1977 Chevy K20 - Root beer brown

350, sm465, np205, D44/14bff

Motor Upgrades:
-Edelbrock aluminum heads
-Edelbrock intake
-Edelbrock carb
-Performer Plus cam
-Headman Headers
-etc

I also was given a carb spacer to put on it.

Truck also has a winch from bumper, gov-lock, receiver hitch, fairly new bench seat and carpet, CB, subs, etc.

Truck appears to have a small lift. Approx 2", although I'm not quite sure.

285/75/16 street tires, and some aftermarket rims (not sure of the brand, I'll check tomorrow)

I'll try and snap some pics tomorrow as well.

Sorry for the lack of pics. I got super busy today, and didn't have a chance to snap any. I'll try to snap some in the morning, and post them ASAP. no promises though.

I joined up on this site for the completely AWESOME k-series tech you guys have. I figured this would be the best place to be when it comes time to start askin' questions.

I guess I could post up my future plans...

diy4x shackle flip with 56s in the rear
52s up front with the B-52 kit
diy4x poly motor mounts
steering box braces, weld-on and bolt-on
attempt to fix my SUPER sloppy sm465 shifter
And a JVC head-unit

Not to sure on rims/tires yet... I figure I'll get to that, when I get to that.
 
how the truck looked when I got it.

Got a tubular grill, because I had to break my grill one day, because the hood cable popped out of place.

Got a new non-rusted hood and put on it for cheap. Picked up some cheap white wagon wheels in the 16.5x8.25 version. Also got a set of 37" military tires from Obijuan to put on it. Had to trim up the front fenders a bit so they wouldn't rub. No pics of that though.

Got some Edelbrock tall aluminum valve covers, and a matching air cleaner. Also cleaned up the engine compartment a bit after changing the intake gasket today.

Got some black stuff on the firewall. Looks like spray-bomb undercoating. Gonna try to scrape it off a bit, without messing up the paint. I don't like the way it looks.

Should be pickin' up my dana 60 from Obijuan next week!

That piece of trim is long gone. Best as I can tell, the door was repaired by a ****ty shop at one point, and when i pulled the trim off, I pulled a good bit of body filler off too. Also, that door is a slightly different color than the rest of the truck.

It doesn't work though. :doah: Cruisin' at 65mph, its waaaay off the gauge. Goes all the way around, to pretty much straight down. lol

Washington truck, relocated to Texas in '05. Purchased by me, a few years later. Truck has some rust, because of this. :doah: But its mostly fenders and doors. only one small spot on the cab.
 
Ahhh...if it has carpet or anything you'd be best to remove it and have a very good look at your floors then. PNW trucks might not get hammered by salt so much, but they don't ever get a chance to dry out either.
