Got myself a new pickup/project. My plan is to flip it. I picked it up for $450, runs great, drives good, needs a few minor adjustments or things fixed besides the body. A new body, full tune up, new paint and I should be able to sell it locally and make a profit. I could actually part it out and make a profit, but that doesn't give me anything to drive for a while.

1977 Chevy K10 1/2 ton 4 speed 4x4 regular cab longbox but the big downside is that it has the good ole 350 small block. I haven't even started working on it yet and I already miss my diesel. The mileage alone makes me miss my diesel . I'm hoping to use the money from selling this to buy me a another Ford IDI.

Even though its a gasser I though ya'll might be interested in seeing some pics.











Original 350 is 100% BONE STOCK!




First couple of fixes:
Temporary floor patches

New gauge bezel thing

 

Now youve gone and wrecked it,the Flintstone floorboard was my favorite part.

 

Thats a great looking classic chevy truck. Had 76 K10 short bed step side 350 4 speed... and i loved the thing. If you were closed id take it off your hands Nice find man!!

 

I had a 78 K20 4x4 and the floorboard rusted so bad you could throw a watermelon through the hole.

 

i have a buddy who you used to have the same truck we beat the krap out of it and it still kept goin

 

Well, we went up a canyon to go shooting this last Sunday to celebrate the 4th since I had to work and the fan just about ate the battery. Surprisingly, the only thing that blew on my was my rigged-up tail lights and that's just because when I put them on, I forget to fuse them. Oh well, guess I'll have to just fix the ones on the truck now.

I decided not to change the body out. By the time I found a good body, swapped it, and painted it, I'd be in it more than I could get out of it.

Some recent pics:





New paint is just about done, just the door and where my toolbox sits is left.




Also picked up 8 tires for free and got a set put on.

 

The body doesn't even look too bad. Id keep her just like that!

 

i say you get it up to shape and swap in either a 6BT Cummins or a LB7 Duramax

 

Its not worth that much to me. I'd rather have a Fummins. The next GM vehicle I own after this one goes will be a 70 Chevelle convertible with a Duramax and the odds of the happening are way beyond slim to none.

 

one word for this truck "RANCHY"
