my '78 K20. was a K10, but it had a 14b FF rear and a D44 front with 8-lug outers installed. also had a 454/SM465/NP205...was a really fun truck...shouldn't have sold...

Any more spec's on the truck? Size lift? Tire size? etc..

awesome looking truck!

i have all the specs on it...actually. it started out as a 1978 Chevy K10 SWB with a 4-speed manual and a 350. the 350 went ****-up so it got a 454 big-block. it had an 8" lift and a 3" body lift for a total of 11" of lift. was running a 14-b FF rear under it and 8-lug outers on the front Dana 44. it got a '99 Dodge split bench seat with power drivers section. it had full factory gauges to include a WORKING tach. it had 3" dual exhaust running from LT headers...with Flowmaster 40-series mufflers. it was running 4.10 gears with an Auburn posi rear. it was a fun truck that i wish i still had but family came first...i will have a nicer truck when i'm done with my '83 Sierra

i'm confused about this...do you mean it's a 4x4 that's using a 2wd frame? i can tell it's got a 4x4 front axle and it looks like a 4x4 but what you said confuses me...

sorry for the confusions. the Cab is off a 2wd truck, so it has a low tranny tunnel. have to have the body lift to clear the transfer case. just a 2wd cab on a 4wd chassis.

d'oh! i'm sorry, i totally forgot the wheels/tires...i'm an idiot...it had 16.5" wheels and 38x10.50 (Pizza Cutters baby!) Super Swampers

[Bad75Chevy]

lol its alright man!

So then with 8" lift plus 3" body lift, I could fit 41"-44"s?

[daytonagp4]

just sold the green on and the frame is a 85 but i hope to have it back to brand new condition within 2 years. Both the green truck and the resto are on 40"s

pull the trans hump out of a 465 truck. plug the shifter hole, cut your floor, and bolt it in.

I have a 86 Chevy Silverado K10 lifted 4" on 33's. I just recently recently got my motor in. I built a 350 putting out 371 on the dyno. My next project is a frame off restoration. It's a different color of blue. It's really dark, but I love it. Keep the ol ones alive
