Intake & Carb replacement

The old qJet was giving me fits again so I decided it was time to make a change.  My mobile mechanic David hooked me up and got old Yellow back on the road.  If you are in the Portland Metro area and need a great mobile mechanic let me know and I'll get you hooked up with David.

I'd like to thank all those responsilbe for helping me get this truck back on the road.  It's been a long but quick journey.  I still have a lot of things I want to do but for now its a wrap.  I get compliments just about everytime I get in and out so I guess we did ok!

Progress!!

Got the '77 back from the Blacktop Customs LLC.  4 coats of original Colonial Yellow and 5 coats of clear.  I'll be taking it back for the final wet sanding, polish and wax after its all put back together.  I got a lot of work in over the Memorial Day weekend.  New dash pad, instrument bezel, insulation, carpet, repainted floor vents, cab corner speaker brackets, new steering wheel, new shifters and knobs, new grill, new lights,  new seat belts and reupholstered bench seat all put in this weekend!

Rust Repaired!

In a previous post I took some pictures of the floor pans and rockers showing all the rust that had to be remediated.  Well, that is complete and the K10 is in for paint at  Blacktop Customs LLC.  Below are the pictures after the rust was repaired.  Thanks to Tony in Gaston for getting it all taken care of and prepping it for the paint job!

Bench looking good!

I got the bench seat back from the upholstery shop today.  I gave them a concept and I think they nailed it!  Thank you Cody from Scotties Upholstery!
