Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks a lot guys I really appreciate the encouraging comments. Again, couldn't do this build without the help of the folks here.
More progress made. Pics show a member rebuilt speed warning manual throttle tach/vac 80lb oil gauge cluster and installed rebuild tilt and am/fm. Motor back with a stock build/balance. Had a NOS block heater installed that I got from a Canadian member. Jason, I made sure the block code wasn't decked off - thanks! The exhaust manifolds are powdercoated. Have the Qjet back from a rebuild at Sean Murphy induction. The NP205 and 700r4 are installed. The NP205 is painted in the correct-ish Chrysler red. An OEM Blazer skid plate will be added shortly. Help me out - what needs attention to original specs?

The shocks are the only thing that's apparent to me. You're doing a great job on the resto. Pete!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, looks great. I wouldn't bother changing it but if you want it to look true stock, the timing tab should be the silver/gray plated color. Also, what is that oil fill tube on the rear driver side of engine?
Man, i need to get crackin on my K20, hope it turns out this nice!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, i know for the sake of originality you should have the side mount on the NP205, but i would recomend ditching it. they put a lot of weird torque on the drivetrain. the twist has been known to crack adapters and transmission cases before.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, in an earlier post you mentioned something about the grommet the for the tach wires. Do all cabs have the hole for the tach wire or did you have to drill it? I ask because I added a tach to my 72 as well.

Yep, the factory tach trucks had a 3/4" hole in the firewall - you can see the dimples next to the harness block on the driver side where the hole would go here's a borrowed member pic that shows the location:

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Had the mileage set to zero and the oil pressure gauge converted for use with an electrical sending unit....no more oil line in the cab...keeps the OEM look though.
