Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

More work done, traction bars, front coil overs/long arm/link and cross over steering added. Mocked up with 37s. Also talked to the guy I am planning on having do body and paint and am planning to go with this sleepy hollow color, what do you think?

Intercooler pipe work and drive lines installed. Ended up going with a ICT flat plenum cover, now I have clearance to the hood.

Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

Painted the rear suspension in place, pulled the front end, disassembled an painted it. Cold air intake on. After suspension have to use some baby tires to get the truck in and out of the shop, looks ridiculous but it works for now.

Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

Got the alternator and belt on. Found a compact master that fit. Checked for fitment with pedals. Picked up the bed and put it on the truck first time with all four wheels on. About to send off for body and paint. My opinion but I think she is looking good!

Off to body and paint. Won’t have any updates unless the guy lets me sneak some progress photos throughout. Maybe if the interior I ordered shows up I will post some photos of those pieces.

Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

Cool as heck build man! Wish I could do a 12 valve in my 64. Maybe some day haha Used to have a 98 dodge with a 12 valve and 5 speed. Loved that truck. Made an honest 300 horse and got over 20 mpg's. Sold it with over 300K on the odometer and she was a leaker but a good runner haha

Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

Awesome build and great work on it. Is that the ORD setup for the front suspension? I have used autoworld crossmembers on a couple swaps and I've found they really mounted them high and I've had to raise the body on them a little too.

I think the only things I'd change on your build is ditch the auto style brake pedal so you don't hit it when you clutch it, and I'd try to move the rear axle back to get the tire more centered in the wheel well. That's just a pet peeve of mine. It looks really nice though!

Thank you Dieselwrencher most of the suspension parts are from WFO. I have the smaller pedal pad for the brake whenever i get to reassemble. As it goes with these projects, never ending changes, I have decided to coil the back and will be able to center the rear while doing so. Sorry for the late response. Haven't really been paying attention since it has been at body and paint.

Re: 72 K20 2nd Gen Cummins Swap

Been a while thought I would share a little progress. Gentleman that has been working on the body went down for a few months (soccer and collar bone ouch!). Received some photos from them today. Making some progress and first look at some of the color on the truck.
