Re: Help!!! Lost my direction on my K20!

It is on a mid to late 70s shortened 3/4 ton frame.. it has a Dana 44 hd front axle and gm 12 bolt rear. I understand what your saying with punting this project. But body the body work and mechanical stuff like rebuilding a drive train I can handle. I just didn't know where to start. I think I will go about it like this..1. Cut the rust out and weld in new patch panels, 2. Rebuild the drive train (I've got a good Th350 Trans and NP241 and spare NP208 Cases) 3. find an engine to go through and rebuild then finally paint and interior.. making it safe to drive ( not falling through the floor board) then being mechanically sound feels like the best route.. thank y'all for yalls thoughts.. I'll keep yall updated on how I'm moving along with it.. patch panels should be in tomorrow and I picked up some '69 rust free front fenders for 80 bucks.
