Photos from this morning. Overall, this is a survivor. Very original, clean inside and out.
Looks nice and straight, what are the plans?
Current plans are a 3/4 ton conversion and 2" lift using parts I have laying around. Run it until the brand new tires are worn out, then regear and fit 37" tires. I have a 3/4 ton 77 GMC that is going to donate some parts to this project and my 77 C10.
Clean! I like it...and I like the plan
Ditch the grandpa running boards first thing please!
Wow nice find!

I have to find something to replace it with a step first (short wife problems). Currently looking at DIY4X sliders and a couple other options.
Step 2
A few more pictures.
Typical no headliner
Axles are off to a friend's shop with rebuild kits. As soon as those are ready she gets the 2" lift and 3/4 ton axle swap.
Found a nice set of Suburban buckets Sunday. Only issue is they are blue. Of course I didn't take a picture of the seats yet, just the extra center console.
And I found this on the stove tonight for the back window.
Axles are ready to install so we ran the sub up to my friends shop so they can be installed with a 2" lift.
First thing he found was a cracked main leaf. I managed to round up another set.

Looking like the Suburban well be ready to pickup this weekend with new axles and 2" lift installed. Then I can get started on interior work.
Cool!
Had to chase down a few more brake parts for the newer style 14FF backing plates, new shoes, hardware, turn drums. The newer backing plates are from a 1 ton 13 x 3.5 brakes while the 77 brakes were 13 x 2.5 and didn't fit. It would have been cheaper to convert to disc brakes at this point... but I didn't want to delay the project while it is sitting on my friend's lift.
