Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Lol its like my truck, minus the sitting for 31 years and plus there was a salt spreader in it. Shes been a salting/plowing truck since she was new in 1972! Just about every piece of metel has been replaced on my truck except the shifters and axles hahaha! Been through 5 bumpers too!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Hey "75gmc454" what did big ten mean? Know they were shortbeds and in the mid 70's. I was looking at an old photo and my dad had a 1975?? shortbed with the big ten decals on the bed sides. I dont even remember this truck he had.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
I am sooooo jealous! I want one like this for my place in the country but all I ever find is 2wd.
Are you going to restore or mod or keep it just like it is? Congrats |

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
I'm glad I decided to stick with my Eaton and glad to know that brake parts aren't too hard to find. Recently I got a factory locker for the HO52 from another board member. I'll let you know how it drives when the build is done - in ~18 months
 Have fun!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Jud, that is a great truck to start out with! Most of them look more like a rusty wagon! That one just looks lightly weathered with a few dents here and there. Nice score!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Thanks for the input all, I guess it won't hurt to keep the split rims out back.
Here are some more pics. Do you see anything that is not original? The 97,000 on the odometer, do you think these brake drums and shocks are factory? Drums mount behind the hub. Hope the engine block is usable. Some water ran out of it while on the trailer

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
another engine shot. I see the hose clamps are not original.
Slipped slots on long enough to decide I prefer the stock wider 16" rims, like Joes Junk has. I want this thing to look stock. Now, what do you think of the slots on my '01? I think they'll fit.

Thanks for posting the detailed shots! It seems original engines are painted more of a reddish orange than orange.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Slots look good on both trucks. Once you get the wide stock rims on the other, you can swap back and forth as a mood suits you.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Jud, I agree, the slots look great on both! On the split rims, I'd just scrap them. It won't be too long before they're outlawed from the roads due to safety issues affiliated with them.

The slots look like crap on both trucks! To help you out with your project, you can sell them to me and I'll find a good home for them.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Lol on the slots! They are 16.5 x9.75, I wonder if I should buy a set of those BFG's they recently ran in this size and hoard them?
Title finally showed up from PO and I stopped by the DMV yesterday. They accepted it but it takes 14-16 weeks to fully process and be mailed to me in 2012. The gal had to think though and look for the right sections since the title is so old (1975) the format has changed since then. Feels good to have that in process but man Minnesota is slow.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Jud, MN titles are still behind from the shutdown earlier this summer. If you ask for a fast track, it costs a little more but get the title in a week or so.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Yeah,as Tim said,all grilles were identical 69-72. Only bumpers,mirrors,and hubcaps got paint vs bright work...then there's the window trim. I actually like these bodies with no trim best. Only the 67/68 moldings accent the actually body lines. The 69-72 detracts from them,IMO. Mostly the top trim. It interferes with the curve of the body line. The lower trim draws your eye to the straight line which minimizes the wheel arch flare as incorporated with that body line. You really appreciate the actual body design best on a truck with no trim.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
Thanks for clearing that up guys. This grille is probably original to the truck then. I checked the inner and it is crack free so thats nice. I think it might look a little odd to have brightwork grille and white bumpers, and rims. I'm going to have to think on that one. If you guys have some pics of this scheme I'd like to see them.
