Hey guys, years ago I had a 84 k20 and absolutely loved the truck, few years later I figured out I was in over my head and had to let it go. Well yesterday, and I mean literally yesterday I found what I thought to be the identical truck so I picked it up for $1500.
Looking over it I have a few questions hopefully someone can help me out with.
Truck I just purchased is a 84 k20 single cab, long bed.
I was told it's a 350, which as far as I know it is. Haven't had time to check block numbers yet.
It has a 4 speed, granny low which I believe is the sm465.
208 t case
10 bolt front end
And guy swapped in a dana 70 rear.
Front and rear should have matching 4.10s, but haven't verified.
Truck is literally almost free of rust, and mean doors, floor board, and rockers are all perfect.
Guy before me also did a 3 inch block lift all the way around, and I believe everything else is stock.
Questions:
What would be an appropriate size lift, without causing issues with the t case slip yoke and having to lengthen drive shafts? I dread the idea of blocks in the front.
Easy way to verify it is a 350 and not a 400?
And I have a funny feeling it may be a camper edition...how can I verify this?
Any other advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
