New here and wanted to Say hi heres a 1969 4x4 C20 I think I stole yesterday. 307 V8, Muncie SM465 manual trans, Rockwell Timkin 221 transfer case, Dana 44 full float front axle with Spicer hubs, Runs good, needs a good tune up has been sitting for about a year.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-23-2008, 11:23 AM

Definitely post some more pics when you can. That is interesting as my 69 K20 also had the mighty 307 but mine had a 3 speed manual until I converted it to 4 speed and bbc powered.

Am I correct in assuming you have the Eaton HO52 rear axle? How about a factory No-Spin (Detroit Locker).

Power steering or power brakes?

Can you post a pic of your SPID on the inside of your glove box?

Just a heads up, for sale info needs to go into the classified section. You'll need to be a member to post in that section but you'll probably find the $25 membership fee is pretty reasonable for the great info throughout the board and exposure you get in the classified section.

morrisg2 · 09-23-2008, 11:39 AM

Thanks again, I didn't know that about the classifieds, Here are a few more pics I will take more pictures and post this was the add when I bought it, I will investigate and let you all know whats really there, for $450 I really didn't care as it runs and drives and looks good. 1969 Chevy Pickup K20 (4x4 version of C20) 307 V8, Muncie SM465 manual trans, Rockwell Timkin 221 transfer case, Dana 44 full float front axle with Spicer hubs, corporate full float rear axle

**Yukon Jack** · 09-23-2008, 12:14 PM

You have got to be kidding me! You go that for $450??? Deal of the century right there IMO!

You are welcome for the info on the classified section. You can scroll up to your first post and hit the "Edit" button to change the info about selling the plow. The mods will appreciate that.

Again, you got a killer deal on that truck!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 09-23-2008, 12:17 PM

Oh a little maintenance suggestion, make sure you keep your transfer case gear oil fluid full - I screwed up and let mine get low and ended up loosing one of the input bearings. The Rockwell T221 does not take kindly to low oil because when it gets low, the input shaft gets starved for oil.

morrisg2 · 09-23-2008, 12:41 PM

Thanks I flatbedded it home just for that reason, I want to change and check all fluides before driving it too far. I too couldn't believe the price. Thanks again for the info I found the edit button.

NorCalTank · 09-23-2008, 07:39 PM

Thats a clean looking truck, inside and out. Nice Score!

Fubar · 09-23-2008, 11:08 PM

$450!!!!! What a score, thats a sweet looking truck!

skchevota · 09-23-2008, 11:15 PM

Wow, thats a smoken deal there. Did you knock the guy out and take the keys or what!

Nice truck and welcome.

Husker · 09-24-2008, 12:21 AM

jeremy zander · 09-24-2008, 12:27 AM

are people in your area generous? or did you steal it and leave a pitty $450 hahaha

great score!!!!

morrisg2 · 09-24-2008, 06:47 AM

Thanks for all your replys, I'm looking forward to going through it. I'm sure the questions will start flying soon.

**Stocker** · 09-24-2008, 10:49 PM

Very nice truck, and an incredible price!!

I like the color, too...

desertrat · 09-24-2008, 10:59 PM

Welcome, and WOW what a deal you got. Nice truck.

morrisg2 · 09-25-2008, 06:56 AM

Thanks for all your comments, I'm doing a complete tuneup and changing all the fluides this weekend. Any special oils I should use that are any better than any others?

Mudder · 09-25-2008, 07:56 AM

Welcome to the site. Look around there is a lot to offer here. Great bunch of guys here in the 4x4 area.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-25-2008, 09:05 AM

Your axles, manual tranny and transfer case all use the same 80w90 gear oil. I've often wondered if it would be helpful to use a synthetic gear oil to cut down on drag but haven't tried it. Rather than buy the small containers of gear oil, I pick up a 5 gallon container and a hand pump that goes in the container. You won't need that much of course but I find it is good to have on hand.

Anyone try synthetics in the axles, tranny and t/c that can comment on that?

No real suggestions on the coolant or power steering fluid - I usually just by what is on sale at my local parts store.

I like Valvoline 10w30 but use Rotella T these days in the same 10w30.

morrisg2 · 09-25-2008, 09:40 AM

Great, I have close to 3 gallons left after changing the fluids in my 1951 Farmall A tractor, that was last weekends project.

lol its got a better interion then mine

morrisg2 · 09-25-2008, 01:36 PM

What is meant by a corporate full rear axle?

**Yukon Jack** · 09-25-2008, 02:28 PM

That should mean it is a Eaton HO52 which is a full floating rear axle. If you break an axle shaft, you can still drive the vehicle. The Eaton axle has a drop-out thirdmember which means you could pull the thirdmember and swap in a different axle ratio relatively easily.

Here's a link that gives a good definition of each type of rear axle.

morrisg2 · 09-25-2008, 02:39 PM

Thanks Yukon....is there a certian stamped # to check to see if thats what I have?

**Yukon Jack** · 09-25-2008, 02:42 PM

Does it look like this?

This is an Eaton HO52.

72BlckButy · 09-25-2008, 02:57 PM

Great looking truck, and

to the board!

westcoastflatbedder · 09-26-2008, 12:14 AM
