new to me pickup, turned out to be a PIA so its getting sold

[lak2004]

Picked up this 84 K20 last week. Right now it is pretty much all stock. It has 6.2/Th400/np241?, no lift, 17" dodge rims and 33" Cooper STS tires. Had some issues with the lift pump but I got it running again tonight! I am stoked, its my first diesel so I have a lot to learn!

Not sure what my plans are yet. Cant decide if I want to semi-restore it and keep it for a dd. Or lift it a little and use it for dd/weekend warrior? Either way I like the way it looks, but if I did lift it I would rock some 37" on H2 rims I think.

Not bad is that the one you traded for? So you going to wheel it like you stole it?

Not quite yet, but in time! Thats what the k5 will be for now! Now I can start ripping into that this summer!

Edit: yep Lawrence, thats the one!

So anyone know what the backspacing of those wheels are? Not quite sure where its rubbing yet but it does at full crank.

They'll be running on the firewall, or the front fender lip

 

[lak2004]

Thats what I figured. Oh well they are about done anyways. Just need to do a shackle flip in the rear and figure out if I want to just do 4" springs in the front or do 52's up front? Probably springs.

 

[Russell]

If you are driving it on the street, run a set of 4" lift springs up front! 52s are too flexy to handle well on pavement

 

[lak2004]

Yep thats what I am gonna do. Now I just need to put in a new alternator But I am just going to use the one I have in my K5 for now.

Only guys like us get excited to have a rusty clap-traption of a diesel pickup like that. My sister cannot fathom for the life of her why I want to keep my K-5

Nice ride!

 

[lak2004]

Yep when I told my girlfriend that I was trading my jetta for this she couldnt understand why i wanted to trade a perfectly good car for a pos truck haha. Guess I am just crazy, thank god I have this site to tell me I did good

 

[noJeepshere]

Yeah there's a 6.2 Blazer just south of town that has been for sale for at least 4 months, maybe I should go offer him a grand for it Just to have to commute in is all. Well not now that my commute is less than a mile away.
