1980 K10 Shortbed 4x4 LS swapped
Shortbed 4x4
6.0 LS motor LQ9 with stage 2 cam.. 4l80e trans. 241 transfer case
4.10 gears in the rebuilt axles.
35" tires, lifted.
Runs and drives as is, cruises down the highway great
Will need gauges installed and other small items like the heater blower motor finished up.
Good project with all the hard and expensive stuff already done.
Located in Willard, UT 84340
$11500 cash. k1.jpgk3.jpgk5.jpgk7.jpgthumbnail_20221225_153635.jpgk6.jpgk4.jpgk2.jpg
 
floors are good, rockers are good, corners are starting to show some bubble but not through the paint yet.
Wheel arches are good as well. Pretty dang clean for an 80
 
This thing is beautiful.

Its a cool truck that doesnt need much to start using it even as a daily. If it doesnt sell I gonna use the drivetrain for my blazer and axles for my stepside..lol
 
Thats the only fuel tank currently but theres no reason saddle tanks couldnt be installed
 
any reason cant go back to column shifter? (With an auto column, guessing this is a manual column?)
 
It has a tilt auto column in it now, would just need the actual shifter lever put back and then of course the linkage from the bottom of the column to the trans to get rid of that ridiculous "race car" shifter...
 
nope, you could add a vintage air easy enough though.. This one is cheap enough it would be worth it to add it.
Thats what I did in 2 of my other trucks.. Works way better then the stock garbage anyway...lol
 
Can you pm me a list of everything thats left to get it dd worthy? (Or post here, eitherway). I’d have to sell my ‘85 toyota, which i love, debating…
 
It needs some guages ( The stock cluster is sitting in the cab but youd need to figure out an electronic speedo of some kind), The heater controls also need hooked up, Looks like the previous owner bought a new control head unit but its in the dash unhooked.
Id want that transmission shifter changed out but it does work now.
Ive driven it around a little and up the freeway like 20 miles at a time and it actually drives great.
Mostly little cosmetic stuff etc...
Has a cable shifter for the xfer case that works but its mounted too far back so it hits the seat.
Had a terrible cheapo electric fan on the radiator so I installed a good stock mechanical fan and fan clutch on it, theres no plastic shroud currently, Would likely need a shroud come summer time or a decent electric fan.

Cant think of anything else at the moment.
