Re: Need some help. 1971 K-20
Stocker that's the best news Ive heard all day!!! Got the call my Grandma fell and shattered her Hip in the middle of the night last night. So please tell me more about that. Does that mean I need to pay any different attention on the type fluid I pump into that thing.

Re: Need some help. 1971 K-20
Yes and I was surprised with the manual throttle myself. When I got in the truck I was like whats this guy. Ive had a 70 and 72 C series, and buddy of mine had a 70 GMC. Never seen one in these trucks.

Re: Need some help. 1971 K-20
Nope, it's a mechanical unit (no friction clutches) so no friction modifiers are required. Use your favorite gear oil.

Re: Need some help. 1971 K-20
Nice looking truck. It looks almost like my 72s twin. It used to be a fire truck in Hopewell VA. Even had the light bar on it when I brought it home. Mine was originally light blue but was repainted when the fire dept changed color schemes. We even have the same drivetrain, gears, and locker. I think you did pretty well. I would not waste the money on synthetic oil for the truck. Just go buy a 5 gallon bucket of gear oil and a hand pump and enjoy changing all the gear boxes and axles. There is no telling how much crap is inside the housings after 40 years.

Re: Need some help. 1971 K-20
I once read on this board that you could use a dear carcass as lubricant in the NP205 if you wanted to. I laughed out loud when I read that. I don't recall the poster.
Sweet truck!
