The low buck 76 k20 build

[KansasTwister]

Buddy bought this truck running and driving for under a grand, has some worn out tires that saw alot of gravel roads. Passengers side inner fender looked to have been ripped out at one time. Decent amount of rust. But he wanted a winter beater that he could make a toy come springtime and this truck perfectly fit the bill. Has a 350 with edelcrap carb, 4 speed granny low with a 205 fixed yoke. 4.10 gears in the axles, runs drives and stops just fine, took it downtown and he learned he didnt have door keys though! Luckily didnt lock it up before I asked him!

Plans for this truck include:swapping out the fender so we can mount an inner fender, eventually find a better clip and doors for it.

Get a radio working in it with basic speakers.

Tune the carb or swap a quadrajet on it.

Swap the rotting 238/85/r16s for some new 285/75/r16s.

Swap battery tray for one that isnt made of wood.

And just make sure it runs and drives good enough for winter dutys.

Today we went crazy and put a spare fender I had laying around the yard on. Not the best but it will work for what we need it to. Didnt have the inner fender clips or bolts so we robbed them out of the spare mid 80s fender I had at the house. Would have got it done in 3 hours but he got called to go do a tow and it started raining so had to stop. Need to bolt inner fender in, alight the fender, then throw the hood back on and install a better battery tray.

Oh ya, the windshild visors, glove box, and some other parts are all coming out of either junk trucks we have or spares I had stored out in the garage. This is a true "low buck build" haha.

I think its getting to the point if you offered enough he would sell. But the last truck I had him price for someone was way to high.

You could probably get nicer elsewhere. He likes what he has and doesn't need the money lol. Id sell most of to be honest. That 55 should be the only one out front in the yard unless your talking about ones out back or in the garage.

Im not gonna lie some people stop by here thinking they are gonna buy a near rust free 68 chevelle for 500.

Somethings either super tweaked in the cab or super tweaked in that fender, but got it more or less lined up. That hood hinge is about to crack in half. Hes looking at an 87 k5 same color as mine, Im thinking its a better path to take rather than trying to fix this rusted thing up lol. That or just say screw it and drive it as is for the winter. But end result would be putting this drivetrain into something a little cleaner. He regrets buying it, I can tell. But well have fun with it anyways. He canceled the tires, no sense in new tires on something he may not keep.
