Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
I watched that video a couple days ago myself! He sure marches at the beat of his own drum, but I thought he's entertaining for sure. Funny to boot.

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
Pretty cool. I got to where he was looking under the hood. He didn't know about the upper radiator pipe. I didn't think 3.73 gears were available in GM Dana 60s. I wonder what's up there. I also wonder about the Custom door badge on passenger side. Cool truck

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
now that I can relate to.. ya'll from the country probably had a fella like this around..
ours was Harold, god rest his soul, he was this guy reincarnate! even watched the episode 27 a little bit, has more of the k20.. he's a character for sure.. btw, the D60 is available with 3.73 among about a dozen ratios from 3.31 to 7.17 depending on carrier.. and although he was reading that info off the SPID, the posi doesn't seem to be working in the one-legged burnout ![]() cheers!

He was entertaining but I would have tested 4 wheel drive before going in the mud. But I'll be dipped...

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
I bought my GMC 2500 from the original owner and it had a Dana 60 3.73 (open). I doubt that the guy bought the truck and then changed the rear. I realize it's not listed as an option so I don't know how he got this.

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
I saw that one weeks ago. I figured that he would ram that thing into a tree driving like that in mud with NO BRAKES!!! Curiously he never did!

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
really liking VGG on instagram now too
![]() and since we were discussing the factory options, I emailed Derek and asked him for the SPID.. well there it is, nice options! ![]() and if I'm reading it right, should be; C 2wd M V-6 gas 1 1/2 ton [but 8 lugs on the truck?] OD wideside S St. Louis A 1968 ![]() apologies for the large image size but otherwise difficult to read.. and I thought I had GMC around here somewhere but can only find my Chevrolet book.. GMC axles same or similar to Chevrolet or completely different? I don't know but here's what I have.. ![]()

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
Are you hard core Chevy guys really going to let him get away with having Ford dials on his front hubs?

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
GMC’s used Red a year or two around ‘70. They don’t have Ford on the dials.

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
I thought the Saddle pickup in the video was a K/2500 with a V8 350.
The SPID shown is for a C/1500 with a V6.

Re: Farm Find K20 Rescue After 16 Years
Seriously! The Red Green Show has been a staple for entertainment in my house for years. Between Red and his nephew Harold, it's a guaranteed laugh.
