Title: Project Rusty
Post by: 1Ton on January 05, 2008, 09:19:24 PM
Here is my 84 Chevy K30 that I am building. Specs 454, T400, D60 Front axle, Corp 14 bolt FF rear axle I have aquired a complete new body for it. My plan is to build a nice DD work truck. Put my 8 ft plow on and use the heck out of it.
Here is what I started with. (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Rusty2_51038.jpg)
Here are the new parts.

Here is the disassembly (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Frontclipoff2_953960.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Frontclipoff_198940.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/bedgoingoff2_532243.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/bedgoingoff3_729209.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/bedoff_252534.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Cabremoval.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Cabremoval2.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Cabremoval3.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Cabremoval4.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Cabremoval6.jpg) (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Cabremoval7.jpg) Here is how it is pretty much (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/Newcabon.jpg) Since this pic I did some fab work on the firewall and installed the heaterbox, wireing, Dash, windshield, and doors. Before the rest of the parts get installed I have to do some frame repair and run new brake lines. So that is how it will stay until the warm weather returns.

Here is a truck that is close to what I plan to have when done (http://www.myoldtruck.com/gallery/files/8/1/4/1tonChevyslideindump.jpg) I am hopeing to find a 1983/4 4 headlight grill setup for it instead of the 89-91 blazer front that is used on this truck.
