My next project

[57taskforce]

I was hoping to start working on my short bed 69 K10 this year; and I still may but I’m needing a 4x4 to haul wood and other junk around with. My K20 has a near mint OE bed with a 95% dent free original floor, so hauling anything with it is out of the question. I’ve still got my ‘98 K2500 but I’ve sold it to my brother and am holding onto it for another year while he is out of the country. After that it will be all his. I had planned to buy my current 2018 Sierra 2500 company truck this year as it is mileaged out but that is not going to happen because I’m not paying the ridicules trade in price it’s going to bring in a month or so when it gets traded off. So long story short I’m still short and 8’ bed hauler.

I got to thinking, I’ve got an ‘84 silverado C20 I bought last spring that I was planning to do some work to and flip. I know where a few th400/round 205’s are. I know where a few parts trucks are that I can rob the front spring mounts and front crossmembers from to add the front axle, and the rear front 4x4 hanger. I’ve got a few sets of 8 lung axles around. Yep.. C20 to K20 conversion using the 2wd frame. I’m not looking for or interested in another K frame swap. I’m going to do this on the cheap. Hopefully over the spring/summer. I’ve got all the tools to do it, and I’m going to document it just for the hell of it. I’m a glutton for punishment I guess! I’ll add a few pics of the C20 tomorrow.
