Re: OCHRE 72 K20 Restoration
Well.... It's been slow.... Life. I have however been making progress. I'v been detailing the freshly built motor that came in the truck, re-finishing and/or plating original hardware from the donor truck motor, attempting to use the correct original hardware in the correct locations. I plated the air cleaner spacer as well.
The original carburetor from he donor was sent out to Bob Stone, (classic carb) and restored.
As future pictures will illustrate, several non original parts shown in these first engine pictures will be switched out with original or excellent reproduction parts as we progress. We will not be keeping the after-market exhaust manifolds, drive belts, or HEI distributor.
I'v been lucky to find most of the hard to find original parts that were missing from members of this community, such as the 72 4x4 dip stick, etc.
This truck will also have factory cruise control. The pictures illustrate some of the brackets and cables on the carburetor, etc. (thanks Roger Koop)
