  Paul Sedler of
North Dakota sent us these before and after pictures of his 82 Custom Deluxe K10.
Paul's truck was bought new by his grandfather, then passed to his father, and now he's
got it. The K10's original 305 has been replaced by a 350 crate motor topped by an
Edelbrock intake and Holley carburetor. It exhales though a 2.5 inch exhaust and
speaks with turbo mufflers. Suspension modifications include a two inch lift and the
addition of 31 x 10.5 Pirelli Scorpions. Body modifications include moving the
blinkers from the bumper to under the headlights, and adding "factory" running
lights. Future plans for the K10 include a new set of gauges with a factory tach courtesy
of a 78 C10, fixing the cancer, and getting it painted. Thanks for the picture
Paul.
  Joey, a self-diagnosed "Truck Freak",
sent us these pictures of his 1987 C10. Power is supplied by throttle body injected 305
and a TH 400
transmission. Performance modifications include a Hyper Tech chip, K&N air
filter, Flowmaster 2 chamber muffler, and 3" exhaust pipe. Joey shaved the
emblems and filled the stake pocket holes, added a Lund rear roll pan, chrome grill,
blackout light covers, and laid down the cool paint job. Behind the tinted windows
you'll find a Pioneer CD player and Grant GT steering wheel. The C10 rides on 15x10
Eagle aluminum wheels shod with 295 50 R 15 tires. Thanks for the picture
Joey. Update 10/20/01-
Joey has recently dropped his truck 2" all the way around, and added 20x8 Eagle
wheels wrapped in 275 40 r20 Goodyear tires. Thanks for the update Joey.
 Jarred sent us this picture of his 79 Custom
Deluxe 1/2 ton. This sweet 79 has a host of new parts including new fenders, hood,
doors, mirrors, front bumper, transmission, and weather-stripping. The interior has
been refinished with the exception of the bench seat, and has updates such as a Sony CD
player and tinted windows. Outside the body wears new paint, diamond tread bed
rails, tool box, and chrome tube headache rack. Suspension upgrades include swapping
out the 1/2 ton springs for 3/4 ton springs and a set of 275/60R/15 General tires.
Under the hood rests a 305 with Flowtech headers, turbo mufflers, and a K&N air
filter. It rides on General 275/60/R15's. Jared's next project is installing a
new 305. Good luck with your project!
  Jim Parsons of
Nova Scotia Canada sent us this picture of his1978 shortbed. This C10 is one of five
Chevy pickups that Jim has owned over the years. Jim's current truck has 82,000
miles and is powered by a 350/350 combination. The stock 350 utilizes parts from
Comp Cams and Accell. Future plans include ported heads, matched carburetor and
intake, and a set of headers. Backing the engine is a Turbo 350 transmission that
has been beefed up with a B&M torque converter and shift kit. The body of this
Canadian cruiser is 95% rust-free and has the original cab corners and rocker
panels! All of that pristine metal has been preserved under 1995 Dodge Viper
red. The suspension is currently stock, but plans call for replacing the factory
bushings with polyurethane bushings and dropping it a few inches closer to the
ground. The interior has been kept simple by updating it with 1984 Suburban seats
and console. Keep us posted on the progress Jim. Update:
The Second picture shows Jim's truck's current
state. New mods include a fully painted frame that received all new bushings,
headers, braided stainless lines, 3.08 Posi unit, dearched rear springs, and a cut coil up
front. Looks good Jim!
  Most before and after pictures look just the
opposite. The basketcase is first and the beauty is second. However, not every
fairy tale has a happy ending. Such was the case for Shaun Croissette of Hereford,
PA. These are pictures of Shaun's former 1979 K10 stepside. The K10 was
powered by a 350 crate motor topped with an Edelbrock total power package. The
suspension was lifted six inches to make room for the 33 inch tires mounted to a 14 bolt
3.73 rear axle and a 10 bolt front axle. Unfortunately, Shaun's truck was involved
in a collision with a drunk driver and lost. But, never fear, Shaun was fine and
very resourceful! The 79 K10 donated its engine, transmission, transfer case, and
cab to his 76 K10 and is still on the road. Thanks for the pictures Shaun. We
all mourn your loss!
