Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Same color my 67 was. Wish mine was even close to as nice as yours.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Here's a couple pics i took today of my 72 k20. Started with a 72 k20 frame then found a 72 gmc 1500 and set the body on her. Still have a ways to go but I plan on painting it back to the red orange and white and adding a 2 1/2 inch lift!

Can you take a closer pic of the trans tunnel area for me? It would help me a lot in the fab work I am doing on mine.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I cant take to much credit for the fab work all i did was cut out that section and ad a high hump tunnel from a 4x4 cab. I have seen the high hump tunnels in the sites classifieds for no more than $40.

I have a square body K10 high hump and a square body K5 one too plus the floor section that went around them. The K10 part is pretty close to the length of the stock 67-72 part and the side flanges line up with the 67 floor but the back does not transition down so I will have to fabricate the rear transition area to fit.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Actually you dont need a high hump for a 4x4 with an automatic..the stock low hump works great. A 4 speed would need it though.

I'm only putting the high hump tunnel in there for the easy access and so the NP208 shifter has somewhere to go plus I have the tunnel parts out of the TC donor so why not. I think the NP208 shifter linkage may hit the trans or TC with a low hump. If I had an NP205 or 203 in there it would clear for sure with their different TC shifter design.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I did not know that, i cut the low hump out before i tried putting the cab on. I would have cut it out anyway just because i want the truck to look as factory as possible. Good to know though

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Nice looking truck, what color is it? I'am doing similar mods to my 71 GMC LWB. Make sure to include new pics with the swampers install.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
My 72 daily driver (even in the winter) with a complete 02 Dodge drivetrain under it. The 72 was a total (hard LF hit) out of Texas & the Dodge was a totaled roll over. Built it 7 years ago & it seems to work well.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
There are some very nice 67-72 4x4's here, thanks guy's. I just bought my old truck back I sold in 2004. I built it all new for my buddy one year ago and only has 300 miles on it. I just picked thru the whole truck and drove it is back on the road today, lovin it. Some spec's are LS5 454 with 525hp/ sm465 trans/205 t.case/one piece drive shaft/5" spring lift/35"SSR swamper radials/hooker headers/3" full flowmaster exhaust/lockers front and back/Full Autometer gauge set in factory dash/even a roll pan. Need 2 doors as were skinned (crappy job) and paint. Very fun with over 500hp.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I agree - do they make a Cummins valve cover? I did get rid of the ram on the steering wheel!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
It took 5 months to build- working evenings & saturdays. Had to cut 12.5 inches out of the frame to shorten the wheelbase. Thanks for the compliments.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Im not entirely sure on the lift im guessing 4-5" front and around 6" in the back. Wheels are 36x12.5 military oz. I have no idea on the backspacing all i know is they stick out pretty good. The sm465 came in the truck from factory. I did have to make a custom linkage and z bar to use it due to the massive primarys on the headers
