1976 K20 is home!!!
Igot my 76 K20 back today--FINALLY!!! Three years ago I traded it for a F**D ranger to get better mileage with all the driving I was going to be doing at my new job.The people NEVER drove it!! 2 months before giving it up I put new Pro-Comp 6" springs fr/rr,Pro-Comp shocks,new Energy Susp. bushings,rebuilt the entire front-end,new braided stainless brake lines,new trans,and new driveshafts fr/rr. So now she's HOME where she belongs!!

Re: 1976 K20 is home!!!
Has she forgiven you for trading her in the first place?

Re: 1976 K20 is home!!!
There is a post in the FAQ section on how to resize photos - it should help you.

Re: 1976 K20 is home!!!
See if you can knock the resolution down a bit. I usually post my pics at about 72 dpi.

Nice truck.That Woodland Green is like red.Once it turns,it really turns.Sure looks good polished,though.

Re: 1976 K20 is home!!!
wow, that thing has alot of potential. post some pics after you get done rubbing it out. the 589s are an excellent choice for any truck. those wheels dont seem too dated, and they compliment almost every body style.
i've got a soft spot for 70s K20s
