    85 K-10 DD Build

    My Trail Blazer lease miles are about to expire. Picked this lil gem up off a buddy for $500. Needs some good TLC. Need to have complete by end of month.


    So what are the plans? Here's the list of bought and paid for items:

    1. New rocker panels both sides
    2. New cab corners both sides
    3. Frame clean and paint
    4. New rear leaf springs with 2'' block
    5. New soft ride 2.5'' front springs
    6. Axle swap to obtain 3.73's (Current rear end is junk) *FREEBIES*
    7. 260 HP crate engine from GM Goodwrench
    8. All new exhaust
    9. All new cab mounts and suspension bushings

    Where I am at 1 day into the rebuild:




    Motor swap, axle swap, and patch panels done by monday.......I hope.

    My favorite style as well. I always thought one of these would make a great dd with a 4bt or a ramjet 350.

    Enjoy it looks sweet.

    Got some work done over the holiday weekend. Didn't get anything done the previous weekend due to my hangover. The crate 350 is resting in the garage down at the house. I popped one of the 31's with a tooth on the bucket when i picked the axle up. The 33's should be here today or tomorrow. So with a lil more frame clean and paint, should get the motor back in it and the rockers welded in.











    Praise the lord for NaCl and what it does to metal. I know its old, but my 99 silvy got new rockers already as well.







    The front axle out of the 79 is under it now as well. With Skycluunker 2.5 soft ride springs and all new bushings. Steering is swapped, just need to swap out the calipers and brackets now.
