A couple of pictures of the winch mount mocked up. I used all the existing holes in the frame. I just need to blast, paint and buy a winch.

That looks clean and very stout. I will be interested to see the final install.

Happy to hear you got back home safely, since the weather wasn’t really the best. |

Wiper motor, red head steering gear, jeep XJ steering shaft and hydro boost installed.
Engine wiring complete, brakes bled and most of the under dash wiring done. I also swapped out the ugly Blueprint valve covers for some stock GM covers. |

I also got my wheels blasted and powder coated. When I went to get the tires installed one of them was bent bad so off to the junkyard to find another. I guess I got a good looking spare now.

Edelbrock pro flo showed up and installed. I ended up poking a hole in the fire wall and mounting the eco under the dash.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Very nice build! Your truck is shaping up to be one of my favorites already.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Sweet build man. Great choice on the color. You don’t see it often. And you’re not too far from me! If you’re ever going to a car show around here it’d be great to meet up. I don’t have any truck buddies out here yet since moving from the northwest…

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Super clean build. Good call on swapping out the valve covers.

I got the vintage air firewall plate and bolts painted and installed. I didn’t want to take the time to protect everything in my shop from overspray and the weather was warm so I painted it outside on a windy day. I should have painted the whole damn truck outside with results like this.

So I ordered a champion 3 row aluminum radiator that was supposed to be a direct fit drop in. Well it doesn’t fit. Surprise surprise! The tank was too wide to accommodate the factory isolators and brackets. So I got some Prothane small block isolators and carved them out with a razor blade to fit the bottom mounts and that worked good. But the radiator is also about 3/4” shorter then the original. So I had some 3/8” thick aluminum flat stock laying around and I welded it to the top of the tanks to take up the gap so I could use the original rubber supports and brackets.
Don’t judge me on my aluminum welding. I don’t do it often and I really didn’t want to blow a hole in the tank! Another task crossed off the list. I will be firing this thing up soon. |
Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Looks ok to me, I've never welded aluminum before. Besides, you're the only one who will see them.
Coming along nicely! |
Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Man Josh, you have been busy....I like everything I'm seeing.
Once the warm weather sticks around maybe I will take a drive over to check it out. Marc |
