OK guys...what kind of lift do I have...need opinions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

superchevy · 04-30-2008, 12:57 AM

I bought this 72 K20 a couple of months ago as you see it from a local bodyshop a friend owns. No info available from the PO as far as what kind of lift it has. I'm new to 4x4's, and really just bought it to make a tow rig out of it as it has had a 454 swapped in it. What knd of rear is it? D60? Dana 44 frt?
Just would like some opinions on what I've got here and any problems anyone spots in any of the pics. The body's coming off next week and I'll be blasting/painting the frame and rebuilding the steering/brakes, etc.
Thanks, SC
(yes, I got all the parts not shown in pic with the truck, lol)

Thats a stocker.

superchevy · 04-30-2008, 02:20 AM

Stock, huh...that's good. I wasn't sure. Seemed like it sat kinda high, lol. Thanks for the help. Now to get busy and finish it up. SC

EDIT: NM, I saw the ball joints on the other side... it's a stock D44.

You Do Not Have Any Lift Maybe A Half Inch Block In The Front. There Is A New Poly Body Mount Kit. The Engine X-member Is Missing The Center. I Would Replace It. The Frame Will Roll In That Area.

nice truck there dude!

**special-K** · 04-30-2008, 05:23 AM

Get used to calling it a K2500,it`s a GMC...Coooool!

superchevy · 05-01-2008, 02:09 AM

Lol! K2500, got it.
I thought it had a lift on it...I'm so used to lowered trucks, I couldn't believe it was stock, lol.
Couldn't pass it up at $2000... should make a good tow rig.
