Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

today we got the door latch pocket tack welded on in the correct position and the weather stripping lip from the rear of the passenger side cut and re shaped to fit the front of the drivers side.

yeah its getting really close to being able to be welded, the latch mechanism will fit and work in the current state but to make it the same as the other side I need to sink the pocket into the post another 1/8th.

Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

got the rear cab tacked to the suburban, we made an 8 inch long inner support manel to tie the two together and even with a few welds seems very strong, the mock window pillar is also welded in until we use a full other pillar to weld into the door like the original, the two line up real well. mucking up the cab corner to make sure everything fits an then lock down the drivers side so we can make that door. also I buffed out the original Ochre door that will contribute to the fourth door to look at it in person. I was set on blue but I have always liked the yellow and I think that is the direction I will go, with the white top and no trim.

Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

got the drivers side cab corner on and looking good, the rocker is just screwed in place. the passengers side cab corner was welded on but the corner didn't fit right and tapered in on the bottom, after checking the contours of another cab we realized they both should be the same and the passenger side is not, most likely it was twisted while doing the drip rails. we just need to cut and form a bit until its close. also the drip rails line up perfectly on both sides.

The contour as compared to the drivers "correct" side.

Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

work on the project is on hold right now as we bought a theft recovery 2019 Duramax and had to put it back together. I was looking through the "Trucks in the Wild" Thread and came across a picture of the White C20 I bought from 2018, sitting in the same exact spot as when I picked it up, thought it was interesting

Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

I am hoping to start back up on this build here soon, the plan has changed, I put the 12 valve 5 speed into a ext cab short bed dodge, I sold that truck and made some money, I have now switched to a duramax chassis for my swap. I got a donor truck a month back, 2005 lly crew cab long bed.
