Put my tailgate letters on, along with my new sterring wheel too. I kept it original with the horn button but it was a good day.

Made a trip to the parts store. Bought everything I needed to finish up the rear axles.
New Drums, brakes, axle bearings and seals, new brake cylinders, new self adjusters, all new springs,a And new Master cylinder. Almost forgot the differential gasket.

Here are some pics.
Can't wait to get them installed.

I replaced the mirrors on my 72 K20 today with a pair of these
http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=OMA72PR

The fit is good,, they look good but I can't get the right side mirror to adjust in enough to be able to look right along the bed side the way I'd like. I guess that would explain why the old right side mirror was broken. Oh well,,, at least I can see better out of the drivers side !!!


Were the sport mirrors listed as an option on the spid ?
I have looked at the inside of these doors and the only holes are for the sport mirrors. There is no mention of any mirrors on the spid and the mount holes look factory.
The truck only shows 64k miles and I believe it to be accurate. The truck sat for quite a few years before I got it.

Mirrors look good but why is the normal and sale price the same? Weird, but the mirrors look good.

i walked through my garage on the way in the house, squeezed in between the hood leaning against the wall and the box sitting on end against another wall and thought " i REALLY need to get back to work on this truck!!!!":lol:

I bought these from Brothers because they were the best price at the time. This was my first dealing with Brothers and I don't believe there will be more. I'll stick with Classic.

Drove to my parents house and back with no problems. About 100 miles round trip. Went to go play cards and come back to a flat tire. Guess I know what I'm doing next.

Cleaned and remounted tire after cleaning the rim and rubbing a little green slime on the surface.

Picked up a couple tinted side windows at junk yard today, Soft Ray..they were all ready out just sitting there..Score.. Got home and decided to sound proof inside my doors. Used Ice Shield (type stuff) that I got at Home Depot. Tried a small section, well with surface rust, dirt, etc it would not stick. Ok what sticks to just about any thing? "Duct Tape"..so line inside of door with duct tape then went back and put the sound barrier on. Wow what a difference, very nice and solid sound.

Replaced valve covers and air cleaner. Got new spark plug wires and rerouted them to clean things up. Pretty happy with the results.

Painted one of my doors. Got a bit of orange peel in it, I guess that's what 2000 grit sand paper is for.
