[79bonanza]

[chevysmithz71]

Hey look on the bright side…. You have a new alternator !

Thats about the only bright side. Too big a project for me. Good luck

 

[Russell]

I think the bright side is the bottom side! More light through the floor than the roof

 

[79bonanza]

no project is to big as lond as you take it in stride, really the only thing wrong with it is there is no floors or bed

o the best part was i only gave 400 bucks for a running truck with a 4 speed in it and good tires.

 

[sweetk30]

i have had 2 trucks worse than that.

79 and 80 k30's only thing on the 80 holdin the box together was the drop in bed liner. and 79 cab droped to frame when it got 3" of air on a snow pile jump and the cab folded up when removed.

 

[79bonanza]

why change it . ? its what i got and if i ever finish my 78 k30 with 37k orignal miles on it. i will have my sweetk30 project done.

 

[JBerno]

Thats going to be a lonnnnnngggggg ass truck once you weld those 2 sections together

 

[79bonanza]

haha yea the frame behind this one is my bonanza, im building it right now but its been slow going, it has a 14bff from a 99 van soon to be 56'' rear springs shackle flip and 52's up front with zero rates on them and right now a 8 lug 10 bolt but im searching for a good cheap dana 60. this truck is so i can break away from the rather girly toyota corrola on the weekends lol, i just scored a 4'' lift for free for it.

sweetk30, how do you have a 1978 k30 with 37k original miles on it lol did it blow up forever ago and just now get fixed or like a state truck

 

[sweetk30]

called ad in local swap / cheep sheets for a 1/2 ton for 500 as my buddy needed a frame. well wrong one for his needs. guy asked whats it for ? i said mud truck. he said i got what you need . got a k30 up top the hill in the tree line on the huge hay feild.

hopped in his 3/4 ton farm truck with auction purchased 35" 16" wide boggers on aluminum rims. had to see this farm truck. went up and looked at it.

blown motor and just sittin there. said 500 and take it home. so i did. still read 3 # on the factory sticker for the rear leaf spring.

some times thay fall in to our laps. just got to be ready to catch them before thay fall threw.

 

[muddybuddy]

do the floor with plexy glass, seeing the ground is cool as you crawl over it would help you avoid large rocks and such

 

[YZEATER]

haha nice lol, this may be a stupid question but do you only buy k30's sweetk30

cause those are the one with the good parts.

 

[scottsdale86]

o the best part was i only gave 400 bucks for a running truck with a 4 speed in it and good tires.

Gees that is way more than i would tackle and $400 is $399 more than i would pay. Good luck with that.
