Hi Dylan here,
I bought a 78 K10 last year and I’m almost done in getting it ready as a daily here in South Africa, I’m super keen on getting advice and info about parts I might be able to source from the community.

Truck is RHD - SBC 350 with torque cam, TH350 on 35s 12.5 15in

Has a real dodgy lift with blocks?

Interior needs work but happy otherwise

A quick before and after pic attached (after is black paint job)

Welcome from the Motor City Detroit, Great looking Rig! do you know where your truck was originally built, Flint -Janesville -St Louis etc.? Is there still a label in the glove compartment?
please post some pics of the interior.
