Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Finally got Drill Sergeant running! It always amazes me how much time it takes to do all the detail work involved in putting an engine compartment together. Paint this - paint that, make sure all the bolts are uniformed. One thing I like to... do on hose clamps is I will put the clamp on and tighten it down, mark the excesses, take the clamp back off and cut off the excess, then reinstall.
Its the little things like that, that take all the time. https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...27108227_n.jpg https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...01489272_n.jpg |

Re: K20 Identity Crisis

I'm digging the body work on the in bed fuel tanks and fender flares. |
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Stunning work! I love it.

Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Because the cab is 7+ inches forward and up a few inches from its stock position, the 4wd shift lever needed to be moved forward and since I had to move it, I went ahead and put it exactly where I wanted it. These pictures show the making of all parts and pieces to do this.

Also the new location of the dipstick. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...75039684_n.jpg Oh by the way - I noticed all the dust on this project too, and yes it bothers me. I will alert housekeeping. |
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
I'm a collision repair, restoration tech, painter, you name it by trade for 15 years now, and I must say that's slick!! I want to find a C50 and take the aluminum Jer-dan Rollback bed I have and put on one. I think it would give my place a calling card and be bad- A. Keep up the work. Im building a 71 LWB K10 in memory of my grandfather right now.. maybe the rollback C50 will be my next project.. hhmmm

Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Awesome build, now you need some diesel muscle under the hood a gasser can't possible provide! Can you provide any/more details in what it take to put the C50 front clip on a p/u cab? Is that modified to tilt forward? Awesome build!
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
I'll follow this one too.
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Hey!!! I love your TCase shifter relocation. Do you care if I steal the idea for mine?
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Pretty cool build and it's different.
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
now were talkin. this thing needs some m715 axles or some rockwells. smething with a big six lug with super singles.
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Agreed this is one of the coolest builds I've seen. I'm in love with the gas tank idea. Maybe I missed it but what axles do you plan on running?
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
also when this is finished the 67-72 guys like us that see this drive by will have to look a 3rd even 4th time to figure out what they just saw haha
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis

|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Killer build. Very unique. Can't wait to see it finished.
|
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Killer truck! Nice work!:metal:

Re: K20 Identity Crisis
This is a picture of the new shifter configuration. Still need to do a little clean up on it.
https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...02434850_n.jpg Alot of blocking on the fenders and grill. The body work on this is probably nicer than a C50 body has ever seen. https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...07696832_n.jpg Paint work went very well, couple runs here and there which is always expected. I guess that is what wet sanding and cut and buff is all about. https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...52124642_n.jpg Grill turned out perfect. I have a backing screen that goes behind the grill which will be put on later. https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...48611322_n.jpg Lots of undercoating on the inside of the fenders. https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/...59005638_n.jpg Well now all of that is done, I think I'll have the front end back on the truck, including the hood, this week sometime. |
Re: K20 Identity Crisis
Awesome truck.:metal:

Re: K20 Identity Crisis
