WOOOOOOWSER, very sweet truck.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

The suspension is stock and it's a bit tough to steer. We are trying to find the best way to go about installing power steering. Even if it's not original we feel that for safety that it's needed and will make driving a lot easier.


And we plan to find a stock radio to put in the opening for looks and wire a separate CD player under the seat.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

On the radio just put a non radio plate. The truck probably was not equipped with a radio being a civil service truck. I am just speculating. I still keep coming back and looking at the pic's. SO SWEET

Steering parts are not that hard to find. They are commond to a lot of models.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

Splendid!!! Bravo!!!! Nice!!!!!

Re: Our '68 K20
 

I found an NOS AM radio on Ebay for about $40, some go for $80 or that's a good idea about the "radio delete" plate.

Do you have the stock front closed knuckle axle? If you do some searches on here you will see the issues of the power steering. Takes a little mod to mount it to the frame since our frames are missing the "dimple" and "raised pads" but it can be done....

Re: Our '68 K20
 

That is BEAUTIFUL! You guys did a great job on it.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

I thought the '67's were the only frames not "dimpled" for power steering? Were the '68 4x4's also not dimpled...or were the frame rails different for manual steering trucks? Just curious.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

My frame isn't dimpled. I tryed fitting the 70 P/S box to the GMC yesterday, and it was just a disaster. 1 bolt hole lined up, there was about an inch of clearence between the steering arm and the leaf spring, the box hit the core support mount. So, today I'm putting my manual steering box back in.

Sorry for the hijack, thats a beautiful 68 Chevy. (I can't get over how pretty it is:lol:)

Re: Our '68 K20
 

Yes it is closed knuckle and where can I get a radio delete plate?

Re: Our '68 K20
 

go to the parts board, usually one for sale. You will have to paint it to match your truck color.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

beautiful truck!

i love the stance with the ire size, nice choice. io also love that you didn't touch the original motor, just paint. That thing would pull anything, especially with 4.56 gears.

simply unbelivable.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

For power steering you could put ram assist power steering on.That's what the 67-68s had anyway.That way you dont have to modify your frame.You dont even have to change steering boxes!And for those wondering..69 is when they started "dimpling" the frames,whether it had power steering or not.67-68s had no dimples in the frame whether it had ram assist power steering or manual steering.

Truck looks great!

Re: Our '68 K20
 

Where can I look for info for ram assist steering?

Re: Our '68 K20
 

There were a couple on the parts board in the last two or three weeks. List a WTB on the board and you will find the parts!:) I just looked at my 68 c20 2wd. it has a dimpled frame with standerd P.S.. You might want to check your frame before you buy a ram set up.

Re: Our '68 K20
 

parts board again... junkyard or Ebay

someone just had one for sale, but plan on spending a little $$$

Re: Our '68 K20
 

vey sharp truck, everything about it is flawless, betcha gonna have a big ole smile on while driving hat...

I take it this box will only work if my frame has a dimple?

*edit NVM that's not the gear box

Re: Our '68 K20
 

yes that is where you need to look at the frame. the mounting raised areas in the second photo where the frame meets the gear box. It be raised as the photo shows.:)Thanks for the fotos!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Our '68 K20
 

Hey Dustin, what is ram assist? Is that the shock like thing mounted horizontally on the front?
