Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Rick they do good work and treated the K30 like it was theirs the entire time they had it, I couldn't ask for better. I'll tell you though at this point I'm just jones'n to fire it off!
That’s a good question Scott, these mufflers sat on the shelf so long I’ve forgotten. I looked them up again this morning so here’s a couple of Flowmaster links http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/?p...42552&x=10&y=9 and a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=MEUdbL_UiD4 they’re a 50 Series Delta Flow. They sure are some big old trash cans! ![]() Here’s a little temp wiring for our fancy run stand, on off switch, temp, tach & oil pressure gauge.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Hey Brett looks good. I thought I would have to get a 80# gauge also. When cold it is pegged. After running a little bite mine is around 40 at idle. So I may not change it. Can you snap a picture of how you wired the tach? Mine is not working.
I am going to check out the videos soon. As I can't get them to play while out in the field.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Scott, currently at temp our oil pressure never falls below 50lbs+. In the pic above the tach is wired coil to HEI tach (w/green spade connector) and fused 12v from battery+ (w/red shielded spade connector) last is a ground from ground stud to battery- (w/green alligator clip not connected in the pic).
Thanks Mike, I'm stoked! We like the 50's as well and they sound great on the K30!

Re: 72 K30 Build
So with the K30 running it is time to give old blue a little face lift. We thought about going for the Large Car, Skull Crusher, Zombie Killer look but that's just a bit to flashy for us.

Re: 72 K30 Build

Re: 72 K30 Build
Ha! You read my mind flashed.
![]() Here’s some before (2014) and all done for now after shots. The story behind this is I wanted an antique/classic insurance policy (agreed value) to avoid being told the truck has no value if we had a bad day. My agent (Anpac Chrome) told me if we’d spruce the truck up a little bit take some pics it would make it easier to get a good valuation on the old girl. We’ve had classic insurance policies in the past and with the K30 getting closer all the time it was time to start moving in that direction again.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Here’s some painted bed shots flashed! Didn’t bother painting the deck because we use the truck to haul stuff all the time.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks you guys!
As soon as old blue was done taking the insurance close up’s we made another scrap run, yes (hey $50 is $50)! Ran across this old tailgate buried in with the scrap that Mrs. 7dee2 was saving. She wanted a bench made out of it and one guess what happened next?

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Rick that’s me alright, Mr. Skills!
![]() ![]() Decided I need to remove this pipe plug for a factory style temp sender. First attempt twisted my 1/2” to 3/8” impact adaptor immediately dang! Ha, 40+ years in that head and it’s not going without a fight. We could use the one in the intake but I'm thinking we'll need the second one for a fan temp sender.

Re: 72 K30 Build
How about carefully drill the center with a small bit to relieve some of the pressure?
