    Np 205 boot retainer

    Maybe I was wrong then. I always thought the 205 had that knob as well.

    Np 205 boot retainer

    hi all, I got a dumb question regarding the shift boot retainer on 78 K-20 Sm465/np 205. I know the shift knob had the stick figure with four tires, sorry that’s the best way I could put it. But was there anywhere that the shift pattern was printed? Like on the retainer like on a 203? I’m curious

    Going to the boneyard

    Yeah I do. I’m looking to do this as a project. Something I can put the kids around too. So I’d need the steering box, axles and the whole nine.

    Going to the boneyard

    Not just the frame, looking for another money pit, I mean project. I already knew about the area around the steering box. I’m going to check it out. Supposedly it’s pretty pitted but solid.

    Going to the boneyard

    hey all. Not sure if this thread belongs here or somewhere else, but here goes. A buddy was telling me about a 77 k20 at junkyard by me. I called out there. Im going to check it out. The question is what should I look for? I already know the sheet metal is bad. But they claim the frame is...

    10-bolt front end

    In response to the reaper. That’s actually what I was kind of thinking. But I guess I learned something new. And with that being said are all front axles from the k series like that?

    10-bolt front end

    hey all, I went to the boneyard today pretty much because I could. And they had 77 k20, with what looked like a10 bolt front axle. Anyway the question I have is. I know there are guys the would much rather the D44. But I’m trying to find out, and I know it’s dumb, I probably already know the...

    4.10 gears and 31 inch tires?!?!?

    Ok that works. I just wasn’t sure about what the smallblock could handle. If it ever does pull it, it’s a mostly 2 lane driving to camp so no highway. But my 1500 with 5.3 and 3.42 rear is the prime mover. Like I said it’s only if needed. Thanks again

    4.10 gears and 31 inch tires?!?!?

    hi guys I have a 78 K20 with a 14 bolt full floating rear, and 4.10 gears. Everything I’ve seen from GM back in the day was 4.10 was a standard gear ratio with 350 and 465/205. My question is this truck will be used to pull a 7200# camper only if I need it to. So I intend on keep the short...

    Frame rust

    Frame rust. Define cheap. I've been looking for a 500 piece of shit. Cheapest thing I've found and looked at was asking 1200. Problem is I don't care where you're at. Everybody thinks they have gold. Well hate to break it. But some of this ain't even bronze. But here you go what do yins think...

    3/4 ton axles

    I posted about about a rusty frame in another thread. It was a k20. The build I want to do is a k20. Anyway someone had mentioned using a k10 and doing an axle swap. I was planning on doing that already if I couldn't find a decent 3/4 ton. The question is, can I use newer axles and springs...

    Frame rust

    Yeah I've heard that. I've looked at southern prices though. Pretty steep. But I guess if you want something that bad

    Frame rust

    lol yeah that's where I'm at. It was pretty heavy scaled too. If it was not sold I'm sure i would've have had more of headache than anything

    Frame rust

    That WAS the plan however, I just called the guy. It's gone. So back to square one. Which works out because I figure if I had to worry about the condition of the frame it probably wasn't worth it

    The cab is shot. Bed is better than most. It's not immaculate but I can make it work

    Frame rust

    I suck at taking pictures. Hopefully I'll get back out Sunday and get some. Best description I can give. It looks like fried chicken skin. KFC extra crispy skin

    Frame rust

    I posted in another forum as well, I like everybody's input though. I went and looked at a 79 k20 yesterday. Although I'm pretty sure I answered my own question the frame looked like it had seen better days. The rust that was flaking off were bigger then little chips. Although it seemed...

    Hi

    Hey I'm Steve. I'm a paramedic and a conductor for a short line railroad here in Pittsburgh. I'm collecting parts for a 78 k20 build and I'm always looking for advice tips or whatever.
