body swappin

[Hittman]

I am in the process of switching the body of my 1970 C-20 4-Speed to a 1971 K-20 frame. All is going well (though I haven’t had enough time to work on it lately it seems....). The sb and 4-speed tranny are bolted in finally now I just need to hook up the brake lines, and bolt on the PS pump/alternater/carb etc. With that complete I am ready for the body swap.

I understand that the engine/tranny sit back further on a 4x4 chassis. Will I be able to use my factory 4-speed hump? I know I need to cut a hole for the transfer case shift lever but my concern now is the tranny shifter will be back a few inches as well. From what I can tell the 4-speed in this frame is the same as what was in my C-20. I actually have an extra hump which someone already hacked a hole for the trans case shifter. It seems that the tranny hole is in the same place.

Also where is a good place to obtain the shifter boot items and a knob for the transfer case shifter? Neither came with this frame I have.

One more thing – what kind of badges were on 1970 K-20’s? Mine currently has a C-20 emblem with the 8-350 emblem below on the lower rear of each front fender. I have never seen a K-20 emblem on one of these. Do I just need to get the 4-Wheel Drive emblem and locate it under the marker lights and remove the C-20 emblems for a factory look? Any pics of the correct markings?

I'll try to get some pictures of my progress out there some time soon.

Thanks again for all your help here.
