On 2-23-04, me and my son and neighbor drove to Dean's house and picked up my 71 K20. It's come along way, was a 71 GMC and is a 71 Chevy now and soon to be a 70 Chevy(I like the parking lights in the grill).
The cab and bed came from a 70 C20.

now:

and then:

It was fun and my son enjoyed the trip.

Holly mumbo jumbo, I forgot that's what you started with. Congrats on the aniversary. I agree the 69/70 Chevy front end is a better choice. Of course I might be a wee bit prejudice.

........and the fenders came from my wifes truck.

Funny, I posted a pic of those about two years ago sitting in my dining room. They were a great conversation piece.

Jim, you did a ton of work to that truck in a very short amount of time, I'm really impressed!! I need to get going on the dually!

Randy, Let me know when you start and I'll come over and help! Bill, That truck was something. here it is with the new cab:

Got some 4" rear springs in the garage and a no-spin on the way. I also found a pto for, maybe a dump bed.

You have made a lot progress on that Truck in a year. Great Work Jim...Can't wait to see all your finishing touches!

Looking good!! I remember the truck when I was in middle school. It was a light blue with the chrome slots. I thought it was so cool. Didn't quite look as cool when I found it in a barn many years later. I believe it was originally ordered by the Cincinnat Gas & Electric company and I bought it from the 2nd owner. These trucks never die as Jim put the third body on this chassis. I think the previous owner told me this was the third engine. He had a 302 Z28 engine in if for awhile. I tried to buy the 302 which was still sitting in the barn also but he was a no go.

Wow, amazing pics. I'm a fan of the 71-72 grill...but to each his own. Keep up the strong work!

I like it also, but favor the 69-70 more.

Blue_71 · 02-24-2005, 05:23 PM

BLAZERMAN · 02-24-2005, 05:47 PM

I all ready have one, just need to put it on. The 71/72 might be for sell though, I don't have the lights for the bumper and it's not perfect.

That was the plan, then I bought the green bed and put it on. I sold the bed on the GMC and plan on putting the stepside on the GMC. Hopefully by the end of March.
