Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Awesome build! Amazing attention to details. Love this truck. I can't believe how fast you knocked this truck out.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Finally got a few pics outside the shop with ~25 miles on the truck. Still working out bugs: had to replace the windshield wash pump, the alternator amperage was too low to charge both batteries and keep the truck running, and there's some glitch in the fuel supply from the aux tank. Cruise control works as does the A/C though!
Can't say thanks enough to all y'all who kept up with the build, gave me advice, and helped out with parts. Now way could I have completed this project without the assistance of all of you. This truck and my K5 are to be loaded for transport to my new home in MT possibly as soon as next week. It would be my pleasure to buy you all free beer if you get out to Kalispell as a way of saying thanks! Fingers crossed the vehicles arrive in good shape. Dave - the seat covers came from boardmember truckseats, he can do highlander covers btw

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks a whole lot guys!! I won't be going anywhere. I'll do what I can to help out so that others can benefit from my mistakes. I'll post up some pics of the K20 in snow once settled in. Appreciate all the support. Pete

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Beautiful truck!
How did you mount the spare tire to the bed? |

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks! Welcome to the board. Check out the last pic in post #4 - look at the inner bed. There's a GM installed in-bed spare tire carrier, which was optional to the under bed spare carrier. I've got the spare in place for shipping but don't expect to do much driving with it mounted.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
The English language lacks words to describe how awesome that truck looks.
By the way, I was too lazy to read.... What's the R&P ratio in the axles? |

Thanks guys!! Waiting for a ship date for it to arrive in MT - hope it gets here before the snow sets in. The gear ratio should be 4:10, OEM gears for auto/AC from what I understand. A Detroit locker was added to the rear.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, it definitely looks perfect! If the transport company falls through, it would be an awesome drive to haul the K5 up to Montana from ABQ using this K20!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
I wish I did. Mine was installed by a PO a long time ago I suspect - It's a direct bolt in. This may not help but a guy had a 42 gallon tank for a 73+ truck listed on the ABQ CL a while back. If still available and you think it would fit I'm sure we can figure out a way to acquire it for you. Maybe Ryan can start a side business building 42 gallon tanks?!
