Same color my 67 was. Wish mine was even close to as nice as yours.

Here's a couple pics i took today of my 72 k20. Started with a 72 k20 frame then found a 72 gmc 1500 and set the body on her. Still have a ways to go but I plan on painting it back to the red orange and white and adding a 2 1/2 inch lift!

Great start on building a cool truck.

Can you take a closer pic of the trans tunnel area for me? It would help me a lot in the fab work I am doing on mine.

I cant take to much credit for the fab work all i did was cut out that section and ad a high hump tunnel from a 4x4 cab. I have seen the high hump tunnels in the sites classifieds for no more than $40.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I looked locally for quite a while but couldn't find a 67-72 part so I am fitting a newer one to my 67. I would like to get as close to the 67-72 look as I can so a stock carpet set might fit or at least be close.

I have a square body K10 high hump and a square body K5 one too plus the floor section that went around them. The K10 part is pretty close to the length of the stock 67-72 part and the side flanges line up with the 67 floor but the back does not transition down so I will have to fabricate the rear transition area to fit.

Actually you dont need a high hump for a 4x4 with an automatic..the stock low hump works great. A 4 speed would need it though.

I agree. I just put a 4L60E and NP208 into my low hump 67 C10 and it cleared with at least an inch in all areas.

I'm only putting the high hump tunnel in there for the easy access and so the NP208 shifter has somewhere to go plus I have the tunnel parts out of the TC donor so why not. I think the NP208 shifter linkage may hit the trans or TC with a low hump. If I had an NP205 or 203 in there it would clear for sure with their different TC shifter design.

Cdshinne · 11-01-2010, 09:35 PM

I did not know that, i cut the low hump out before i tried putting the cab on. I would have cut it out anyway just because i want the truck to look as factory as possible. Good to know though

Nice looking truck, what color is it? I'am doing similar mods to my 71 GMC LWB. Make sure to include new pics with the swampers install.

6772owner · 11-02-2010, 09:25 AM

71blazerdetroit: Blazer is looking good! Awesome wheels btw!

**72 tigger** · 11-06-2010, 06:25 PM

My 72 daily driver (even in the winter) with a complete 02 Dodge drivetrain under it. The 72 was a total (hard LF hit) out of Texas & the Dodge was a totaled roll over. Built it 7 years ago & it seems to work well.

Thebeast72 · 12-09-2010, 02:06 PM

awesome ride!

Mikey72 · 12-18-2010, 08:32 PM

This is my 72 4x4, its a work in progress, mainly the interior.

mud.man.rj · 12-12-2011, 12:01 AM

There are some very nice 67-72 4x4's here, thanks guy's. I just bought my old truck back I sold in 2004. I built it all new for my buddy one year ago and only has 300 miles on it.

Some spec's are LS5 454 with 525hp/ sm465 trans/205 t.case/one piece drive shaft/5" spring lift/35"SSR swamper radials/hooker headers/3" full flowmaster exhaust/lockers front and back/Full Autometer gauge set in factory dash/even a roll pan. Need 2 doors as were skinned (crappy job) and paint. Very fun with over 500hp.

glimmertwin01 · 11-06-2010, 07:40 PM

wow thats some craftsmanship.... but you need a cummins valve cover... JK

**72 tigger** · 11-07-2010, 09:26 AM

I agree - do they make a Cummins valve cover? I did get rid of the ram on the steering wheel!

glimmertwin01 · 11-07-2010, 09:39 AM

great job makin everything fit in that truck..... thats a great use for a cummins...
how many hours did all of that take you? did the wheelbase match well?

**72 tigger** · 11-07-2010, 07:16 PM

It took 5 months to build- working evenings & saturdays. Had to cut 12.5 inches out of the frame to shorten the wheelbase. Thanks for the compliments.

Heres my 70 3/4 ton 454/sm465/np205

what lift/tire size/wheel backspacing? also as for using the sm465 was your truck equipped with that originally or did you adapt a 2wd version?

Thanks,
David

bfay17 · 11-11-2010, 01:36 AM

Im not entirely sure on the lift im guessing 4-5" front and around 6" in the back. Wheels are 36x12.5 military oz. I have no idea on the backspacing all i know is they stick out pretty good. The sm465 came in the truck from factory. I did have to make a custom linkage and z bar to use it due to the massive primarys on the headers
