Another New Member From Colorado - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Evening-

New Guy here just a little South of Colorado Springs. Ive wanted a K20 since I drove one as a 14 yr old kid taking care of some horses for the summer. Everything didn't come together until this month when I found a truck...

Prolly paid just a little too much for it but that's alright...I'd have paid more to get it looking like it is.

Im looking forward to the input and knowledge that can be found from y'all.

Welcome!, I think many of us have had the "did I spend too much?" thought. All is right if You like the K20 and want to keep it. BTW is your truck a 350 ,4spd, Big block,6 banger,3ott,307 we want to know and SEE PICTURES! Welcome again.

Welcome from down here in Florida also!

Ok Folks...here's what about half a dozen of you asked for...pictures...

I decided to call it "INAE" for "I need An Education"

It's got a 350, TH350, and NP205. It appears to me to be original. There's been work to it though. This is it's 2nd coat of paint...A PO either backed into something or was rear ended. I believe the bed has been off, the hood has been off but all in all a decent looking truck. It took a long time for me to find one that wasn't in need of a lot of work, ran, and the wife would be seen in.

Ive had to do a couple of things...tie rod ends and a drag link. The steering gear bolts were half out when I bought it...Ive got a new fuel sending unit...waiting on the o-ring now...Ive got ball joints...and a rag joint...just waiting for my better half to go out of town next week to install them. Ive got engine, transmission, and transfer gasket/seal kits too. After I get that all in I should be able to spring for a dual exhaust set up

Its going to take awhile to get it where I want it. I'll probably have to move before I can think about a "frame off" because my driveway is too steep and the garage is full of other heirlooms.

If you've been around this truck before or know about it feel free to chime in...

I'm looking forward to the education.

That is a very nice pickup. Great color scheme too. Although the motor doesn't look like its the original it looks really decent and definately a great start. I really like it and I know plenty of guys that wouldn't mind finding a good solid K20 like yours. Well done
