Many k20 trucks have a baseplate yoke design that the ujoint goes into a baseplate which gets bolted to the flat yolk on the front diff

You can look at front spring mounts to see if there factory rivited or bolted on

Laatly check your vin whether its a c code or k code truck

As i suspected, a 71 2wd that was born that way.

As far as I know the best way to tell a later 305 from a 350 is to look behind driver side head on block. 5.7 or 5.0 in fairly large print.

Congrats! again

Correct, small ID pad. And plenty of vacuum lines like the late 70s-early 80s had.

Good eye. I am not sure why the auto was swapped out and the 3 speed added. The spid has a ton of paint on it and a knife wont even touch it. You can see the thick paint around the VIN i scraped off.

I pulled the truck out of an abandon homestead. I told the wife she could take the 2 old benches if she unloaded all the rocks and cement that was in the bed of the truck... She really wanted the benches...
