84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I got her home tonight, it was definitely some work getting her off the trailer and into the garage. There will be plenty of pics and videos to come.

The K10 introduction.

Update from last night, got the rear ends swapped.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Subscribed. What's the plan? Other than a 5.3...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

To be honest I'm not sure just yet as far as the engine goes, I might use a different engine all together! One thing is for sure it will be different. It is either getting a healthy cam, headers and a different Intake, or maybe a swoosher, while there are so many reasons I want to go F.I. there are so many reasons why I don't want to.

As far as the truck goes, all efforts will be made to keep it straight, minimal fender trimming, functional interior to make a nice running / driving truck. The uses that pop into my head...

-Towing / Hauling
-Camping
-Mild Wheelin
-SHREDDING SAND DUNES!
-MASHING DOWN DESERT DIRT ROADS!

It will morph into doing these things!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build

That's a lot of work for one Saturday.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Having fun in the garage!

Got more progress done today, damn trans / transfer case tried to kill, me. Fell off the trans jack two times.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

You are moving along. Nice progress

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks! I'm wanting to get it at least movable by the end of next weekend. Got some small stuff done tonight, cleaned up some wiring, removed the pedal assy and measured the drive shaft.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Some small progress the last few nights.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Cool truck!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Some more progress today, got the brakes hooked up and bled, clutch master hooked up and bled and got the new heater core installed.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Good progress!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks!

Thanks, I'm still trying to figure out how I want to plumb my fuel fill.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

More progress today...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Getting further...

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Looking good! The mechanical stuff is right up my alley, the wiring is not my thing and would be a nightmare for me.

Enjoying your videos!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thank you sir...

So I decided again to mount the gas tank under the bed, here is the video for today!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Small update for today.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Update before the weekend, I have lot's to do the next few days....


I'm still trying to wrap my head around how to do my fuel fill.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

You are cranking right along on this project! I am curious to see how your fill and door turn out. I want to add a burb tank to my crew and thought it would be cool to have another stock looking door in the back to fill the big tank.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Progress is being made, although I don't know If I have the fab skills to pull off a stock looking fuel door. I would have to either cut one off my bed and move it back or cut one from a donor bed, I'm still rattling around other Ideas in my head.

Saturday Update
