IA parting out 1979 K20 Silverado - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*gmachinz* · 09-30-2013, 09:40 AM

I picked up another truck for parts to use on my 77 High Sierra build. I'm using the diffs-everything else can go.....has a 406 with about 60K on it, nice emblems and such....let me know who wants a price for what.....I'll post pics this afternoon. Whatever I don't pull off goes to scrapyard this Friday.....don't need a 5th truck sittin around....lol

Gettin er done today...almost have the front end stripped. I set aside the parts that are worth saving-till have some trim to remove but overall the truck isn't salvageable and I usually don't say that very often...lol.

Here's some parts worth saving...if anybody sees something they need, shoot me an offer-I don't like throwing away good builder parts but I am not storing any more 73-80 stuff...

This is a cool part....it appears to be a dealer installed engine oil cooler...idk-it has correct mounting brackets and matching radiator support bolts to secure it as well as a factory brace supporting the hydraulic hoses as they protrude through the lower radiator crossmember...I don't see many of these and this one doesn't leak....anybody have a use for it?

Pretty good emblems-a few small pits but both sides have nice ones...

*gmachinz* · 10-01-2013, 09:01 PM

I am going to be using the front and rear diffs off this truck and here's the weird part-the only relatively rust free part on this truck is the radiator support and oddly enough I do need that as well for my 77 High Sierra project....funny how things work out...

Brockwaykid · 10-01-2013, 11:17 PM

how nice is the grille trim? bezels etc..,

I would say they're in good shape-there's only some tiny pit spots inside the headlight opening but chrome is nice-no rot, very good builder headlight bezels imo. The lower balance stainless trim is nice also-the upper trim is nice also. I saved whatever is nice to use-I wouldn't say they're show quality, but clean builder quality.

I would be interested in the fender emblems, depending on price, and could probably even pick them up tonight as I have to come down to Altoona after work anyways.

*gmachinz* · 10-02-2013, 12:57 PM

How about $30 for the pair?

Behind the filler panel there should be a piece that has 2 bolts going to the fenders and 2 to the core support and 2 to the filler itself. That truck have a good pair? Someone ecided to take out my front end

Does it have a horn on the driver side price +shipping to 53545 thanks!

*gmachinz* · 10-04-2013, 09:36 AM

Yes, it has both low and high note horns and I tested them-they both work perfect...no rattles and no rusty scale inside-really good OEM horns. I'd ike to sell the pair....how's $25 shipped for them sound?

*gmachinz* · 10-04-2013, 12:46 PM

So far, payment pending on the Silverado K20 emblems. Ecided to only use the trans and t_case....I don't have the time to swap the 3/4 ton axles in.

*gmachinz* · 10-04-2013, 03:46 PM

Here's a couple more nice parts I pulled and set aside...HD 4-core radiator w/top plate, copper/brass very nice shape, no leaks or damage-asking $60 plus the ride.

Nice SB fan shroud as well...$25 plus the ride....

Sounds good to me ill take em. Hown much to ship shroud to 53545 and what's the measurement of the hole? I have the 4 core but a bbc shroud and I wanna do the jeep elec fan mod. And need a smaller shroud hole.

superwade57 · 10-06-2013, 07:30 AM

Great price on that rad its not easy to find one.

*gmachinz* · 10-06-2013, 08:59 AM

The shroud opening measures 21.5" in diameter. Lol....you know, I have a friend at work who had his fan on his Grand Cherokee go bad so I upgraded his with an RF24 Motorcraft fan which is a 2-speed design. I hadn't seen an electric fan inside a shroud until I seen that.....crazy Chrysler.

*gmachinz* · 10-06-2013, 09:02 AM

So far nothing has sold.....truck itself is beyond beat but still some good parts....feel free to make an offer on any of it.

superwade57 · 10-06-2013, 10:01 AM

Can you pm me ur email for paypal and get you paid for horns and when you can a ship quote on the shroud. Thanks....there's a great write up on here somewhere about the jeep fan mod... it flows a rediculous amount of air and because of design is pretty quiet

superwade57 · 10-06-2013, 10:25 AM

Heres the write up...

*gmachinz* · 10-06-2013, 11:06 AM

That's awesome how well that fan fits. Obviously tho it appears the 67-72 guys have fitment issues that we 73-87 guys don't. I use a Crown Vic 2-speed fan on my 86 and it was tight but clears everything. I also swapped to a serp. setup.

superwade57 · 10-07-2013, 04:24 PM

Payment sent on horns pm sent on shipping addy

superwade57 · 10-09-2013, 09:47 PM

Did you receive my payment for the horns?
