Re: 74 K 20 Custom Deluxe ...Big Green
got the back up light fixed, the neutral safety/ BU light switch was off the column... put exhaust manifold gaskets in her only to discover she also needed the RH exhaust "donut" shes nice n quiet (as it can be with cherry bombs)
next up try and figure out whats up with the interior / courtesy lights... im starting to wonder if it is a problem with the head light switch since i removed and repaird/ replaced the dorr jam pin switches... and looked over all the wiring and find it intact cept the white to the drivers door pin switch was cut and i spliced it back together..still nothing.... then i shall replace the front steering linkage since the one on it is so loose it rattles when u jiggle it.... again im not sure how far i will get into restoring her rightaway other than outer floor/ rockers.... i need a truck that im not afraid to drive into the wooods and junk yard haul heavy things with in and behind it...

Re: 74 K 20 Custom Deluxe ...Big Green
almost done... inner wheel houses in wheels returned to the OE white, just a few more pieces of trim and a few details..... I hope to get rid of the cherry bomb / glass packs might go to OE single exhaust not sure yet..

Re: 74 K 20 Custom Deluxe ...Big Green
Yeah, I think it is one of the lime colors now. It is in direct sunlight making it look yellower, like the med olive aka yellow green poly. I almost went with that color on my truck; it was my 2nd choice but I still love it.
