Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks for the shock suggestions - I went with a set of Rancho shocks but am reconsidering (may use these on the K10). Not much new aside from wet sanding. Decided to go with single stage Imron for the paint - should be posting orange pics here in ~3wks. Here's a couple more including the dusty rebuilt Spicers and a frame shot that shows the addition of a correct 4wd exhaust hanger on the opposite side of the frame for the dual exhaust.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Just subscribed to your thread. Very nice build! Are you going solid paint or orange/white? Your SPID looks very similar to my K20. Look forward to watching the progress.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Orange/White is a great color combo. A good friend of mine has an orange/white K20 he bought new. Are you going back to the original type white steel wheels? I have a set of black wheel vintiques going on in the next week or so.
I bought my truck from the original owner back in 05', sold it, then bought it back. The speed warning/air gauge was added recently. The warn "orange" hubs were dealer installed and on the purchase agreement. Quote:

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, looking good. Did you rechrome the spicer retainers and paint the dials or find a good original set?

Jud that's a really solid original set I was fortunate to find. The retainers did not suffer flaking chrome from being overtightened. If it would help, I can recommend a chrome shop that does good work at a very reasonable price. They did my bumpers. I'll get pics of the 700R4 for you this week when I drop off the battery tray and a manual throttle set up.

Haven't tracked down the lens yet - I assumed the LMC part was a straight-up swap for an original lens on a tilt column but maybe I'm mistaken. Will keep you posted on this and the details of the linkage. The motor isn't back from the machine shop yet so the drive train isn't yet installed. We'll attempt to use the OEM linkage but if that doesn't work I'll go with the set up supplied by BTO.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
The cab is now undercoated with some kevlar impregnated bed liner - the bed to follow. OEM bucket seat brackets are in place. Will have paint here soon!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pics for Jud of the BTO K-case level II 700r4 tranny - looks like bare finish no paint. Note the flex plate cover.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, are you sure? I think it looks painted. Here is my original 350 which has been lightly blasted to the bare magnesium/aluminum.
Is there something different about the flexplate cover, I am being dense today and cant figure it out

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Jud - I will look again or can call BTO to ask. Myself and the shop foreman both felt it was bare metal. For the dust cover I just wanted to point out that it is provided and is the correct aluminum cover for a 4wd application. I'll keep you updated as to the linkage arrangement we end up with.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
The hugger orange single stage Imron is on!!! Looks more red than orange under that light. Will get lots more pics once bed, doors, etc. are done. The dash top was painted a flat black as per OEM. White to follow.....

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks guys! Last week the cab was off the frame in a paint booth when the dash top was sprayed and after the undercoating was applied. I'm not sure if the cab was sprayed on the frame or not - I'd guess no but will ask when I grab picks at the end of the week.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Not to highjack, but how do you know what trucks came with a black dash? was it an options thing, or just certain colors? i know mine was never repainted and had a body color dash
