Meet Cheyenne, my new k20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

doo142 · 04-25-2015, 08:09 AM

I had been looking for a while, Deadhead helped me with some he ran across, then this one fell in my lap. It has no rot, but rough all over. I have been all over it and it now runs and drives reliably. I will slowly work on originality and beauty now. Some b4 and after pics.

come and get them , I have some 9.75 and 8.25 you pick your poison , them with dogdish caps add to the patina , I looked threw about 3 sets just to get colored wheels for one of my trucks , its a lot of fun

doo142 · 04-25-2015, 09:08 AM

I do have 8.25s , I need some front caps. I'm trying to decide on 16x8 fords I have(for tire selection) or the 16.5x8.25. If I end up with fresh springs I will probably do a small lift then the 9.75s would come into play.

most of the fords are 16x7 , I have 33x12.50x16.5 on one of my trucks and they clear just fine I might have some front caps , let me do a little checking ill get back with you , have you found any big blues for it yet , that's another hunt in its self

**DeadheadNM** · 04-25-2015, 10:50 AM

Nice!!! Glad you found one and an excellent one at that. Post up more pics when poss. Would love to see the SPID.

I've been meaning to send a PM - a local upholsterer replaced the vinyl windows in the K5 soft top I got from you with a really nice result.

I do have a set of big blues, funny you ask! That will be next when I do front end. I was guessing at fords width, but usually side with originals. I would be in to the caps if you have them, thanks!!

Nice solid K20! You sure don't see them that nice around here!

**72 tigger** · 04-26-2015, 08:28 AM

Nice, solid truck- did you find it locally? I was in Bristol at the haulmark factory several years ago. Glad you're saving it!

doo142 · 04-26-2015, 10:13 PM

This one came out of Oregon. It was on here for sale but sold then I stumbled on it from another board member and bought it ,about 2 hrs away. Hallmark is not far from me, they build nice stuff. A lot of trailer/rv stuff around here.
