Re: 72 K30 Build
Ha it’s always something, if it ain’t one thing, it’s another!

Re: 72 K30 Build
What is it with these shifters? Looks like it was a pain to repair but came out much cleaner looking than my carpet repairs

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Rick, I was thinking of you while cutting the carpet and discovering the opening needed to be moved forward.
![]() Thanks Ryan, it really wasn’t too bad and after all the trouble to convert the truck, fighting the shifter when it’s all done just can’t happen! ![]() Tightened up the linkage (added bushings, wavy washer, etc.) and then some Blue Loctite seems to have done the trick for the pivot bolt backing out problem. 2nd pic is with the shifter all the way back in the 4Hi position.

Very nice! Someday I'll get back to that part of putting a shifter handle in again.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks you guys!
With factory seat’s and the tank relocated there is lots of room behind and under, really good spot for this stuff to go! Pretty well hidden and accessible if necessary. Already to install pic just prior to installing the driver’s seat.

Blue has still been carrying on just a bit, had to replace it’s Delco Gold (now discontinued) 42-month battery in the 39th month under the full replacement warranty due to sulfation (yes ![]() It’s also still having some fuel starvation troubles, thinking winter blend fuel on the hottest day of the year (96 degrees at that time) lots of heat soak (red lights, stop & starts) it just was too much to ask of the old truck. Installed a helper electrical fuel pump for the bad fuel/hot days scenario, if necessary it may become a primary fuel pump if we have anymore issues.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Tried resetting the combination/prop valve in the truck and that is not an easy task by yourself. Ha, after removing it found that I’d managed to push it all the way the other way from blocking the rear to blocking the front!

While waiting on brake parts to arrive had at the AC again, here’s our vacuum and then charged pressures with a 94-degree ambient temp.

Re: 72 K30 Build
You betcha, going to start hanging sheet metal next!
![]() Decided the first CPP replacement combination valve must have been bad (couldn’t have been my fault! ![]() Brake fluid did eat some frame paint off and I’m right back to really, really, poor flow to the rear brakes. Arrrgh! ![]() Pulled it back out and removed the prop valve off the new part. Arrrgh! ![]() ![]() Ha, after some paint touchup looks exactly like it did in the beginning before all of this! But now our brakes work great and the light on the dash is working correctly. Winning!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Ryan, yes it was but I know it's going to stop on a dime now!
![]() Flatbed update; Good news it’s here, bad news they totally disregarded the final revised signed CM drawing! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=956 We were going to wait for tool boxes until it got here for ease of installation and I'd get to pick the box's, that didn’t happen. The fuel fill is not on the right side as we had specified. It is far enough back that we can make it work, just need to rotate the fuel tank 180 degrees. Expected the tail panel to be treadplate but it came in smooth, I'm ok with that, still looks great. All in all, I think it’s going to be a pretty nice bed for our K30. ![]()
