'85 K20 "Whitey"

[Bent77]

I was thinking it'd be a few weeks before I'd get the lift and tires on, but I'm going to bust ass this weekend and hopefully get it done. I'd like to have all that I want done "for now" to be finished sometime in June. I'm ready to drive the damn thing.

Yeah i hear ya. To bad it won't be ready for this weekend.
Coming along though

Yeah it looks like a blast. Soon enough I'll make it down there.

And so it begins....

What a joke for 4 u bolts.

Jesus. They're crooks. I avoid that place at all costs. Should've got some from O'Reillys.

 

[GWeakland620]

Woohoo for the truck on the lift! Boooo for the u-bolt prices...

My fault for not pricing them first. The parts rig was cheaper than the u bolts.

 

[78SWB]

Lol

Because of this block being a wedge design to pinion angle, would there be any issue with the the top plate being so close your the center pin on one side? It forces it's self that way.

Should be fine. Should have got some zero rated.

 

[Orange_roc]

It's just what I pulled off the parts rig. First timer here lifting one of these.

 

[80' 427]

You are doing fine.

 

[Orange_roc]

Back is done minus some brake line work.

 

[Orange_roc]

Hopefully how it sits tomorrow.

 

[80' 427]

Going 37s? What gears?

 

[Orange_roc]

Possibly going to need a longer drive shaft. I didn't measure what I started with, but that doesn't look right.

 

[Orange_roc]

315/75r16 bf's for now. 4.10.

 

[Bent77]

No love for the slicks?

 

[Orange_roc]

Those are for my nova. Wanted to be to track already this year, but it'll have to be later on now. Kids don't allow for much **** off time.
