Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad

Dad wanted a 4x4, so we searched and found a very clean 72 3/4 ton 4x4 frame for sale near Branson, MO. It was in pieces, but that's no big deal.



We really "started" on this project this past weekend...on father's day. So that's pretty fitting. We are bolting the frame together for the time being, so that I can fabricate the necessary mounts to put the LS engine and 4L80E trans, along with the NP205 t-case into the frame. I'll then blow it all apart again and have it powdercoated before final assembly.



Here's dad doin' work.


Here's the powerplant that's going back in. 2005 5.3L L33.


The lift kit also showed up last week. It's a Tuff Country Soft Ride 4" with new leafs all around.
