Well I'm starting to memorize my card number from using it so much. We're in the midst of harvest so I'm just saving up now. Hopefully I can get the wiring and fuel wrapped up in the next month. I just ordered the VHX's with the OBD can for speedo and tach and many more.

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

Very nice! You'll be happy with those!

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I better be! :lol:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

Just send those back and get their new cluster if you think the VHX don't cost enough. :lol:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

The VHX's are the only ones that will work with the OBD-II can. But I saw that. You have Dakota's in yours right?

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I want that HDX now that I have almost a year on my VHX setup. It is great, but I wish there was more that could be displayed on the dash at once, the HDX should cover that

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

Add a second display/clock. It isn't much, but should help. I got one for mine from a 40 Ford. I haven't decided where I'll put it at this time though. :lol:

It's just money?? :lol:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I tell myself that all the time :lol:

Quote of my build...:lol::mm:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

Yes I do. I could have purchased a running 70-72 K20 for what I have in my vhx set up. :mm:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I could probably have a brand new duramax after I'm done with my build... :mm: but so could a lot of people. I have a pretty good chunk of change in my VHX setup also

I'm scared my wife will find my receipts. If she ever does you'll know it will be my last post..lol!

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

:lol: good thing I'm only 17. Who needs college when you have a cool truck? :mm:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

We all just hope our wives sell our parts for what they're worth and not what we told them we bought them for :haha:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I teaching my wife what my parts are actually worth ,she goes to the swap meets with me . I price my parts to move and she knows how much to discount them and I go out buying more .

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

Have you priced a new Duramax lately? I doubt you've spent $60k yet. :mm::lol:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

67k OTD for a SWR CC 1 ton Denali HD.......I'm keeping the Ford for a little bit!

Truck looks good!

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

There was a little sarcasm in that, but I am halfway there! :mm:Swapped a couple of tires and wheels with my friend so he could fit his truck on the garage for paint. When I get more time I will put them both on the same side to see how they look. Sorry about the crappy picture.

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

As I'm waiting to get help on my wiring I'm just collecting parts. I'm hoping to get it started by thanksgiving but we will see how soon i will get help on it.

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

What kind of help are you needing? I know a fellow board member that does a lot of dmax swaps and he probably can get you in contact with someone, or may know what you need to do.

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I may need it later on but he is helping me do all of the wiring/electrical work. Thanks for the help. I would attempt to do the wiring but it would be my first one and I'm a newb. I also want it to look really nice, and I don't think mine would :lol: :waah:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

Nothing wrong with reaching out for help. Especially for wiring as those problems can drive you nuts!

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

what color are you painting this beast, , are you going with red and white or orange/ w, I see you referenced the orange and white blazer, those 2 colors do look pretty sharp:chevy::metal:

Re: 4x4 1971 K20 build
 

I'm going with white and viper red. It's about as red as it can get. It will be a while before I am able to paint it. Here is the paint scheme in another dmax truck, but mine will be more red than orange.
