rockwell transfer case as finding a kodiak/top kick divorced 273 for under $1500 is a unicorn hunt. An extra 200lbs in this truck isn't going to matter at all LOL. For suspension, going to do 4 link air in the rear and 3 link air in the front. When I do the rear suspension, I'll push the rear axle back 18-20" and take off the last 10" of frame. It already has the turning radius of a bus, so what's a little more haha.
If anyone wants a california 99% rust free bed and good running 454/465/205 they're for sale!
