Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Should sound pretty good.
How are you going to run the exits?

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I got the tank mounted, built a bracket for the fuel filter and ran the fuel lines.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
What do you do when you have family over for the holidays? You put them to work of course. I got my brother, nephew and brother in law to help me put the bed and cab on.
Next up is to finish the exhaust.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Starting to look like a pickup! Extra hands is always nice to have for those jobs.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Haha thanks! I hope it is close in the spring but I have a few major components that are not going to be here for a while. I was told that the vintage air system wont be here until March and your guess is as good as mine on when I will see the Edelbrock Proflo fuel injection. The ship date has been pushed out three times already. And I still need to order the interior!

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I finished up the exhaust tonight. I had to change my plans for the exit pipes due to the hitch and springs being in the way but I think it turned out really well. I tried to keep the pipes as far to the outside as I could because I would like to add a late model under bed spare tire winch and carry a full size spare.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Looks great. I picked up a spare tire winch for mine but I haven’t got around to putting it in because my receiver hitch appears to be in the way of a spare tire. Yours looks like it has more clearance.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Been plugging away on getting some things done. I figured I would work from the back to the front.
So I got the tailgate, bumper and fuel door on. And I also got all the rear wiring complete including the 7 pin trailer plug.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I also finally sanded and buffed the top of the cab so I could get the cab lights on. I hooked the up to a battery to see how they looked.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I love the cab lights...Very slick. That shade of blue looks great next to the chrome.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Supply chain issues are really slowing my progress. Since I have some time I decided to build a behind the bumper winch mount. I really like the Engineered Vintage mount but since this is a budget build there was no way I was spending $450 on a couple pieces of angle. I have about $50.00 in angle and a couple nights of my time in the shop.
First I made a pattern and then cut the frame pieces out of some 6x3 1/2x3/8 angle. Then spent some time at my drill press drilling holes. The made the winch plate out of 1/2 material.
