I have finally got my first truck. Its a 1972 chevy K20 it was a sbc 400 with a turbo 350.

I have loved these trucks since i was little my dad had a really nice 1972 chevy K20 4x4. I loved that truck it started my love for these old trucks sadly we lost this truck in a house fire. And I'm the little kid and the picture

Welcome to the site and congrats on your new K20!

First thing i did when i got the truck was order some new dual exhaust. I used a flowmaster 2.5 universal kit and bought some Flowmaster super 10s and bought some Hooker competition headers i built and welded the whole exhaust my self.

Then a few weeks ago me and my dad went to northern ca to get me a bed for my truck.

Yesterday i order Offroad designs dana 44 cross over steering. I am going with a 8 inch lift sky jacker lift kit and 37 14.50 r 16 maxxis creepy crawlers. I almost have enough money to buy the lift wheels and tires and I'm going with mickey thompson classic III 16x12 wheels. Sent off my knuckle to get machined and drilled and tapped for the crossover steering arm. Cant wait to get it lifted and drive to school gonna be the only kid at my school with a old truck!!!

Nice first truck. Even more impressive that you're in HS and wrenching on your own stuff.

Thank You!! My dad has taught me a lot. He's been working on these trucks for a while and i learned from working on his truck with him we just put a cummins in his 72 chevy 4x4 its pretty bad ass. And he taught me how to weld to not being cocky but i am a better welder than he is

Can't wait to see it lifted. Looks great right now as it is. Congrats!

I got some packages from ups today got my cross over steering kit and some new shocks and ball joints getting the leaf springs by the end off the week so will have pics of the front lift and cross over installed soon.

It costed me 520 dollars for the kit i had to get a 3inch block under the crossover steering arm because the steering drag link hit the leaf spring really don't like having that big block under the steering arm but off road design gave me some nice arp studs. Haven't drove it yet need to bleed the brakes and power steering then i will ill let u know when i drive it
