67-72 k10 frame id questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

my67chevytruck · 12-06-2009, 05:03 PM

I have a line on a '72 k10 roller. I have no knowledge of the k10's
I have only messed with c 10's, but miss my k5 4x4 so this could get
me back in the 4wd game. Are there any telltell sign or anything I should be
looking for to verify 67-72?
Thanks for any input / suggestions.

I'll pull up Mike project money pit and get a refresher on what his frame looks like
just didn't want to overlook anything.

That`s a good one to come across.
The rear shocks aren`t staggered from front to back like`73-up.If the bumper`s off the front you can tell by the frame horn shape,which is just like 2wds on the end.The later rames are a bit longer in front and the horns would need cut to mount the 67/72 bumper to look normal.The core support mounts on the frame would need moved on a newer frame or the core support bolts will be relocated through the frame.

Thanks Tim!

The 72 should have a d44 disc front rear,the frame should a extra plat welded on the inside where the steering box bolts to the frame,the driver side front frame spring mount will have a plate welded across the front( I know the balzer frames do I am not 100% sure on the k10)There are alot of small changes between 67 to 72.

my67chevytruck · 12-08-2009, 10:28 AM

Thanks for the info duallyjams!

**special-K** · 12-08-2009, 11:16 AM

The trucks had the plate across the front of the driver`s spring perch and bolted on stop behind,also.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-08-2009, 05:15 PM

Also the 67-72 front spring shackle mount bolts into the flange and face of the frame, as the 73-87's only bolt in the face of the frame.

my67chevytruck · 12-24-2009, 07:09 PM

well, it turned out not to be a '72 but a '69 other than not having disk brakes not sure what else was improved from '69 to '72.I had to save it from the field hopefully i got into it good.

jeffspower · 12-24-2009, 07:38 PM

Cool... you didn't mention it was a shortbox! Nice bones to start with- just swap in a newer disc brake front axle and get started!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-24-2009, 08:09 PM

Very cool! You don't see those laying around too much anymore!

my67chevytruck · 12-24-2009, 08:17 PM

thanks guys!
Get ready for all my questions in the future. I'll start a build thread when I start messing with it.

Awesome find Heath...you don't see alot of 69-70 SWB K10's around as opposed to the later models, congratz!

my67chevytruck · 01-27-2010, 11:08 AM

Thanks Carlos..... i looked for awhile.... I did have to drive to gainesville for it.

mcbassin · 02-14-2010, 11:55 PM

Great looking truck! Wrap up the kids truck and start wrenching on this one!

Thanks, thats the plan Mike.... I was able to get some patch panels for the hack job the po did on the k10 floor, as a member was scrapping a cab.

msgross · 02-15-2010, 08:52 PM

nice find... I know the brake lines in the rea changed over the years, and you will want to keep an eye out for a disk brake front axle, it will bolt right into that frame. Just be sure to match the gear ratio of the rear axle...

Looks like it already has a 4" lift so you can run 33x12.5's pretty easily..

Thanks Mike, I acquired a '72 front disk brake axle, just have to read up on the haynes manual and figure out how to get the shafts reinstalled etc.

msgross · 02-15-2010, 09:39 PM

the axle shafts? easy... There are a lot of DANA 44 rebuild pages on the net... everything slides in and is held by the spindle... just get the bearings right!
