1980 4x4 Project Build

[RoughKuntry]

Morning Guys, thought you would like to see what I have been keeping myself busy with Machine Gun Betty

Alright, I traded my 79 GMC Jimmy for a 1980 2WD C10. I just pulled the NP205 from my 1973 GMC. The good about this C10, Great Front Clip, Axles, extra tires, The Inline 6 has great compression for an engine that has only 117k on the speedo, Not to mention who puts 33x14.50x15LT Mickey Thompson's on a 2WD?

Cons:
The cab floor needs to be replaced near the rocker panels, Both doors need to be replaced And the RH side of the bed has major damage. The Guy I traded ended up putting the RH side down the side of a guardrail, so the bed has taken some serious damage,

Done
I have gotten rid of the 80's styled headlight bezels, Made the front of this truck look like a 1973 Chevy truck. Wired the tail lights back together, new head lights, fresh oil change, new spark plugs, she runs like a tank.

Going To Do After Winter
I am going to take a C10 and Convert the truck into a 3/4 ton 4x4.
Remove ever part from the frame, take the cab down to the metal shop and have them fix the floor boards, then take it down and have it primed & painted, Just Haven't picked a color yet. Pick up a few of those cans of Rubber seal for the floor boards so I don't have to worry about mud/dirt or sand. Cut a place though the floor board to place the NP205, take the parts from the 73 C20 to put on my new truck Axles, Bed, LH Fuel tank, Replace the Inline 6 Motor with a Used 77 350 5.7 V8. I will get yall pictures and will be uploading videos so yall can be right there and watch. I hope You Guys Enjoy The Show!

Future Of This Truck
10.5" Lift Kit on Interco IROK 39.5X13.50-15LT.
