Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Thanks for the good words and good parts!

Thanks....I really wish that was anodized, it was painted to look like the anodized coating and the outcome isn't too bad.

Thanks......PM sent

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Thanks a lot guys I really appreciate the encouraging comments. Again, couldn't do this build without the help of the folks here.

More progress made. Pics show a member rebuilt speed warning manual throttle tach/vac 80lb oil gauge cluster and installed rebuild tilt and am/fm. Motor back with a stock build/balance. Had a NOS block heater installed that I got from a Canadian member. Jason, I made sure the block code wasn't decked off - thanks! The exhaust manifolds are powdercoated. Have the Qjet back from a rebuild at Sean Murphy induction. The NP205 and 700r4 are installed. The NP205 is painted in the correct-ish Chrysler red. An OEM Blazer skid plate will be added shortly.

Help me out - what needs attention to original specs?

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Bucket seats from members Paul and Jason Duncan rebuilt with US made foam and covers from member Truckseats....thanks fellas

Um, it's too nice! :mm:

:lol: Seriously, you're making it so nice. These trucks weren't this nice new. Keep at it, this will be a really cool truck with the rare NOS odd stuff you've found for it.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Pete has nice parts stashed all over. he collects 72 tow hooks like i collect dirty looks from my wife.

:lol:

Looks great Pete. i cant wait to see it out in the sunlight.

The shocks are the only thing that's apparent to me. You're doing a great job on the resto. Pete!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Pete, looks great. I wouldn't bother changing it but if you want it to look true stock, the timing tab should be the silver/gray plated color. Also, what is that oil fill tube on the rear driver side of engine?

Man, i need to get crackin on my K20, hope it turns out this nice!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Wow the truck looks amazing, keep it up!

Looks like a stock oil fill tube for a V8 withpower brakes to me! I have one on my 72.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Pete, i know for the sake of originality you should have the side mount on the NP205, but i would recomend ditching it. they put a lot of weird torque on the drivetrain. the twist has been known to crack adapters and transmission cases before.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Pete, in an earlier post you mentioned something about the grommet the for the tach wires. Do all cabs have the hole for the tach wire or did you have to drill it? I ask because I added a tach to my 72 as well.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Thanks again guys!

I'd really like to install a nice set of GM/Delco shocks but couldn't find the correct #'s so gave up. If I see a set for 4wd I'd grab 'em

LOL! Yeah I get it - that's why I'm keeping the K10 an ugly duckling so I'm not afraid to haul a bed full of junk

Thanks! - that's an example of the little things I want to do right (It's a sickness). I looked at pics of the survivor motor I got from Paul and Jason Duncan and the timing tab looked to orange but I'm not certain. That oil tube goes to the 700r4 tranny - good eye!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Good to know bud - I'll look into this down the road for sure especially if I ever build up the K10. BTW - I should have your parts out soon I've been buried in work.

Yep, the factory tach trucks had a 3/4" hole in the firewall - you can see the dimples next to the harness block on the driver side where the hole would go here's a borrowed member pic that shows the location:

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Some more parts bolted on that I thought I'd share...

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Nice progress!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Had the mileage set to zero and the oil pressure gauge converted for use with an electrical sending unit....no more oil line in the cab...keeps the OEM look though.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

It is looking great Pete, i cant wait to see it finished!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Man that thing is purdy, keep em coming!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Looking good!
