Advocate I
Well, I now have a new favorite build on OB! I've dreamed of a C/K10 body on a later D'max chassis with a SAS for aaaaaaaaaages.

Dang, man. I had a '67 C10 with the small window in back I wish I still had to do this with. I run a 6.6 Duramax in my '08 Savana van and have over 410,000 miles on it and would love to have something like that in a pickup just for camping and wandering.
Looking forward to seeing what else you do here. I come through North Dakota every once in a blue moon if you ever want to meet up.

Pretty sweet looking, man. I'll come see it in person sometime. Been a long while since I was in NoDak.

Body work done and primed at this point. Interior, engine bay, and between the cab and bed were painted, sanded and polished at this point. 
In paint, managed to mess it up real good and had to do a ton of wet sanding and polishing
Shined up and trim on, mocking up a 72 bumper. Going to mount some Baja designs less in the holes eventually
Lights wired up! Using Amber round lights mounted in place of the reflectors for my turns to simplify using the 02 harness.

Electric windows mocked up. I still have to swap out to new glass as the original glass has some bad scratches

Headlights and DRL/turns working! Gm switches the hi/low beams with the ground on the 02 trucks so to make the leds work I used the ground signal on a pair of 30 amp relays to power the leds, high beam signal is wires up to ground both relays so I have full power with highs
Made my own drls/turns
Bed liner
Dash mocked up, still working on wiring stuff up. I'm using a onegauge system for my main gauges and some glow shift gauges for egt and boost. Light switch and push button 4x4 on either side. Built it out of a glove box door, probably only going to be temporary as I'd like to ditch the gmt800 switches at some point.
Radio mounted up, using a kicker marine radio with amps mounted behind the seat to run the Chanel
Rear bumper build. Irrigation pipe and flat iron lol
Flush mounted rock lights for extra reverse lights
As it sits now after it's first drive with the tunes loaded. Kept blowing off the hot side intercooler boot but other then that it went well. Pretty much just have to finish up the interior and drive it to find the minor issues and fix them.
