1979 K10 SWB "Jolly Green Giant"

Sometimes I change things
Overview Gallery Discussion
My friend has a 73 k20 with a nasty big block and all the standard goodies. He painted his. Now he is afraid to scratch it. It just sits.
 
That is how the Burb was set up. I haven't done much of anything to the axles I got from it.
 
Again, this looks good. I like it a lot. You guys keep building these trucks, and it makes me want to build one sooooo bad.
 
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that likes it. It means a bunch to me to get some compliments. Plans for the exterior include reinstalling the factory front bumper after a bit more front trimming. I would also like to try a reinstall the front inner wheel wells. I'll have to wait on that until I get shocks mounted, as I suspect they might need some trimming to clear the shock body. I haven't decided on reusing the rear bumper that I have yet. The rear axle is moved back, and I'll need to trim the rear portion of the wheel opening only, front is going to clear just fine. Once I am happy with how that looks, I'll hang the rear bumper and decide if I like it.
 
I'm interested to see what route you go with the rear trim. I am going to be moving my axle back sometime soon also.
 
I can gaurantee that the adjustment on the rear opening will be cutting only. Might not look the best, but I am not going to be grafting in anything else (such as a section of another bedside) to make it look better. We'll see how it turns out.
 
If I had a nicer truck, I might got that route. But I am a lot like you, I want it to look good but I'm not spending tons of time on something that may end up getting smashed.
