One of my K20s pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dean · 12-04-2003, 02:40 PM

I was messing arount in the garage with my digital cam and realized I have never posted any pics of my other finished K20s. I've only posted my current project which should be painted in the next few weeks.

This is the first K20 that I did. I should scan in some of the before and in-process pics. I took it all the way down and had the frame dipped then worked my way back up. This was a completely rust free body that I swapped on the K20 chassis. This is one of the ones with the ZZ4 350 in it that I had problems with. 4 speed, 4.10 gears, locker, A/C, ps, pb, wood bed floor, etc etc. Soon to have tow hooks as well.........

This truck tows very well and I've towed very heavy antique tractors all over the midwest. I never drive it in the winter salt of course.

Looks good Dean, love that color, that is actually the same color as my current k-20 will have. Got any pics of your other 20's?

MMGOODIE · 12-04-2003, 03:05 PM

that is a very nice looking truck.

BobbyK · 12-04-2003, 03:10 PM

Niiiiice.I like that two tone combo.

*dtlilly* · 12-04-2003, 03:19 PM

That is a real nice job you did on that. What lift and tire size is that on there??

Dean · 12-04-2003, 03:32 PM

4" Skyjacker softride springs all around. 35" BFG AT tires at this time. I have had a few different tire/wheel combos on this one before I got what I wanted.

I'll scan some before and in process pics as soon as I get a chance. I have a complete photo album on the project.

Thanks for all the comments!

casey · 12-04-2003, 03:39 PM

click! save, that is freakin awesome, love to see more pics, now theres a truck of the month

bigblock73 · 12-04-2003, 03:43 PM

Looks nice, tell me more about the white 73+ in the background please!

Dean · 12-04-2003, 05:14 PM

That is my 85 C20 with optional heavy duty suspension. 350, 4speed, A/C etc. Nothing fancy. My dad bought it new. It is also a rust free truck and has many miles in front of a heavy trailer. 170,000 miles and the old 350 is still ticking. I painted it about a year ago because the paint was fading. Only thing left to do is replace the cracked dash.

It might become a K30 if I come across the right donor chassis.

s95930 · 12-04-2003, 05:36 PM

That is NICE!

srhart71 · 12-04-2003, 05:43 PM

Very nice work. One question, what brand are the wheels. I haven't seen a set like that in years. Always did love them on lifted 3/4tons.

meathead95 · 12-04-2003, 05:46 PM

that is a very sweet 4x4

**Yukon Jack** · 12-04-2003, 07:11 PM
