you have a regular truck farm growing over there! i picked the key up from a local tool truck guy. it was just hanging out on the shelf and i tweaked out and bought it. just for the size of the thing. then i got inside and realized that it was perfect for king pins. best impulse buy ever.

Re: 72 k20 project
I checked the PN on those studs. it is 641-3183.
parts truck is doing good. it needs some more love here and there. the tcase is leaking and as always, it looses oil. i need to spend a few minutes playing with the idle screws and it really could use some internal carb adjustments to compensate for altitude. i need to replace the front rotors. it still takes me to work everyday, so i cant complain. |

lol on the truck farm, they are multiplying on their own it seems! I did sell a 72 and 71 K20 this spring but really need to be banned from craigslist since there are too many good deals out there that are hard to pass up.

Re: 72 k20 project
Nice work getting the axle all done up Ryan. Those gussets turned out great too!

Re: 72 k20 project
The engine made it to Windsor Diesel. its actually pulled all the way apart now. the only thing left in the block are the cooling nozzles. there are some real paying customer jobs that my buddy had to take care of, so it hasn't been to the wash tank yet. we will see how the next week goes. i am supposed to rebuild the axle this coming week, so the engine may wait a bit.
![]() on that note, i did press new studs into the hubs. i have to order some new hardware from McMaster and a few other items that i want to replace on the axle as well. then it should be done eating money for a little bit. that will allow the engine rebuild to eat more... ![]() i also got a few pics from Angle Collision. i got a call to confirm the paint code and was told that it should be green by wednesday. ![]() ![]() |

Re: 72 k20 project
Looks great. What is the plan for the in-cab fuel tank fill hole??

Re: 72 k20 project
Thanks!
I am going to make a dummy. basically cut the neck from a tank and weld a cap on it so no one can pump my cab full of fuel. then it will just look like any other truck with an in cab tank. the rear fill will hopefully mimic the OEM style rear auxiliary tank that was available in 69 or 70. technically not a period correct location, but who the heck knows that? i don't mind the filler shave, but i think having a filler there helps add to the look of the truck. |

Re: 72 k20 project
Ryan, since you know how to rebuild D60 fronts, what all tools do you use? Is a set like this and a bunch of other stuff really needed? http://www.ebay.com/itm/231185666827...84.m1423.l2649

Re: 72 k20 project
that link goes to an error page.
for the most part, all you need is basic hand tools. a seal driver set is handy as well. i usually press in the races using the old race. somewhere i have set i ground down the OD so the dont stick. you also need the spindle nut socket for whatever set of nuts your axle has. if you find yourself pulling a variety of axles apart buying a spindle nut kit would be a good idea as they are considerably cheaper than buying the sockets individually. when you get to the R&P you need a dial indicator with a magnetic base and either a caliper or mic. and a torque wrench. a bigger one for the caps and a small sweeping arm style for checking pre load on the pinion. there are some other special tools that make the carrier bearings and pinion bearings easier to deal with. you can do it with a run of the mill bearing puller but the special tools make it easier. i dont have many of the special tools, but i have good friends! having a press for the bearing installation is pretty important as well.

Re: 72 k20 project
Wow. 11K that better have included a nice paint job and rust repair!
i just did some looking at shipping a car to AK. as it turns out i think purchasing a car up there is a better choice. it was only 2-3K from socal to Anchorage. i am excited to see green paint on the cab soon. i hope i hope |

Re: 72 k20 project
me too! i stopped by the body shop today and it has been sanded. i think he said he was going for another coat of primer and sand then paint. it looked good to me with all of the filler covered up. i dont really need the cab at home yet since i am going to slow, but i guess it is good for motivation.

Re: 72 k20 project
Last night a good friend of mine helped me set up my front gearset. this is something i've done only a few times. considering i want to run drive flanges and have the gearset spinning all the time, i chose to ask the help of someone who has 100s of rebuilds under his belt with no issues.
i got it back home and made it (mostly)black. paint skillz keep getting better ![]() you can see that i put in 3.54s and this axle had a lock right that has been replaced by differential gears. i chuckled at the fact that i was removing a locker and installing a higher gear. the complete opposite of most custom axle builds. haha ![]() the diff cover is being painted and i will install that after some dry time. i need install seals in the hubs and go to town reassembling |

Re: 72 k20 project
Coming along nicely. If you would have painted it pink those bare spots would have been easier to spot. I'm just saying. I noticed the pink rake on the wall.

Re: 72 k20 project
It also looks like plenty of insurance grease was used everywhere friction can occur... smart fella, that buddy of yours.

thanks mister. now its your turn! lets see some magic happen on that crew he certainly is. lubriplate 105, always have a tube around. in fact, i had to buy a new one recently for all the re-assembly going on. the axle will sit with no grease in it for a while, so the super dope job was a good thing. |

Re: 72 k20 project
Looking real good. What are you spraying on the axles for black paint? I tried some tremclad at first and had rust bleed in only a year sitting in the garage.
