'72 Chevy K20 - Big Red
Well, I finally get a chance to post on here. I've done a lot of research on here while I was looking for my project truck. I found this truck on Ebay and just got it home today. The previous owner didn't know much about it other than that it's a '72 K20 SWB. I think that my first adventure will be figuring out exactly what I have. It has definately had some prior modification. Now for the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown.
The Good: -4WD -Short wheel base -Transmission shifts well -Body is pretty clean -Motor runs good -12 bolt rear end -10 bolt front end -engine has an Edelbrock intake manifold and Quadrajet carb -Power steering and brakes The Bad: -Super Swampers, had lots of fun driving it home in the rain -Shackle lift. It's too flimsy and causes swaying over 60 mph. It's coming off till I can afford new springs. -Rust. The Unknown -The VIN number. The number in the glove box doesn't match the title. The tag on the door jamb is missing. I need to find the one on the frame, hopefully that one will match the title. The one on the glove box is for a 1/2 ton 2WD. The one on the title is for a 3/4 ton 2WD. The truck is definately a 3/4 ton 4WD. My guess is a cab swap at least. -What engine I have. The PO told me that it was a 350, but I found an emission sticker on the front wheel well that says 402. I'll have to check the block marking and find out. -The transfer case. I haven't tried to shift it yet. Can anyone tell me the shift pattern for the transfer case? -The gears. I'm not sure what they are, guessing 4.10's. The Pictures: As it got to the house The engine A 402? Front end Rear end Bad shackle lift. Notice the horrible angle of the u-joint Transfer case The current gas tank. I'll be going to an under the bed setup Interior, the dog likes it already What's left of the glove box sticker Last edited by smsag04; 07-29-2007 at 10:55 PM. |
