I am digging this truck. Good work!

Thank you!

Any info on the wheels? I couldnt find them using the part number you gave.. Thanks

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Thanks for pointing this out, my bad, the correct number is 6059. As far as I know these wheels are discontinued though, at least in 8x6.5" and 17x9".
Mine have a back spacing of 4.62"/offset of -8mm.

I´ll probably change them out sometime this year though for something more sleeper looking! ;)

Sweet build!

Here is just a little teaser of the new rear mount aluminum tank.... ;)

This is the beginning of the relocation of the rear cross members to accept the new aluminum tank.

And without the bed on, this gives a nice view on the massive 08 Dodge 3500 rear brakes.

Very impressive wip and a great truck. Then I saw the Dana 60 and got very depressed, I can only dream of having such a brute. :waah: From the new transmission to the new gauges to the rims, I think this is the way most people would build a 4x4. I know I would. Keep up the great work and enjoy this beauty. Your avatar caught my attention btw and I thought that is one cool rig.

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Thank you! I appreciate all the kind words. I´ll do my best to keep track of all the work that I´ll do to it in the future and make sure to post pictures.

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Here is the tank installed. However I might have to move it back a little because of clearance issues with the Mag Hytech diff cover and the tank at full bump.

Does anyone know how to start a vote on a few options here? I´d like to do that but have no idea how...

Thanks!

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Ok guys, time for some poll action. I rendered some different light setups for my truck and would like to know what you guys think looks best.

I posted this question in another thread, but not to many people replied, so I hope it works better here...

current LED setup:

Reason for the change is, the LEDs are great flood lights but don´t give me enough distance, so I need some kind of HID to fill in the distance.

#1 (current LED setup plus 2x Hella Rallye 4000 Compact Xenon pencil beam)

#2 (current LED setup plus 2x Hella Rallye 4000 Xenon Euro Beam)

#3 (2x BD Squadron wide cornering + 2x Hella Rallye 4000 Xenon Euro beam)

#4 (2x BD Squadron wide cornering + 2x Hella Rallye 4000 Compact Xenon driving beam + 2x Hella Rallye 4000 Compact Xenon pencil beam)

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Well if were going off looks i vote #9 but i really don't know much about those lights, i know not very helpful. :lol:

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

No idea what ANY of them light do or mean... But i like 9 too !!!

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

I think 9 would be awesome. With an led light bar lol..

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Thanks for the vote!

Cornering light is a light that has a similar beam to a fog light, only shines a bit further. A euro or driving beam pattern is with quite a bit of distance but still has decent throw to the sides, normally the style most people use and a pencil beam light is a very very narrow concentrated beam of light, that shines very far down the road/trail, but with no side coverage at all (only useful with additional other lights)
Hope this helps a little. ;)

HAHA, with that many HID´s you don´t need the LED anymore. LED´s only make sense, if you use a pencil beam hid with it, to give it some distance. I don´t want to do tooo many lights either to make it look like a trophy truck. I´m kind of trying to make it look vintage or half way period correct, even thought it is LED and HID.

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

I am green w/ envy, what a sharp truck. I am of no help w/ the light question as IMHO, they are all a winning set up.

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Wow...awesome build....dream truck

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

Thank you, been a long time til it got to the point where it is today!

Thank you!

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
 

I think that is one good looking rig and I like #2. Good lighting but you still see the excellent Chevy front in all it's glory. But being on a dark lonely road you would probly be thinking, "I should'a went with #9"
