Nice Build!

Don’t make the mistake of placing the LH lower door trim on the RH door and vice versa - it can be done, I know this to be true

No doubt...scroll through this thread and you might even see that very mistake...eventually rectified of course

Also, the clips with the double sided tape that hold the lower trim on have a top and bottom.

Good to know. I’ve used the pre-71 metal clips on the k20 and blazer as the repro plastic clips seemed to stand off from the sheet metal revealing day light.

Hate to clutter this build thread but for interested minds here’s the effect of flip flopped trim (since corrected)...

Real sunshine for the first time in what seemed like forever. A lot of folks with cabin fever showed up at the first cruise in of the year at The Varsity. It was exciting to show her for the first time...and be outside and dry!

**rustytruck50** · 03-08-2020, 10:24 PM

That, sir, is a work of art!

**davischevy** · 03-08-2020, 10:31 PM

It sure is purty.

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun watching folks come up and read the window sticker. Factory buckets are consistently a source of surprise for those not in our circle.

...And congrats on Truck of the Month Larry! Well deserved.

Awesome Brad. Thanks for posting.

**1971Stepside** · 03-09-2020, 11:31 AM

I just love this truck...

**IronCanine** · 06-09-2020, 12:00 AM

Took her out for a spin the other day and snapped a few shots. Posted a couple in the 4x4 section...here are a few detail shots.

**IronCanine** · 06-09-2020, 12:07 AM

I finally got the A/C charged after a bit of an odyssey a couple of weeks ago. Took it initially several months ago, held a vacuum, but POA valve was stuck (had been rebuilt and plated). Removed POA, rebuilt again, re-plated again, re-installed and finally charged and blowing cold.

**IronCanine** · 06-09-2020, 12:12 AM

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-09-2020, 08:45 AM

Still looks brand new. Beautiful

Well...most of her engine run time has been with the gear shift on "P". And she gets wiped down more than a truck should. But you are always kind-thanks.

Hey, here's a fun game I'll call, "What's On The Ground?"

...in the fourth shot (wheel well) below, what's that thing on the ground? '71-'72 only guys are at a disadvantage.

**DeadheadNM** · 06-09-2020, 09:18 PM

On the ground? It’s an eyeball from the first guy that saw the k10 that day - popped right out in amazement.

You're crazy.

Edit: Here's a hint...it fell off the truck...for the second time. After the first time, I ordered two more just in case it became a thing. I'm glad I did.

Clutch rod firewall plug.

Bingo. They get warm after the engine runs ans gently fall out. 71 72 had screw on type. Glad to see you out with that truck. I would love to see it in person. Maby someday.

That's cheating. You've got inside knowledge. I should have been more clear about the rules.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-09-2020, 10:16 PM

I haven't a clue unless it's a driveshaft weight.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-09-2020, 10:21 PM

Ok, I'm used to being wrong.....another reason I don't gamble a lot. LOL

You should...it'd be great. Hope a ride on one of those geese. They come right by my house every year.

Dale...you're a winner in my book for having the courage to play. Eric will suffer the Karma of cheating. He's going to have to work on a Ranchero Squire for at least 3 months...is the consequence worse than the crime? Yes, of course it is. But he also made the mistake of being nice to a Ford person. And that rarely goes well.
