Re: New to me 1972 K5

I havent updated much. I ordered the trans parts, cooler lines and fittings.

I was trying to figure out a York compressor mount for on board air, but I think that will be put on hold till the swap is complete.
I had to put off the front shock mounts till I get the D60 under the front of the truck.

I called a local radiator shop and the quoted me $85 to coat the inside of a steel gas tank. I figured I will just have my frined weld up a new, larger fuel tank that will accept the late model intank pump. I also may change from the OEM style connector to -6AN uniformity, as the rest of the fuel line connections wil be -AN. I found a 3/8" compression to -6AN male fitting.

I will probably also have all the hydroboost fitting changed to -6AN from Sweet Performance. I picked up a reman 2WD steering box from a guy parting out a truck. I hope to have -AN fittings on the seering box as well.
