New llantas for now, and repainted the wheels. I also buffed the tailgate and gave it a nice coat of clear. She just keeps soaking up the wax, and I can’t stop driving her!

I looked at DIY4x they’ve got some cool stuff! Thank you for the compliment! ??

I found this in nor cal and brought it so cal! Lake Shasta area! Thank you, I appreciate it!

Yeah I don’t think I’ll wheel hard enough to warrant anything too crazy! I’m not trying to spend an arm and a leg but I’m going to make sure it’s clean, safe, and ready for an adventure. I will do my best to get some Springs here shortly. I went through your build thread and I loved it!

Thank you! So far I can’t stop driving it to work I’m enjoying it so much! That setup sounds tough, big axles under a blazer is a gnarly combo.

That’s good to know! I’m trying to keep the truck relatively low, just enough to possibly clear 35s but will most likely have it end up on 33s. I love how cleanly your build has come along! It’s inspiring to me to get the nugget to that level! -Luke

I got this response in my email and I was beyond stoked when I read it. The goal for the truck is definitely to use it but I’m not sure it will ever get used around it’s maxium payload. I’ve thought about one day getting an Alaskan camper but it isn’t a serious thought. I’ll definitrly look...

That’s what I’m hoping!

Yeah that was more so what i meant! I know there are all sorts of guys that swear by these trucks as a general off-road rig. I will definitely head to CK5, i had always thought that it was blazer based. Good information, i didn't know that these trucks had that as a weak point. As for the...

They really are! I’m suprised that more people haven’t jumped on them. Parts at any auto parts store in the nation, tried and true powertrain, great design, and simple enough for anyone to work on! I’ll do my best to keep the thread interesting, right now it needs a lot of preventative...

Hey thank you! My dad and I built that 71 when I was in high school! It was a great project and fantastic experience I got to share. 6 years later and he’s still driving it every weekend. I would love a Cheyenne super, it’s on my bucket list for sure. Both trucks are just customs. That’s...

I knew that there was some life to be had in this paint, so I spent some time last weekend bringing her back to her former glory. Also I repainted the bumper. So far this truck has created many aliases; miner 49er, the nugget, and ole’ yeller. Here are some photos.

Yeah, the lines of a square body get me going! I knew I had to eventually get my hands on one.

For sure, don’t work too hard on it I didnt mean for the inconvenience! Pre-interwebs photos are also fun to go through though!

That’s awesome to hear! Yeah it can only be assumed that qwerks are in my future. I’d love to see pictures if you have any of the 77! ??

Yeah, I’m very excited to have found this one!

Picked this 1976 K20 up from an older gentleman in NorCal, he predominantly used the truck as farm, fishing, and hunting rig. My thoughts behind picking this up were to stop putting miles on my daily driver and to work on the K20 rather than butchering my daily more so. I have got plans that...

Yes, it was unbelievable! It's a bummer that so much is on fire. I am going to be using your k10 build as a knowledge base as this is my first Square Body BTW!

Well just got back from Washington, it was a fantastic trip! We hit all the National Parks and they all were so gorgeous. Here are some photos from the trip! Baja Kits upper arms worked great as well! Road like a caddy. Also, I bought a project I will be starting a build thread on shortly...

Installed the baja kits upper arms last night, the install took 3ish hours due to misplaced tools but was easy once I had everything! The finish of these upper arms are gorgeous, the components are beyond quality. I fudged the alignment but it didn’t stop me from testing it, and it is...
