78SWB:
Here is a pic of when I went down to KC, MO and picked up my 1978 Chevrolet SWB K10.



Here are some pics of the ol' pos when I got it home.







Then I found some factory rally wheels, painted them, and put the 32" BFG ATs on them.





Took some crap out and got a new steering wheel!!!

Before:



After:



plugs/wires/air cleaner



CUSTOM BODY WORK  :lol:

Before:



After: Notice the body line where the cab and box meet.





New battery tray

78SWB:
As you could see in the other pics, the body mount bushings were shot. So I replaced them with some Poly bushings.
















Starting to gather parts for lift and axle swap.





The front spring hangers were completely rusted out





So I bought these



Front lift

78SWB:
Still waiting on axles here, but I wanted to get started.

Got the 12bolt out



Picked up the 4.56 geared D44 and 14bolt FF



Ran a buddys 36's for a few weeks



Rusty hanger
