Re: 72 k20 project
[QUOTE=ryanroo;7293173]
this is OEM paint. i wanted to leave one part of the truck just like it was. kind of cool for me since grandpas hands touched this who knows how many times. ![]() That's awesome. I like it. I did the same thing with my painted gas cap. OEM 505. Conversation piece, but of coarse your truck will be one hell of a conversation piece top to bottom! ![]()

Re: 72 k20 project
Thanks! its a kingpin Ford 60 and late model dodge rotor and caliper.
Thanks! Thank you, i appreciate the compliment! Thanks mister! Quote:

i liked the idea that people would look at it funny and think i just forgot or something. the passenger will have to look at it and then i have a fun story to tell. in between burnouts. anyhow. a thing or two has happened. more things are in here. i have more to go but the front harness is getting closer. ![]() i scored this DHD on CL this weekend. the slightly better one that i nabbed from Ryan is on its way shortly, so this is more of a teaser. but for the price it was to hard to pass up. spares are OK right? ![]() i ordered this, then cut it apart and made it suitable to my needs. the paint is still sticky, so mounted pics to come. its an additional 5 gallons of air storage so i can make a wet/dry system for the air dryer. ![]() these boxes showed up just today. ![]() ![]() bilstien 12" 7100s they are for the rear, but i will likely run the exact same on the front so i can mock with these two and order the others when the debit card cools down. |

Re: 72 k20 project
I know I saw it somewhere, but what did you do for an AC compressor?
Mine wants to sit halfway into the passenger side frame rail. |

some more additions this thing is back ![]() ![]() i will be getting the case to the powder coaters soon. i whittled this out the other day. its an air manifold to direct compressed air around the front of the truck. ![]() ![]() i didnt get pics of it mounted i guess, so more on that later i got these suckers bolted on ![]() ![]() they work out just right to not bottom out ever and they run out of stroke in such a way that the bags don't over extend. i also got this wedged in, the pics are lame, but its hard to get good pics under it.. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: 72 k20 project
sorry if I missed it but what air compressor did you go with? I would like to have onboard air someday.

Re: 72 k20 project
Truck looks good!! Was a little skeptical of the wheels but they look killer white! Truck has a good stance! You have to be getting anxious! Happy late b-day and anniversary!
