Here ya go
Pass side


Distributor


Drivers side


Spark plug boots are right up against the firewall but not smashed. There looks to be enough room.
Valve covers have about an inch maybe an inch and a half clearance.

[dazza]

thanks, it's the corners of the covers I'm concerned about and yours looks about like mine, passenger side corner of valve cover maybe a finger can fit, drivers side less, and hei very close as well. I was really concerned until another member had a posted the same thing and has been driving his for about 5 years with no problem.

I just don't think my valve covers were the version that came with the auto firewall-denting option.

appreciate the pics!

Got some work done on the Green Bean the last few months........swapped the motor and put a 4 speed in, dana 60 front with some new rubber n rims. All Pro Cross over steering and new PSC 2wd steering pump, brake booster and master cylinder. Installed a van tilt column and new steering wheel. About to pull the flat bed off and possibly go with a fleet side bed or may put another flatbed on....decisions decisions.














Definitely want to replace the springy stock seat, get a dash pad, mount speakers in doors and fix the sagging drivers side door (rusted at hinge).

[dazza]

my vote... flat bed.
tires look great!
what 4-speed did you put in? 465?
changes are great... just don't go destroying that fat chicks sticker, you can't find those NOS anymore!

awesome looking rig

Yeah I'm thinking of sticking with a flatbed, just too convienant vs a regular bed. Yessir stuck a sm465 with a new clutch in and swapped the dana 44 for a 60 I already had.
That fat chicks sticker is STILL there.....I somehow have not had the ability to peel her off just yet lol.

[dazza]

is it the angle of the pic or did you remove the "No"?? lol

Remove the "no"
Not discriminating. Welcoming all sizes buddy!!

[dazza]

nice one. good on ya!

[52napco]

Love it!!!! that K20 is looking sexie.

[Voodoo556]

Got the old flatbed off and threw another one on I had from my '68.

Replaced the wood decking with Apitong, ran new wiring and some LED's and now working on finishing the headache rack. Still need to get some backup-reverse lights, rear hitch and might put some underbody boxes in front of the rear tires for tools, chains etc and to fill the void.

Still need to:
Ditch the headers & install Ramhorn exhaust manifolds & redo exhaust/mufflers
design a front bumper
Build battery hold down (& possibly install 2nd battery)
figure out a new seat (newer model bench or buckets?)
Swap out the Eaton rear end for Dana 70 w/ discs (shackle flip & do away with blocks)
Repair drivers side door hinge & rot
Replace proportioning valve w/ correct one for discs/discs

Voodoo you did good ! You fellas shouldn't overlook Oregon if you are serious abut finding a K series. Lots of them on my side. I picked up a 71 K10 same as this one for $500.00, Cab was shot but fame and running gear where in fairly decent shape. BTW your improvement look impressive

Goes down the road pretty good, tall tires and 4.11's so it's a geared a little tall for 37" tires. Crossover steering was a huge improvement over the push pull stock steering. Rides a little rougher than I had hoped so might look into shocks and some soft ride springs.

Funny you say that, I went to Vernonia Oregon last January to pick this one up! Home of the Axemen!

[ratty69]

Looking good. Seeing what you started with and what you've got now really makes me want to rescue a 71/72 k1500 sitting in a backyard a few blocks from me. Too bad I've got no space or cash for it.

you need to stop coming up here and taking our trucks! Seriously, glad it's in good hands and has a future. Good luck with "Green Bean"
