Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Thanks Richard.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get back out to the shop. Ordered a new deck for the house and ended up building that this past weekend. I hope I can get back out there this week.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Was able to work on the old girl this weekend and a few days last week, didn't get a ton done but I was able to fab up and figure a few things out for the front spring mounts.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Once I got the lower mount figured out, I was able to see how much I needed to notch the frame for the coil spring. Added a plate to the back side of the frame st stiffin' it up and then cut and added supports for the notch. Just need to make the top spring mount and removable upper shock mount. For the front coils I'm using '06 F250 front coil +2 lift springs, and F-150 +4 shocks. I'm making the coil/shock mounts, so they can be easily converted to coil over shocks in the future.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Thanks guys, I should have it sitting on wheels and tires by the end of the weekend, if all goes right the next few days.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
It was a productive weekend on the truck. Had a buddy come over and help me knock out the upper spring mounts. Still have to add a few gussets, upper shock mounts, and smooth over some welds. But for the first time since I got the frame on jack stands it is sitting on its own springs.

That high steer looks killer. I want to run that setup when I swap to my 60. Nice work

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Ruff Stuff is a great source for brackets, tabs, shackles, axle perches, etc. Good prices and good quality. Got my axle perches and ubolt plates for the rear axle from them. My brother has used their products on a few projects as well.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Same here actually, my 14 bolt perches and shock mounts came from ruff stuff. Really beefy parts.
There Dana 60 steering stuff looks top notch as well. Thanks for the link above.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Got out and put the last piece of the front suspension on this past weekend, got the trac bar put on. Still have to clean up some welds and add gussets to stuff. But for the first time in 4 years the old girl is sitting and rolling on all 4 again.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Thanks.
Got the other body panels on it to make room in the garage for my Dads truck coming over for a engine swap before it goes to paint. Its a 1965 C10 long bed. I was able to get a good look of what the old girl will look like once its completed.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Thanks guys.
Trying to sell my SM465 (this is NOT a for sale post) right now so I can pick up a 4L80. I decided to switch over to automatic. Also have my dads truck 1965 C10 in the shop, pulling the inline 6 and manual trans out of it. Putting a e85 350/th350 setup in it, old setup was having issues, its all getting replaced.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Well, I've had my dads truck in the shop the last few weeks doing a engine swap on it. Its a 1965 C10, we ended up taking the 250 and the 4 speed out of it. Swapped in a 350 bored .040 over with a th350 trans. Doing the final tune on it and sending it home in a couple of days. Once its tuned I'll post a video on youtube and attach a link here.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
That 350 should get him around a bit quicker than the old I6. Remember good times working with my dad.
