Maritime 1991 K1500 Scottsdale Back to life
So Intro's out of the way, Faith in my abilities shown to be lacking, but I expected a project, so I'll throw a list of "needs fixed" here and try to update as I go along, unfortunately once I start something usually I get too focused to take pics, but I'll try to keep my head out of the sand as much as possible!
to start:
-Raise Driver rear cab corner and re-structure
-Find leak in front brakes, (new everything, except lines)
-Re-install gas tank (removed to use on something else, didn't fit returned to truck but not re-installed)
-Replace bed (have one, needs some tin up front but otherwise like new)
At this point it becomes a working project, because I'll need it for work sooner than I can get everything that I want done.
-Replace moldy bench with buckets, or Bucket for now until I find a good set,
-Remove moldy headliner, thinking about button vinyl to mimic some bigger trucks I've seen as a replacement.
-Clean up the interior, possible color change, fiberglass dash,
-Window tint for back window, which is solid (thank goodness)
-change or remove door handles, not a big fan of the easy 2 break into style of them, and I've always wanted shaved handles
so far I have no plans for suspension aside from new bushings and rear shocks, I like how they ride and have no need for a lift kit,
Might seem like a long list, but I'm a go-to guy with go-to guy friends, and what I can't get for free, I get for cheap because of that, so I would say by the end of the primary build I'll not have spent more than 1000 to get it back on the road including safety and Registration.
Things that are new and/or don't need replaced/have ready to go on:
Brakes: rotors calipers drums shoes (possibly wheel cylinders)
Clutch: Internals, assembly and lines for the hydrolics
Rims: stocker 16"s not "new" but tons better shape than the steelies it has on it now.
Ignition, cap and rotor, wires and plugs may need to be changed, as yet unchecked due to inclimate weather and need to get it moved to my shop.so I assume new currently
headlights: not installed but I have a newer set waiting.
dropped rear bumper, I'll be hauling a low slung trailer (also building)
Power doors.
aftermarket deck with Aux input. - Subs and Amp
I think thats it for now, if I think of anything else as it progresses I'll just have to add it later.
Peace be with you!
