Parting out my 74 K20...

[diesel4me]

I am parting out my 74 K20---Located in S.E. MA-- It has a 78 small block 400 from a suburban,runs,smokes some--should be rebuilt before re-using--has over 100,000 miles,never had a timing chain or any other work that I know of--will still roast the tires,has good power--625 CFM carter carb,all stock otherwise..I am pulling it out by the end of the month to sell at a swap meet if no one here is interested first--truck has to go soon! It also has:

14 bolt SF rear--4.10's,its quiet,but very rusty,rear diff cover rotted thru and weeping...

10 bolt dana 44 front,8 lug--low mileage ball joints,u-joints--but extremely rusty steering arm(have a spare to go with it)....

NP205 Transfer Case with TH350 adapter...works good,but I never used low range,its condition unknown...

TH350 tranny,no reverse--also have 2 spares that need work too,some parts missing..

Custom aluminum dash,SW speedo,Tach,gauges,radio equalizer/amp

Fisher 8' plow and frame,pump,controls....

Misc.interior parts,dash junk,windsheild cracked though--custom bucket seats homebrewed onto a bench seat frame...automatic steering colum,brake booster,master cyl,etc...

Will consider selling it whole,its too rusty to fix up though--not a project truck!--I might keep the doors,but they do have some rot holes--will part with them if nessasary...

Also have a frame from a 73 K10,bare,also its axles,1/2 ton 3.08's--rear axle is a 12 bolt posi--but housing is rusty,shock mounts/spring pads weak..also a 71 suburban front end 10 bolt 3.73 gears,side window glass..

I have many other misc stuff--a NP203 T-case,not sure of condition--the adapter for a TH350 for it,the shifter too...steering colum from the 73 K10 (automatic),dash cluster, rotted doors with good glass,panels rough from weather exposure...

Spring cleaning is here--20+ years of accumulation!!--truck will be scrapped in a week or two,so dont delay if you have any interest!!..some stuff I'll sell very cheap or free if you pick up!!--I much prefer to sell locally,not into shipping/packaging things,sorry--.Bob

do you have pics of the custom dash? price?

 

[diesel4me]

Have to mail you one!

I can take a snapshot!--but I have no digital camera,nor do I know how to post pictures on here!(I know,I'm a big help huh? )--the dash looks similar to a stock one,gauges in the same places,has an equalizer/amp thing (old Radio Shack one,not that great!)--where the cubby hole thing is on a stock dash above the radio..--

It has a Stewart Warner Speedometer,a Tachometer,(forget the brand name ,and a vacuum gauge,oil pressure,volts,and water temp--all are different brands,and the water temp sender is junk,need a new gauge/sender))I'd sell it for 50 bucks-(plus shipping!)-shipping it would not be impossible--I just dont want to have to be trying to ship a transfer case,engine,or other heavy stuff across the country!! I'm going to try to figure out how to scan a snapshot,asd see if I can learn to post it on here--I know its tough buying something if you dont even know what it looks like--worse than a blind date!

does it have the flat top knuckles? will you sell just those from the front axle? i have some 10 bolt knuckles if you want to trade or something.

Bob--I know you said you didn't want to ship anything, but do you have the brackets that attach the passenger side of the 205 case to the frame? Thanks Jeff

 

[akbound]

Still interested in the dash and gauges.....shipping to 78154?

 

[diesel4me]

update...

Truck coming apart slowly!(been working alone,with many delays! )...all stuff still available,but will be gone by months end!...bumping it too the top..

 

[diesel4me]

Truck is all apart!

All parts off truck!--the 400sbc motor,transfer case(NP205+ TH350 adapter) and drivshafts,all interior parts out--truck going to the crusher this week,last call!!.....

 

[FWP]

Got the steering wheel?

[diesel4me]

UPDATE....truck is gone!--some stuff left...

I got the truck to the crusher today,finally!--before scrap prices dropped any lower!(75 a ton now and falling fast).. R.I.P. old buddy..

Still have the 400 small block,should be rebuilt--was running until removed from truck...200/bo you pick up...

NP205 T-case,(build date 3-72),worked good--leaks a little out of rear output shaft...150 bucks with the TH350 adapter--local pick up preferred..

NP 203 T-case (original from the 74 K20)--I changed to the NP205 when I bought the K20--this case might need a chain or other work,not sure--I never drove the truck any further than from the previous owners house to mine(about 3 miles!)...I prefer the NP 205 for plowing,so I just pulled it right out--good for parts or making a doubler--40 bucks if you come and get it!

(I'd prefer not to get involved shipping heavy items--no time!!)....

Also a 73 K10 front axle with flattop knuckles,complete except for the locking hubs(have them too,but are off already)-3.08 gears--been sitting a long time..

And a partial front axle from a 71 K10 with 3.73 gears,flattop knuckles--one rotor and drive hub missing,locking hubs off already,but available....Theese are also going to the scrapyard in the next week--local pick up prefered,CHEAP IF YOU PICK UP!..HURRY!..

I still have the driveshafts,rear is rusty(fits longbed K20 that had a 14 bolt SF)-
HUGE 4 inch diameter!--best offer...

A front "shorty" shaft needed to install NP205 in place of a NP203--very sloppy splines,but I still plowed with it!--originally it was from a 1969 K10,the only year they used that short a shaft...best offer....

Also have a brand new front driveshaft,fits "old style" 4 bolt threaded cap U-joints,NOT the later style with the round "ring"at the transfer case end.--stock length for a 74 K20 with a NP203--but it might fit many others...best offer over 50 bucks takes it..

Still have the "custom" aluminum dash--has S/W speedo,AutoMeter tach,S/W gas gauge,misc other gauges like vacuum,oil pressure,volts---debatable whether its worth using as is--previous owner of truck invented this dash,and did a butcher job on some of the trucks dash bracing to get it in--and the wiring was a complete hack job...its useable,does not look bad,but you may not want to chop out the dash section like he did to install it...thats up to its next owner!--like to get 40 bucks,you pay shipping,--speedo,gauges and tach are worth it--(old school speedo with a "thread on" cable!)...gas gauge sender is wired for a dodge plastic tank I had in the truck--works with a GM sender,but reads full when empty,and vice versa! probably can change the resistor on it to work correctly with a GM sending unit...

THATS ALL FOLKS!---its all going away--
