Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

Here is where I am measuring from. If that measurement is on the $ then I am close.

Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

So the gas tank might be able to move slightly forward. The front body mount has room to go forward just enough. I got to lift off the body again to remove the stock 78 K20 Driver rear shock mount that is mounted to the top of my frame. It is in the way of a crossbar.

Fuel filler is on the opposite side too. Not sure what I am going to do about that. Might just hack up a 81-91 burb filler door setup.

You are about 4 inches to far forward.... with your core support

Re: Rusty 68 K20 Burb

So the neighbor was out of town and let me get a few more measurements. Looks like I am 5" off the mark, and my core support will have to come up too. This puts the front body mount in the way of the upper shackle. I might have to swap in the 52" springs and move the eye hole back sooner than later.
