Glad to hear!

Great news..

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Guys, thanks for the support. Now sound like a loud wristwatch with the new mechanical valve tick, but it sure beats the alternative. Slowly getting better everyday which means closer to being able to go out to the shop.
Boy are my ideas flowing on what is to come on the project. Trevor

Trevor, glad to hear your recovery is coming along well.

Take care,
Ray

Good to hear all went well and your feeling better!

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Good to hear you are doing better. So how about sharing some of those ideas.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Any updates? Hope your feeling better

Just about ready to get back on it. I have been on a 10 lb lifting restraint since surgery and finally this week have been given the ok to workout with weights up to 20lb. I have to get to 40 lbs to be cleared to go back to work. Other than that, I am supervising my father and I's last build together, his 70 chevelle convertible. He helped me with my vehicles since '99 when we started my 70 SS, and I owe him to build his dream car. Trevor

That's good news and I'm the sure the old man appreciates it. I know my son is a big help and I really enjoy the time.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I'm glad to hear it's going well and your strength is improving! That's awesome on helping your Dad with his dream car! Don't be afraid to post some pics of it. :lol:

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

glad to hear about your recovery. read through the whole thread and can't wait till you get back on this great build.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Figured I needed a picture on this page of some tinkering I was doing.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I like that "tinkering" :)

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Glad to see you messing around with the K30.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Thanks Brett and Mike, just feels great to get back out there a little bit. Trevor

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Looks like the same pics over and over, but I swear there is some progress. Been working on dialing in my door gaps on the passenger side. Also got the rockers screwed on and almost happy with everything on that side before solidifying it.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Working on mirroring the rocker panel for the fourth door.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Great work Trevor!

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Got my rear suspension mocked up and wheelbase established. I just need to drill my holes to bolt the hangers on the frame for now. I will pull this bed off and do the drilling. Next up will be to put together my nicer bed and get it fit on the frame.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

For my frame, I decided to use the 1973+ (K10-K20) spring hangers. This allows me to possibly fit shocks between my frame and leaf springs. They are 5 1/2 " to the edge of the leaf springs vs. the 4 1/2" that a 67-72 hanger or 77+ K30 hanger. They are also quite beefy compared to our leaf hangers.

Hi Trevor, Wow.. the truck is looking Awesome.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Well, she rolls! Big step for me to get it turned around to finish the other side. Still got to finish the floor by the inner rocker and finalize the guts on my 4th door.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Looks great! Keep at it and it will be done one day. What's the plan for interior? I think tuck and roll leather would look killer
