Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

Picked up a Dana 60 Kingpin to upgrade the front end, pulled the motor and cleaned, and cleaned, and cleaned..... finally got it to what i think is good enough will be prepping priming and painting over the next two weeks. Got a buddy flying in to help with the installation of all the 12v goodies so i have to be done by then. I am going with the Cummins beige as you can see on the adapter.

I am definitely not claiming to be a professional painter but i think it turned out alright. Valve covers, timing cover and tappet cover will all be different so didnt care about coverage on them.

Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

I have found a lot of great information on these threads and appreciate the members for sharing so we can all learn from them. On that note, I was wondering if anyone has pedal suggestions/lessons learned from these swaps? Original truck was auto so i am going to need to add a clutch anyway, find original chevy pedals? go all new, is there a known set that works together?
