1970 swb K10 Resurrection (AKA "The Chum Bucket") "Photos"

[115-K10]

Its been about 9 months since I did much on this project. Once spring hits I get distracted by the muscle cars. The cab metal work is about done and is ready to be media blasted. Tore the front axle down to convert over to disc brakes too. Also have a fresh 350 short block ready to go.

More shots.

Hung the sheetmetal again after priming all the jams. Now it's time to do the filler and blocking work on the side metal. Here are a couple more shots.

Took a break on the body work and trying to get the truck running so it doesn't have to be pushed everywhere. Pulled the wiring harnesses out of the GMC K15 donor truck cleaned them up and installed them back in the K10.
Here is a video testing the dash accessories and turning over the engine for the first time.

[115-K10]

Rebuilt the steering column and installed it. Starter is in and rebuilt the distributor with a points eliminator. New battery tray, speedometer cable, alternator, master cylinder and power booster too. Pulled the seat out of the GMC K15 and temporally installed it in the K10. If it weren't for having a complete donor truck i would have a heck of a time locating all the odds and ends.

Here are a bunch more photos:

What types of shots are you looking for. This link has a bunch: http://s1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/ss454-71/k10/



BTW it started out as a Red 1970 swb k10 but in the end it will have a '67 frame; '68 clip; '70 (from the original truck) dash, roof skin, tranny, transfer case, front and rear Dana 44's, drive shafts, bumpers etc., '71 bed; '72 cab and doors, electrical, power disc breaks, seat, fasteners etc... I need to locate some '69 parts so every year is represented. That is why its called the Chum Bucket as it started out as a bunch of parts.

cool truck i waqnt those exact rims and tires on my dads 70 chevy 4wd he wants them to any idea on where i can get those rims?

[115-K10]

Are these the wheels you are talking about? http://s1030.photobucket.com/albums/...t=38bd228e.jpg

They are 16.5x6 on 6 lug. I have never seen another set and I got the set of 5 with the '67 chassis i am using. Not sure where to find a set of originals but Stockton wheel works out of California makes new ones. They are the Heavy Duty Truck - 20 Series at this link: http://www.stocktonwheel.com/4wd_offroad.php

[67chevy1series]

yep those are the rims i am talkin about.... they are so sexy! those tall skinny tires and those rims with hub caps look so awsome!!!!!! i need to find a set... what ever happened to the hub caps that were on the rims?

[115-K10]

I love the tall skinny look too. The tires were a ***** to find but specialty tire company still makes cool old school rubber in the 16.5" diameter. http://www.stausaonline.com/light-tr...r-traxion.html

The caps in the front are flat cone like and came on the wheels but the rear are car dog dish from the late '60s.

Did anyone ever answer your question on the D89 paint stripe option ? This is a picture of a 69 that had the paint stripe option on it's glove box sticker. ( SPID ) It might have been repainted, but it was probably put back on where it was originally.

[115-K10]

Hi Steve, thanks for the photo and info. I was able to find a few remnants of the pin stripe on the original cab and bed sides. Looks like they were painted on but not sure if I will put them back on. Thanks again for the photo.
