Installed tailgate (original MIA for years) and received new set of wheels - new tires should be here any day now(Nobody has tires! Very frustrating & Shipping times are crazy too!).... allllmost ready to hit the road again after nearly three years of restoration.

eneg688 · 11-04-2021, 01:04 PM

Got the tailgate & wheel tubs on. BTW bed kit was marked dynacorn, except the tailgate,which is oer.gonna tidy up the wiring in the cab next

Great work guys, love the progress pics,
I wonder if WE can order directly from Dynacorn ??, a lot of my things have the Dynacorn logo on the box.

New Tires mounted and balanced yesterday afternoon -

Pretty sure I found what’s causing the miss in my 68 327 . Exhaust valve number 5 cylinder don’t look right rocker sits way to high at TDC . My guess is wiped cam lobe and or valve recessed into the head

Bad lobe or sunken seat, or a combination of both.

I like those rims, care to share what they are?

**Already Gone** · 11-05-2021, 05:26 PM

Had this done in prep for new engne going in next Spring. With 92,000 miles and never been opened still ran strong as broke tires loose on last run this morning.

You bet - they are the U.S. Mags Indy U101 Polished Wheels. I've always loved the classic, period correct look of the slotted mags and these are the only ones i could find for a 3/4 ton.
Same look as the K20's "older brother" too - my 66 Impala SS...

She's still rusty but the driver's side door has all new rubber and felt along with a wing glass rebuild. Now to get the passenger side done.

Also adjusted the door to get the gaps consistent and it open/closing like it should. That was probably the biggest pain.

**Already Gone** · 11-08-2021, 09:02 PM

In post # 2560 had engine removed from truck. Saturday got the engine to my home garage and on stand where she will stay. Then had truck towed to other garage for Winter storage

Rich72C10 · 11-08-2021, 09:21 PM

Put in a new light switch, now its not so touchy when I have the dash lights turned up all the way. Often when I turned on my cab light, the dash lights would go off and had to wiggle the knob a few times to get them back on.

I also replaced the upper chrome tailgate trim clap thingys, so the trim isn't loosey-goosey anymore!

1968 K20 · 11-10-2021, 11:24 AM

Able to get the hood on with some help last night. Still need to put on the trim and letters.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-10-2021, 03:22 PM

Looking very good!

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 11-11-2021, 08:28 AM

What a great looking truck, love the color combo, I've always been a fan of GMC trucks.

mr.mud1 · 11-11-2021, 09:14 AM

a beautiful truck,awesome job and color combination,very nice.

1968 K20 · 11-11-2021, 10:26 AM

Thank You All, cant wait till I can drive it.

Sending positive vibes your way!

Rich72C10 · 11-13-2021, 11:22 AM

Got a new air filter, while I wanted a K&N I was able to get this Spectre air filter from O'Riley's and insure it fit okay on my Qjet. Reviews are mixed and I could have gotten it a lot cheaper online but I don't mind being able to support my local O'Riley's store.

I also had an annoying mismatched back bumper bolt, it had a slightly different shape head and then it wasn't chrome and rusting. I ended up just getting a 4-pack of bumper chrome bolts. None of the ones I took off had lock washers. Now I don't have to look at that ugly rusty mismatched bolt! Nice and all shinny now :-)

I tell you what, the fun factor on driving my truck has increased immensely in the last few weeks. With the newly rebuilt carb, new Progression Ignition, moving the throttle cable's pivot point (on carburetor bracket), and my new filter I can just about take off sideways! It is very satisfying working on the truck and seeing, hearing, feeling positive results.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 11-13-2021, 07:41 PM

Well done Richard, glad you're happy with it, it looks great.

Slowly getting my 67 fixed up. A long neglected work truck is starting to look much better.
