She is home.....finally
On the way back from a weekend in the mountains I get a call from the transport folks. They want to know if they can meet today to drop off the truck, which by the way is several days early. So I picked up the pace, told the wife no flea markets today, and got home as quick as I could. It was a little late in the day so I got a few pictures but I will post up a few more tomorrow. Bottom line is, its clean, drives great, and I am VERY happy with the purchase. I am confident if the pictures and description on eBAY were better, this truck would have sold before I got a chance at it.

Unfortunately she will be sold off to the highest bidder  I will spend a little time with both, at least long enough to get a few parts installed that I picked up for her. New high beam switch, new tilt indicator, and a few other little things. Then I will post her up for sale. I would like to keep both but if I were going to have two, they wouldn't both be K20's. I have some more pics of the GMC I will be posting up with some questions and comments shortly.

Re: She is home.....finally
I had today off so I have been rolling under, above, and around the GMC today getting a feel for what's what and I have a few pics, questions, and comments.
First off I am in awe at how clean/rust free this thing is. You hear folks say its rust free or no rust but I never believe that and this is no exception. However, the rust it does have is so minimal its hardly worth noting, but I will  Gonna make a few posts in a row so hang with me. First the rust areas I found... Under driver door, that's it...lol. Unless you count the exhaust pipes and master cylinder.

Re: She is home.....finally
Alternator....
I assume I am still dealing with an externally regulated alternator? It seems that way but could use some feedback. Here are pics of the alternator and the external regulator. I assume its fine to leave it as is. Its operating fine.

Re: She is home.....finally
AUX Battery....
The battery is missing as the PO said it was but all the wiring is there except for the relay. I will pick one up and get the AUX battery installed.

Re: She is home.....finally
Glad to see it arrived and better than expected too. Score! Congrats. What front hubs are installed?
Externally regulated alternator. It's the OEM-style set up. Does the cruise control work? It's not the dealer installed cruise for 72 with that switch on the column but cool nevertheless.

The hubs are WARN hubs, wish they were stock but maybe I will get them swapped sometime down the road. Yes the cruise works fine but I kind of wish it wasn't there since its not a stock piece. I will likely remove it at some point since I don't foresee me using cruise very often .The first thing I want to do is get the Dual Battery setup put back together. Everything is there but the relay. I have a relay that came in the AUX battery kit I bought from Roger K a while back but I want to use that for my other truck. Do you know anyone or where I could buy just the relay? I sent Roger a PM but haven't heard back. You don't happen to have any pics from your truck showing correct placement of the voltage regulator and the Dual battery relay do you? I found these threads but nothing definitive as to where the relay and regulator go... Link1 Link2 Link3

Re: She is home.....finally
Does the k20 have OEM spicers you could swap? I probably have a spare set but no blue dials.
Your voltage regulator looks correctly placed - outside face of the aux battery tray as seen on the attached pic. Is the harness seemingly intact? I'll dig for a pic of the relay location - seem to recall it affixed to the rad support. I'm sure you have the holes of not the relay maybe tucked behind the tray. Roger will get back with you. He set me up with my relay. His harnesses look good too. Do you have the washer bottle bracket for the aux battery set up?

Re: She is home.....finally
One more of the regulator.
EDIT: the two relays here are affixed to the rad support sharing the grounding attachment bolt (captured star type washer) with the outer most of the dual horns. I believe this is correct but welcome any additional input.

Re: She is home.....finally
The chevy has one yellow and one blue
, I will try to keep an eye out for some originals for the GMC.I looked pretty good for the relay but didn't see it anywhere. The rest of the harness is complete except for the ring terminal that connects to the + side of the battery. The wire and grommet through the firewall is there as well. Yes, the washer bottle/bracket is where it should be on the pass side for a dual battery setup. Did they come with expansion/rad overflow tanks? Thanks for the help and the pics!

Re: She is home.....finally
You bet - added a bit more above. No expansion tank sadly - not much room left with both batteries in place.
