Re: 72 k20

Thanks guys!

Ryan, I’m sure you know all about project creep. I was just going to sell this 14 bolt when I parted the K30 it came from. There was a guy who was all ready to come from Phoenix on a Saturday morning to pick it up. The Friday evening before I texted him and said I decided to not to sell it. I felt bad but something inside me kept feeling the urge to keep it. That something would be my inner parts hoarder. After all my K20 already has a 4:11 14 bolt in it... Then I got to thinking... and that’s where things always get time consuming and expensive! See I was able to justify keeping it because after all it’s a K30 axle so it bolts right in... and well, my current axle doesn’t have factory welded perches or shock mounts, and well, I’ve got a couple factory disk 14 bolts stashed in the corner that I’m probably never going to use... and well, you get the point...

It’s funny that damn K30 part-out was supposed to make me some cash, and it definitely has, but I’ve ended up keeping more than I sold. I couldn’t bring my self to part with the frame, the axles, or the 465/round 205. There’s easily 1500 there thats stashed away

I was hoping to start building my 350 this week but obviously that’s not going to happen. So instead, I sold the leftovers of the first 14 bolt disk brake donor axle this evening. I also moved the axles I’m working on around on the shop so I could bring the front 60 in and start going over it. Got the dually hubs pulled and listed on Craigslist. Need to find a set of single wheel hubs for it now, that’s gonna suck, they are hard to find anymore, forget new ones it’s crazy what the aftermarkets go for. I didn’t find any surprises everything looks really good.
