So which year models were the same? I thought that they switched at some point?

I can't remember what year they switched, thinking it was 77/78.

Rock crawlers replace them and toss the old one. I'd run a wanted ad on craigs list. If you end up with 2 good ones let me know I need one too. $50 ON EBAY $350 TO $500 NEW. Yikes.

Hello,

Being a K30, I'm assuming you have a 205? As posted above, 10/20/30 series will work, but the length will likely be different if it's not a 465/205 combo. I have one from an '80 K30, but shipping would be pricey from PA.

Hope this helps,

Joe
