Re: 72 Chevy K20 Wrecker restoration

Well we pulled the cab off the frame Saturday night. A good and overwhelming feeling but progress none the less. Next is to pull the drive terrain out and give the TH350 to grandpa to go though. He said he wanted to tinker with it. It has a 305 in it now but that is going away. In its place I plan to put a Vortec 350 with plans to make that plenty stout. Possibly 383 for torque but I am being honest with myself, this truck is never gonna be a hot rod speed demon. I just want it to run good, have some good torque and pulling power and a mild 383 that makes good vacuum and good low end power should be plenty of fun. But anyway that's long in the future. For now just wanna get the frame stripped down and media blasted then painted and back to a roller ready for new brake lines, rear wiring and anything else that's easier to do without a cab on. This winter's goals.

Thanks for following
