Re: Budget Build 1985 K20

I got the electric fuel pump off and mechanical one put on and it runs great. I don't know why the PO put the electric on? I also repaired a brake line and cleaned up some wiring.

Then i came across this beauty on craigslist same year 1985 K20 for $500.00. So i went to pick it up. This poor old girl actually drove on to the trailer and into my shop albeit leaking a lot of fluids. I thanked her for giving what she has left for my build!

It actually runs pretty good however i don't need an engine, but i will be using the Transmission, transfer case adapter, cross member, transmission shift linkage, tilt column, radiator, (which looks new!), brake pedal, TH400 kick down switch and possibly the ring and pinions if they are something higher than 4.11's. And i am sure i will find other parts to use.

The tilt column has a broken shift bowl and i am not looking forward to fixing it. It looks way more complicated than the 72 tilt column i restored and that was a PITA! Anyone have any advise or link to a good thread for me?

The disassembly will start this week end.
