Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Man I love your truck.
After alot of going back and forth as to taking the lift out of my truck, seeing your truck has helped my decide that the lift stays, but the tires and rims are going to change. I have a set of 98 GM 8 bolts and I'm looking for a set of 255/85's to finish the look off. |
Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
cool truck, I have a bare 3/4 ton 4x4 frame that is just waiting for a build!
maybe one day. how are you liking the lift? |
Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Great build...make sure to put up some pics of your truck out in the local country side....looks awesome and a excellent informative thread to boot!!!!!

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Just read thru your build...really Great work....makes we wanna go out and find a square body truck again! I like the fact that you did a thorough job on your drum brakes instead of going to disc. Also on your front lockouts you can take those Spicer inserts out and replace them with the Ford inserts. GM actually used that exact same red color hub dial in 1970 on K-20 Suburbans.

Great looking truck. Nice job rebuilding all the axels and ball joints. Looks like a time consuming task.

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
I have read this thread countless times now and it's a great inspiration. I bought a 3/4 to salvage parts from but now that I see all the work you did here and how good it looks I'm thinking I should just save the truck instead. Keep up the great work.

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Hey guys, thank you so much for all the kind words. I've been pretty busy for the last 10 months or so (new baby was born), so I haven't done much else to the truck. However, I have been driving it and getting used to it. I have a lot of pics to post, and I will get to it eventually.

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Just read through the whole thread, and you are doing everything to the "T" of what i already had planned for my truck. I am deployed now so mine will have to wait, but i have the 4" lift and lots of others with more coming waiting for me when i get home, which wont be till october so living in alaska, the build probably wont begin till the following may, but we shall see. I too love the tall skinny look and am going for the same look. Love the detail you put into everything and the do it yourself mentality. Cant wait to see more of the build!

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
not to hijack your thread. but i've found that putting your studs in the freezer for 5mins makes it easier to install in your hubs,works for me everytime.

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Hey Mando, whats up? Hows the truck driving?

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
Your a life saver, my everyday drive is a 73 GMC Super Custom 3/4 ton truck. You helped me alot with this thread. I am having to replace the drum brakes in the rear. And wanted to see if anyone else was having problems on getting all the pieces together.

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread
I got a question for ya, I to drive a 73 GMC without Ac but here's the problem. I can't seem to figure out why my truck dies everytime I let it idle while its running then the next day my new battery is dead. I was told it was the Voltage Regulator. I also can't seem to get my breaks to work ether, I just put new break shoes on and new fluid, I also did bleed the breaks, but I am getting no pressure. Thought maybe you would have some Ideas?
