The K-20 lives!!!
 

For those that were following earlier in the year... here is an update. Had some setbacks along the way, but finally got to drive it around some. Still have a lot of things to work out, but gaining ground.
Special-k, your nuts worked good!

Enjoy the pics.

Will add a few more pics soon.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

damn Eric, that makes me wish i could get back on my 69 K20 suburban. looking good buddy.:metal:

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Thanks jerry, I appreciate it. Now go get yours out!

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

The first drive is the best! Looks good, and the wheels are perfect

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Geeze, that thing is a beast!

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

i wish i could work on mine, it's had a new motor in it for 4 years and never been fired up, all new 4 inch lift, rebuilt axles, etc. ---- back surgery, now i need at least one knee replaced and both shoulders are shot:waah: hell, if i was a horse they would shoot me:lol:

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Nice!!! That thing looks really good with those old mags on it. I've been watching this one as you've posted updates. Very nice work!

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Good to hear, but I already knew that. I have a son you know :lol:

Cool! Cool! Cool! That thing is awesome. Are the Sr West Coasts original to the 'Burb? They look right on there with the big tires. Funny how my preferences have changed. I've gone from just driving them because I liked them better than the current (that was '73) to collecting high option trucks as classics, nut and bolt frames offs, to having a preference for them just like this! Maybe it's all in line with how my standards with girlfriends has gone, lol. But, a little worn, not so shiny, and IN USE is what I dig now. I like my cotton faded, whiskers, and my shoes not so shiny too. That thing and my K2500 together (when it had slots) would have been quite a sight.

I have never had a 4wd 67-72 Suburban. I had a nice '71 Custom Deluxe C/10 BBC I bought to do a conversion on in the late '80s but never happened. I've had a '91 3/4t 4wd and now drive a '95. I've come to love the 'Burbs. Great trucks, I mean station wagon, er Panel truck with windows, Crew Cab shortbed w/cap, SUV? They are whatever you want to use them for. I unload the tools out of my work truck Suburban, load it with parts for the swap meets, empty it, and sleep in the back on an air mattress. Then it's my camper!

A friend has a '68 K/10 CST I think I could buy if I had the dough. I hope it keeps sitting till I do. I'd put put some 8-luggers under it if I got it. It is also white.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Looks good- very cool! How does it drive?

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

First drive in along time. Last time I drove it we stopped at your place when bruce bought it.

Yes it is, I love it.

Sorry to hear that, maybe I should come pick it up from you???

Thanks.

My tastes are more that way now also. I like this one because it can be used, sit outside, etc. Its no rustfree creampuff! Bruce added the mirrors when he owned it.

Thanks. It has the typical lifted truck "wander". Still need to check things out better yet.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Looks good. Any parts from the orange burb getting donated towards that beast.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Like the slots also

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Not much, a few little things is it so far.

Thanks, me too.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

New hood and cowl are on. Drove to a local show yesterday with my 71 for sale on the trailer, my wifes orange one next to me, and my nephews 71 next to that.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Very nice to have it mobile especially coming into white stuff season.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

She's parked for the winter now. Collecting some parts for it still. Baby steps...

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

I love it, now I want one.....

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Looking good Eric! I really like the slots. You have some nice drivers.

Ray

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

I didn't know I wanted one until I had one...

Thanks, hope to someday have something nice instead of drivers. But drivers are a lot of fun.

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Looks great!

What size are the tires and lift?

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Thanks, I am told the lift is 8" I believe and the tires are 37x16.5

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

That burn is looking great!

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Great looking Burban. Hope you don't lose it in all that snow. And to answer SpecialK's question as to what to call them. I call mine a UV," utility vehicle, nothing sporty here".

Re: The K-20 lives!!!
 

Thanks.

Sits up high enough I don't think I will loose it. Most of the big snows have been south of us so far.
