71 4x4 SWB

[hevy_chevy67]

Well this has been a long time coming. I bought my 71 K10 from a board member (71swb4x4) back around 2005 when I was 17 so I've been sitting on it for a while. Put a few miles on it each summer and drove it around but for all intents and purposes its the same truck as when I bought it from Shawn. I've accumulated parts and now ready to tear into, along with my Dad, who I think is more excited about it than me.

This is not going to be a show truck but I'm hoping to have a nice looking weekend cruiser when its done. This shouldn't be too hard as Shawn had a good start on it. But I bought a C30 truck with absolutely perfect sheet metal (doors, fenders, cab). So we're going to swap all the sheet metal between the two trucks. Trucks are the same color so this will work well. With the cab and box coming off the plan is to freshen the old girl up and clean it up as best I can. Will be throwing factory tow hooks and bucket seats in it as well and other odds and ends as we work through it.
