Finally got my K20 delivered today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

StepinNJ · 01-29-2013, 11:34 PM

Here it is. 350 4 bbl auto trans with factory air (compressor missing).
Factory tilt and Tach.
Custom seat and headliner and pinstripe on dash.
Was told this was a show truck back in the 80's.
It's titled as a K30 but I know from here that's not correct.

Wow I like it.

1972K20 · 01-30-2013, 12:32 AM

Cool truck. Did someone swap in a Dana 60 up front or does it have the stock Dana 44?

Don't know. How do I tell the difference?

1972K20 · 01-30-2013, 12:50 AM

The easiest way to tell is by the kingpin style knuckles. Also, it will say "60F" stamped in the webbing by the pumkin.

Beefy truck

One other thing, where the passenger side leaf springs mounts to the Dana 60 housing, the inside bolts go directly into the housing. So, actually, the Dana 60 only uses 3 "u-bolts," compared to 4 for a Dana 44. If that makes any sense.

Some more pics

**jocko** · 01-30-2013, 01:29 AM

what's the beginning of the VIN? KE2 or, oh my Lord... KE3? Or a converted "C"

NICE truck! Congrats.

KE2.
It is factory 4 wheel drive for sure.

**steelhorse** · 01-30-2013, 09:44 AM

Cool truck.

Longhorn 70 · 01-30-2013, 09:55 AM

Careful with that thing...It could pull a house off of the foundation.

Cool truck!!

68panelman · 01-30-2013, 10:19 AM

Nice truck, I like that they used the narrower rear axle so there is no use of flares or fender.

That's what I liked too. I could almost forgive the condition because of tough mechanical stuff already done.

longhorn70gmc · 01-30-2013, 06:41 PM

I like the early 70's Monty Carlo Hood Ornament.

sir_talk_alot · 01-30-2013, 10:05 PM

ive never seen a dually rear end, is this stock? where could i find a rearend like that?

no moa · 01-30-2013, 10:20 PM

Definitely not stock. The origins are still a mystery to me. Was built in the 1980's as a show truck.

sir_talk_alot · 01-31-2013, 11:02 AM

So i guess someone narrowed a dually rearend, and clearance issues and is the the frame and fender wells stock? This look has grabbed me, ive been looking at a 70 c20 down the road and id love to make it a dually
