Very nice, Are you planning to restore it or running it as is? You just do not see trucks like these still being used in NY.

Thanks, it seems to gather lots of interest locally, Lots of "truck guys" around here, most of them older guys who all say the same thing..."You just don't see those around here anymore".

I was hoping to use it some, and fix it up as I go, and as the $$$ flow goes.
Still want a shortbed 4x4 one day, but for now I will focus on the K20.

Good luck on your project, looks like your off to a great start

I have not done much on the project in the past few weeks but I did go out and picked up the rest of the truck parts that is or shall I say was the “chum bucket”. 95% of the parts are junk but I will be using a few items like the roof skin for the cab lights and the non A/C stuff. I was planning on using my trailer but the DMV threw me for a loop when I went to reregister it. For some reason if your trailer registration lapses for more than two years in NY you have to surrender the plate before you can reregister it. There is nothing like trying to stuff practically an entire truck in the bed of another truck. Believe it or not there is a motor, tranny case, leaf springs, front and rear bumpers, bench seat, steering column, complete bed with tailgate, cab, hood and a few other things on the back of my truck.

I scalped the red cab roof skin and cut out the section for the non A/C fire wall stuff.

I was able to get some work done today. My OEM-OCD came out when I was fitting the replacement driver side floor brace. The replacement brace does not have all the features the GM ones did. So I sectioned in part of original one that had the factory embossments. Luckily that section of the original one was not in too bad condition. Yes I know, no one would ever notice, but I would.

I spent a couple hours working on the cab today. Fit the driver side floor outer section. Its almost there.
