Sorry guys i wanted to do a build thread i got a ton of pics on my digital i got to upload them still. I got some on my phone ill post up. Its a 77 cheyenne 350/350 np203 14 b ff in rear dana 44 front 4.10 gears. Bfg 35 in mud terrains on 15 by 10 steelies. 4 in rough country lift springs in front blocks in back. The paint is ppg omni base clear urethane done in my garage at home by me and my stepdad. It was an awesome experience i learned alot and a paint job is alot more difficult then people think it took 8 months of all niters and alot of money too but its worth it to preserve a sweet old k5.

I put new fenders, new doors, all new weatherstrip, hoop steps, 81-88 moldings. Strikers, door handle gaskets, mirrors, welded all factory trim holes. Hmm oh yeah rhino lined the whole inside, new carpet front and rear, lame dash cover (looked better in lmc catalog then in person), triple gauge cluster, new printed circuit for factory cluster. Tons more i cant remember it all without looking through receipts about 8500 in total so far. Next i want to 8 lug the 44 and new wheels.

Looks good. 2000 grit and a cut and buff would make it as flat as a 10 year old girl
