1972 K20 Steerring & Wiring Woes.
New Guy here,
Have a '72 K20 that is in pretty decent shape considering the environment I live in (MT), and I have two major issues.
1. There is like, 8-10 inches of play in the steering. I have other old rigs and understand that some slop is just going to be there, however, this is a little past acceptable IMO - I have read around and seen that steeringboxes are a common item in this generation of truck - I've also seen some take a box out of a '73+ and put it in. Is this a direct fit? Because I have a 2wd '80 carcass that I would not mind robbing.
2. Wiring. Oh man, wiring. I mean, I shouldnt be surprised, right? This was/is a farm truck, but goodness there is some half-assery going on in this truck for wiring. Mainly, someone put in a trailer plug (the old six pin type - correct for the age of the truck) and completely butchered all the wiring under the bed of the truck going to the tails. Where is a good vendor to go to for a replacement wiring harness? Anyone know rough cost?
Thanks guys,
-TF
