My new to me '82 6.2L

This truck has been 18 years in the making for me: (18 years to finaly find & buy equipped like I wanted)
1982 Chevy K10,
TH400 w 5k on built trans (had 700R4 originally)
Full locker in rear, limit slip in front, 3.73 gears (so i was told)
6.2L NA, and plan to keep it that way. :-)
31x10.50x15 all terrains ( All 4 are a different brand! lmao! )
Tilt wheel, WORKING A/C, 127k actual miles
2 owners since new! His father bought new in late '82, died in '98, and 2nd owner (son) has had it since then.
the 2nd owner was a 63 year old diesel mechanic, as was his father, so mechanically it is in tip top shape.
Rebuilt 6.5L injection pump installed 4 years ago.
Needs paint & Interior TLC (coming VERY soon) and 4 new tires. (Staying with 31" Mud Terrains)
Rims LOOK rough, but they are solid (light surface rust & dirty) and will be repainted black.
A fair bit of surface rust, but no big dents (Just a few "Wal-Mart door dings) to be found anywhere! Passenger side rear fender rusted clean through. --typical--

Sweet!

Makes me really miss my '86 K10 6.2L. Very similar, except mine had the manual SM465 4 speed.

Nice ride! I always loved the Square Bodies! Just one gripe... where are the pictures of the awesome red block 6.2? Don't hold out on us! :D

Forgot I started this thread! lol
I have GOT to get my new photos uploaded!
Since the original post:
4 new Nexen MT 31x10.50x15 tires
new paint
painted Ultra Type 62 aluminum rims
coverlay hard plastic dash cover
repainted door panel's

Still to do:
Vacuum & re-dye the carpet
white faced gauges
seat cover
ummmmmmmmmm, I am sure I will think of something else later! :)

i WILL post up updated pics soon. I promise.

more pics as promised.
Still need to finish wet sanding with 2000 grit and polishing
compound and need to re-coat the hood because it streaked
bad (spray on bedliner stuff. Left shiny & dull streaks)
But I will get "finished" photos up in a couple of weeks.
For now, here is the most recent pics:

Great photos and congrats on picking this truck up.
My 6.2 '82 was the best truck I've owned.
Oh, the '02 is relieable, but that old truck just kept on going!
Makes me want to buy it back.....
Have fun and keep the photos coming!

Nice Project truck, Will sure looks great once finished. Keep up the good work!

So what ever happened to the new paint and engine pics?
