Re: Project 1966 K20 adventure rig
It has been about 8 months since the last update on this build. There are now 4200 miles on the clock and the drive train is performing well. Steering, braking and overall handling are good for this type of vehicle. But, respect must still be shown to curves in the road.
The electrical system, lights, and wipers are working flawlessly.
The winch got 150 ft of new 5/16 cable with new hook.
I had a new windshield and gasket installed. Much better fitment now.
Of course, nothing is perfect and there have been a few annoyances. I had to replace the radiator and fan clutch again. The Vintage Air system has a leak. It won't hold refrigerant for more than a week.
With all the rain we're getting, I've got water coming in from under the dash at each end next to the doors. I don't think it is coming from the windshield.
On the restoration side, I went through both doors with all new latches, relays, window regulators, door checks and window scrubbers and felts. They got new paint too.
I'll get pics up asap. Having trouble posting them right now.
