Hello to all!!!! First timer here..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

big70chevy · 07-20-2004, 01:23 PM

I must say that this is a great place to spend my lunch break. I've learned a lot of things by just reading pevious posts that I never had a clue about. I must commend everyone on being so giving with the imformation that they have obtained. Now days that sometimes is a hard thing to come across.
I am from Southeastern Indiana. I currently own a 1970 K20. I ve had it for 8 years now. Bought it stock and threw a 6" lift and a set of 35" tsl's under it for the 4 years that I drove it. The past 4 years I've had it torn apart trying to work on it when the chance was there. I know that seems like forever but I work a 50 hour week as a CAD operator, plus I'm a big hunter who is in the woods from October to January. Then on the side I do taxidermy work for the next few months along with trying to squeeze some turkey huntin in on the side.
My truck originally had a 350 with a 4 spd. with dana 44 front and Eaton hogshead rear with 4.10 gears and locker. I've swapped out the rearends for a 10 bolt and 14 bolt corporates with 5.13 gears. 15"s of lift to get it up and a set of 44" boggers to roll it down the road. I have a slightly modified 454 to give it a bit of power and I'm installing an automatic 350 with an NP205 case. As soon as I can get my pics scanned and figure out how to post them I'll get something up here for all to see. Mudder67, love the truck. I admire it every time I see it at the Indy Jamboree.
Have fun and good luck to all!!!!!

Sounds like an awesome truck. How did you go about getting the big block to fit?

If you need any help posting the pics, let me know.

big70chevy · 07-21-2004, 12:40 PM

Actually the motor isn't in it yet. Still working on the drive train to get it all cleaned and painted before I go any further. I have a guy here at work that is supposed to scan my pics for me today. I'll have them as JPGs but then I'm not sure about resizing and posting them here. Could use a hand. Thanks..... I have a pic of it before I tore it down and a couple of it together with the the new lift and tires just so I could get myself all worked up each time I look at them. It is currently torn back apart to the bare primed frame.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-21-2004, 01:11 PM

I just got done getting my big block to fit, move your engine forward if you have that option, will make your life easier. I'll pm you my email address to help with your photos.
