New (to me) K20 work truck, pics and a few questions.

[Oilbrnr]

So I've been looking for a 3/4 or 1 ton work truck to help with various projects around the home. Easier sometimes that hooking up the flatbed trailer.

Anyway I got this 1980 a couple of weeks ago and had not had a chance to get it in my shop and up on the rack until last night. Overall not too bad. Body is real straight with no rust. Some light corrosion on the frame chassis as it spent some time in OH before coming to AZ in '85. Originally had an I-6 which has been replaced with a 5.7 that I need some help identifying. See pics as I want to say it is out of an early nineties truck. Runs strong, but the new Edelbrock carb needs to be tuned with new leaner rod/jets as it failed emissions, but not by much. Not a big Edelbrock fan, but at least the shafts aren't worn out! SM465 and NP205 work as expected.

Interior is good/fair, but the seat springs on the driver side are SHOT! PO was rather stout. Figure I'll get another bench and attempt to make one good one out of the two and then recover.

Also need the bellhousing clutch cover plate if someone has one. PM me if you do.





Pretty well fitting front clip:




Note exhaust injection lines, which are not used:








Bellhousing access cover needed:






Nothing like a lil' shade tree improvisation!




Uh, hmm....
