Build story
Found on the side of the road as an original with the 235 6 cylinder manual trans and no box. Repaired cab and front clip to retain original patina. Waited 3 years to source an original step side box with and luckily found one with a mostly matching paint color. Rebuilt a spare 350 four bolt main, new Holley carb, and headers. Then purchased an 87 K10 donor vehicle to convert to 4 wheel drive. We used the original 1959 frame and springs and fabbed the axles to fit including shortening the driveshaft. Used the 87 steering box to add power steering. A lot of care was taken to use all factory linkages to maintain parts availability.
