Re: 1984 K20 project
New tank , I raptor lined the bottom and used por 15 the top . I left the plastic guard off the tank which accumulates to much road debris and crap. The right side inner fender had rotten out under the battery tray . Battery must of been leaking so it rotted out the inner fender along with the rad support on that right side . I found a perfect rad support at the junk yard but mine was in such good shape except for that one area so I opted to make a patch instead and repair it .

Re: 1984 K20 project
Finished up the patch and while I was in there noticed my exhaust manifold was cracked . I knew I had an exhaust leak but first thought it was the donut gasket at down pipe connection . Anyways found a set of manifolds and replaced the one side . Put new brake hoses, rad and heater hoses as well . The mechanical part is pretty much done and ready for inspection . Have to bend up a new fuel line to the carb yet and replace my back reverse light harness and a few other wires at back of engine bay . Guy must of had a small fire when he had carb issues as a few wires are burnt up back there . i tried fitting the newer style tailgate band on the older incorrect tailgate but it didnt fit well so I found the correct tailgate. I'll color match the tailgate and get it on soon. Also found a nice factory step style bumper. I didnt care for the one that was on there and it was tweaked abit

Re: 1984 K20 project
So like most projects one thing leads to another and always seem to snowball lol. I found this nice dash pad on marketplace and grabbed it then I was like well I have to paint it then my door panels are so faded and will look like crap so I'll need to paint them and then headliner, window seals , vent window seals. Well the dash has holes in it for guys mounting crap to it so gotta weld up holes in dash and other holes in back of cab from mounting speakers etc. So stripped interior out and welded up holes and painted door jams and rockers since I was already doing the dash . A couple orders to USA1 and classic chev and I’m doing it all lol.. Got a patch from junkyard for stereo opening as i wanted a factory type deck as well

Re: 1984 K20 project
Used SEM shadow blue for paint on all the interior plastic . Color is a good match .
