Re: 1980 Chevy K20 Farm Truck
Quite a few updates since last post. Chugging away, starting to wrap up this stage of upgrades.
Got another 27" US General toolbox. I quite like it! ![]() New firewall insulation installed ![]() ![]() ![]() Got the heater all put back together. Tested it and it works (at least the blower and doors work, haven't tested with coolant flowing yet)! ![]() ![]() New heater hoses: ![]() Pulled out all of the seatbelts to clean them. Before: ![]() After: ![]() ![]() Finished painting parking brake and got that installed: ![]() New window seals for door and washed all door components. I totally forgot to add some insulation and sound deadener so I guess that will have to wait until the next time i pull off the door panel. ![]() Got the dash reassembled, first time the dashpad has been installed in years! ![]() Cleaned up and painted any rust on fenders. This fender from my '78 parts truck was damn near perfect. Still on the lookout for a really nice driver fender. ![]() I LOVE this blue color ![]() New coolant overflow. Oldworked but was getting pretty crusty ![]() Floor all prepped for carpet ![]() And carpet is going in. Still fitting everything up. ![]() And finally mocked up the fenders quick ![]() ![]() I really want to paint this truck but that will have to wait until at least next year, just don't have the time for it right now. Plus i still have a little rust repair left. I'm pretty sure the '75 donor truck (doors, bed) was paint code Crimson Red and my '80 paint code is Cardinal Red. I honestly prefer the Crimson Red as it's a little closer to orange and seems to "pop" more. It's close enough to the original color that I can tell people it's the original color lol
