Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
Lost motivation on this for a good while, while I got the blazer up and going again. Made one final push over the past week or two, and got it on the road this past weekend
![]() ![]() ![]() Even did a lil "off roading" during the maiden voyage. My dad was pretty excited to drive it. ![]()

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
Mission accomplished.
Got all the odds and ends wrapped up, and found a window of dry roads between here and mom & dad's house...so off we go. Since the rebuild, the truck hadn't been more than 30 miles from home...nothing like a 360 mile shakedown run...lol. Do or die. Rollin down the interstate ![]() Cruises nice at a good speed ![]() Finally made it home. Got about 15 thumbs ups along the way, and even had one guy follow me off the interstate to the gas station to gawk for a bit. ![]() ![]()

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
Yea, honestly the fuel economy doesn't make a bit of difference to me or my dad. I have several other "fuel efficient" vehicles, and my dad has a company car with all the fuel paid for. It's more about driving a sweet old truck.
If fuel economy is a big concern, this is probably the wrong hobby. lol.

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
The reason I asked is for my own benefit. The only way I know how to build a project is with the intention of driving it every day. I have a 70 chevy 4x4 on 37's on the backburner that currently has a 6.5 TD. I know I can get high teens to low 20s with the diesel, but if it grenades I want to know my options. I love the LS motors, and they make incredible power with a little boost and a cam. 9 mpg's with a daily driver gets old...fast. Once I get my DD's built, then I'll think about a toy. Eventually down the road I want to put a 6.0 with twins in my 64 chevy II.

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
i understand the curiosity for a street vehicle, in fact my jeep gets really good mileage considering, i just think its funny when people ask that question first about it. not the year, not what the drivetrain is, etc. i build mine for driving, but not necessarily economy. i would like to know what a stockish 6.0 does in a K20 myself, as i really liked the '04 i had with one.

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
Great build. You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers to the fuel tank and sending unit you used would you???

Re: 69 K-10 Build for Dad
You're right, they both use 243's, but I'm pretty sure his L33 came as a short block.
