I found this truck in the summer of 2010, pretty stock, needing tlc. It was in decent shape, got it for a grand.
Specs as it came:
1973 Chevy K10 Stepside
350ci
d44/12bolt
no a/c or heater(busted core)
sm465
np205
33s
stupid add-a-leaf in front
After hours of figuring out how to get this wide heavy b**ch home on a tow dolly and a long sketchy drive home with her swaying on the freeway (not the best way to transport a fullsize) I decided it was appropriate to name her trouble. It suits her well.
I put on a new set of wheel and tires shortly after and gave her a rattle can face lift.
I also bent my front bumper at hollister.
Thats my buddies ranger in the back.
Poser flex shot, and frame twister!
The Plan:
Turn her into a dirtbike transport, expedition wheeler, play-around thingy. Im a working college student, so this will be a low budget (relatively), slow build.
Planned mods:
-Bobbed rear
-arb rear
-front locker (or welded)
-52s/63s
-custom bumpers
-6 point cage
-dana 60/14 bolt
-trail worthy fab h1 beadlocks w/ surplus 37s
-6.0l lq4
-nv4500?
-doubler?
-winch
-belt drive air compressor (york)
-narrow the front end?
