This is the exact thing i want to do. Get an old chevy k10 or k20, rebuild it from the ground up with either the 5.3 or 5.9 cummins. Very beautiful truck.
you have a 82 to and 87 front end on a 78 may i ask why or is that how you bought the truck jus wondering i have a 79 k10 step side love the truck jus need to get all my body work then paint done
I'm restoring a 79 k10. It has the original 305 in it and I would like to do a 5.3 swap out of a new chevy truck with a 5 speed transmission to get some better fuel mileage as a daily driver. Could you tell me what all goes in to putting the 5.3 and bolting the transmission in it? By the way, that's one of the best looking trucks out there
How hard was it getting that motor to fit into that and hook up? Exactly what I want to do with My truck I got an 78 Chevy with a 83 front clip 15" lift 42's been my project for about 7 years
Hey i have a 81 k10 and I have a 6.3 motor , I was wondering how much frame reinforcement you had to do, I have none now and it has a 355 in it with a 350 turbo, and I'm hoping I can squeeze by with no reinforcements
