well its a 1970 k20 with 6" ez ride spring lift and 35x14.50 swampers on 16x10 rims, has a 350 engine built mildly .30 over trw, 282 .440 cam, performer rpm intake with 650 dual feed holly and mallory unilite ignition, headers, etc. dana 44 front converted to disc. eaton rear converted to disc. corvette master cylinder and proportioning valve. 4:56 gears,205 tc. have dual shock kit for the front also but not on yet. ill post some more pics as progress comes along

on a side note its 83" to the top of the cab. just measured it and measured garage as low ceiling. garage is 87" so looks like it will fit but have to take out a few bulbs hanging down till get it in then put back up lol

got a ways to go tho. heres a pic of what that front end looked like 3 months ago.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-11-2004, 10:40 AM

Looking great! Lucky it still will fit in the garage, mine wouldn't fit after the initial 4" lift. Those Boggers look real good on there - can't wait to see the fenders back on.

Mudder · 10-11-2004, 12:19 PM

Looking real good. If I ever get over your way will have to look you up.

Pont · 10-11-2004, 06:37 PM

Looking REALLY good Budweis. I also love that style of "dual steering stabilizer" that your running. Wish I would have went that way on mine. I think your motivating me to change mine

Keep us posted.....

Budweis · 10-11-2004, 08:11 PM

thanks guys, yeah pont that steering stabilizer i got from suspension connection. i think they look better than the side by side ones. yukon it will prob be a while till get fenders on as gonna be shut down this winter as no heat in garage, actually garage was converted deck underneath and dont even have door but least it will keep snow from getting on it till spring. hopefully by next summer ill be able to drive it. since its gonna be stored all winter what do you guys think bout this. i got no oil in motor yet or differentials just the assembly lube used to put stuff together with. should i put oil in to decrease chance of stuff rusting or will it be ok till spring with no fluids in it? the cylinders i just sprayed down with wd-40 before assembly.

**JIMs70GMC** · 10-11-2004, 08:20 PM

Budweis, That looks great! it's coming along. I wish i had took my time. Now i'm going back and taking things off and re-doing some stuff.

67cst · 10-11-2004, 08:31 PM

did you pull the cab to get at the frame underneath or did you just clean up the front end etc and paint it?

Budweis · 10-12-2004, 01:31 AM

theres about a three foot section where the cab is i havent done yet but cab is coming off next spring to do braces and floorboards so gonna do it then.

GMC71k20 · 10-13-2004, 12:41 AM

how did you get discs on the eaton rear?
truck looks like its gonna rule. is it gonna be a show truck?

Budweis · 10-13-2004, 03:02 AM

i used the blackbirds trucks eaton kit , let me know if want link or talk to member drink2mny. heres a couple of pics of it and the rear half. its gonna be a driver but if it turns out nice enough may have in a few local shows who knows.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-17-2004, 10:15 AM

That is gonna be a pretty sweet ride when you get er done... Pont please don't buy more part's to sit in the garage....LOL

BurnoutNova · 10-19-2004, 01:54 AM

thats an awesome truck... you did an awesome job on the frame/engind comp.

i regret selling my 3/4 ton, it seemed like it was alot more complicated to lift it, with the rockwell t-case, and 2 piece driveshaft. it also had wierd 1" blocks that appeared to be stock? who knows. it would have been fun though.

this is motivating me to order a lift for 71... but its almost to late for this year, have to have it for the winter.
