Re: K-20 Rolling Frame 3/4 ton 4x4

Pre-69s aren't as desirable because they used a wider spring and hanger,so replacements and lift kits are hard to find. The pre-70 steering is also different and only manual. The front axles themselves (are they included?) are also considered antiquated,like the 420/221 combo,because they are closed knuckle/drum brake. Parts are hard to find and most people upgrade to the plentiful later disc brake axles. All this stuff is of great value to an early 4wd restoration. I think I'd offer it as a package as good spares for a correct restoration. They're still out there,and with more people junking this stuff than hanging on to it,the parts that remain will only increase in value and desirable. You can always break it up if someone wants only part of it.
