1974 c10 pre-runner. Thoughts?

[TJ1978]

I wish there were more pre-runner K’s but this one is different. Not really sure how “c10” this is besides the frame, or even “K” for that matter.

74’ c10 with an OBS front-ish...
thoughts?

My next build will be one.

Had one and getting rid of it was a mistake. I don't even have any photos of it. Black 2wd step side @Fastereddie & I had some runs in it. lol
Had a chance in the mid 90's to buy one like the yellow K5 but didn't have the scratch. Fully caged with the works. The red one is on IG.

Check out the old Riviera and Mark Newhahn trucks.

What's a pre-runner?


Funny thing is, when I type in "pre", pre-runner is my prompt.

 

[Desert_K5]

I think your truck is overqualified as a "prerunner".

That red one is amazing. I started following his page. I wish I had the $ to go that route. I prefer much more the go fast pre-runner than the slow crawling. Both are great but my preference in the go fast. Roberts customs had a couple vids from a few years ago doing the go-fast. But there’s is virtually none with the Blazers speeding through the desert terrain.

honestly, I don’t know what “pre—runner” means either. I just know what that style of truck is called.

@Babaganoosh @Fastereddie @ktmoutfront sounds like you guys need to turn on the GoPro.

Here is the Red Blazers @
He has some rad go fast video footage. Sure wish there was more. I certainly do not have the $ to switch and go that route. But I’m sure I could still with what I have, make some fun.

I have had a few, I can't run that fast with the rear spring and shock package it likes to dance in the rear.

If that were my truck in the vid. I sure wouldn’t have swapped out the 74’ front end/grille for an OBS one.

I do not have much for video. I would rather drive, than film.

And just in case you were serious, pre-runner is the truck runs ahead of racers to check for surprises, kind of like pilot cars with oversize loads.

Here you go a little more detail

We take a look at just what exactly makes a prerunner truck, and what trucks make good prerunners for romping in the desert!

They pre run the course so the driver/navigator know what to expect.

I'd love a desert go fast truck for bombing around in.

I have been kicking around selling the Jimmy to fund the 48 the way I want it, not how I can afford it.
