Here's my '74 K/20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MJN** · 08-26-2006, 02:25 PM

I finally got it running after 5 years of restoring it. It's stock except for the lift kit and tires. Just need mirrors for the doors and some small details to tie up and it'll be finished.

f.monroe · 08-26-2006, 02:34 PM

Thats Nice !! Are those 35x12.50x16.5's all the way around ? Also ,how much lift ? I also like the early hubcaps . I would love to have the truck . Have fun with it . Frank

Russell · 08-26-2006, 07:15 PM

Now if that isn't some inspiration to get mine done -- I don't know what is! Mine is identical, cept mine is an 80, and has 03 Chevy chrome steel wheels

Bowed · 08-27-2006, 01:06 AM

Nice . Got more pictures ?

.

**MJN** · 08-27-2006, 01:49 AM

They are 36x12.50x16.60 Military tires. 6 inch susupension lift, no body. Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate it.

I'll have more pictures up tomorrow.

6977chev · 08-27-2006, 06:21 AM

now that truck kicks a$$. i love it. what color of blue is that. it looks like my 77's blue.

**N2TRUX** · 08-27-2006, 10:56 AM

WOW! That is nice. It looks like your time was well spent. More pics please...

**MJN** · 08-27-2006, 01:01 PM

I'm not sure what color blue it is, I know it's Emron (sp) though, it's actually a metallic blue with just a gloss white.
Factory tach dash, factory AM/FM stereo, dual tanks, factory A/C.

It's got a 350 and a 4 speed with a NP203 behind that, it's a full time four wheel drive thats why there are no lockouts in front. It's also got something I thought was kinda cool, a factory Hurst transfer case shifter. Here is a picture of it when we first bought it in 1999. It was an old farm truck but the original owner ordered it with all the heavy duty suspension and drivetrain but no comfort options.

**MJN** · 08-27-2006, 01:06 PM

One more,

moneyeater · 08-27-2006, 01:29 PM

WOW,baad! I like it!

f.monroe · 08-27-2006, 01:58 PM

Man that truck has come a loooooooong way ! You saved that truck and I am sure you have a lot of pride when you drive it knowing what all you have done to it . Great job ! Frank

krue · 08-27-2006, 04:54 PM

That's a very sharp truck!

84 400 · 08-27-2006, 06:38 PM

very nicely done. from the before pic it looks like you put alot of hard work into that truck. good luck with it and agian very nicely done. i also really like the hurst t case shift. 350 4 speed that is all you need..... glad to see you did not convert to automatic.

very nice

**MJN** · 08-27-2006, 08:06 PM

thanks again guys. Yeah there was no way I was going to get rid of the four speed. It's still a pickup and it will haul and pull still, just have to be a little more careful, kinda like using a brand new truck.

Jonboy · 08-28-2006, 10:59 AM

Your truck turned out beautifully. I really like the color of blue, and the white really brings it out. Have fun with your brand new truck!

Eyegore · 08-28-2006, 11:03 AM

What everyone one else said but I espically like are the stock wheels & caps w/ the right size tire - keep it stock cause it looks awesome.
So what mirrors are you going to be putting on it?

**MJN** · 08-28-2006, 11:21 AM

I have a set of camper mirrors but would like to put a set of West Coast mirrors on it. I've seen a few lifted trucks with them for mirrors and I like the look.

bigblock73 · 08-28-2006, 12:07 PM

Wow and Wow...that is a beautiful truck...excellent job!!

I say run the west coast mirrors too, I like those too on trucks like yours.

84 400 · 08-30-2006, 08:54 PM

i have not seen them got a link?

**MJN** · 08-30-2006, 09:15 PM

I don't have any pictures of the mirrors on trucks like this but have seen them in person and like the way they make the truck look.
