Great fab and beautiful welds.

The bed is set up with tools and recovery items. The Delta box is offset to the passenger side so I can still put my dirt bike in the bed and close the tailgate. I have my full size spare (I'm always looking for another Alcoa copy rim for the spare), my homemade winch anchor, two shovels mounted...

When I got the truck, it had a tired leaky 350 (1 piece rear main, center bolt valve covers, $89 headers that leaked like crazy), a decent shifting TH350 trans with an NP203 transfer case. I bought a 1/2 ton parts rig with a newer 350, a nicely built TH350 with an NP205 transfer case. The...

So I thought I would show some of the other upgrades I have done over the past 3 1/2 years. I wanted to get a winch, But I also wanted to have the ability to run it front or rear. I was also trying to do on the cheap. I got a Harbor Freight Badlands 9000 lb. I can't say enough good things about...

I like your truck. I was looking for a CUCV when I found my K20. Now I am having to source out all the cool stuff your truck came with (Detroit Locker, Dana 60, Hydro-assist). As far as your winch plans go, are you going to modify or swap the bumper? I took a rear receiver hitch and cut the...

I appreciate all of the compliments. I just finished my work week, so the driveshaft is going to Ritch at Driveline Service tomorrow. I can't wait test it out. A little more gear oil (ran out before it was full), some tabs and a new discovery pass are all on my list as well.

It's "clean" for it's age, but far from perfect. I just want a driver that is really capable. If anything, I may throw a crew cab on it and shorten up a bed. Get rid of the dual tanks and run a Suburban tank. Then I can build some sliders and a cage. I'd like some more passenger space.

So I maintained the 10 bolt front as needed. Wheel bearings to start, u-joints, then ball joints. A little bit here and there just to keep it rolling. But too much river wheeling and 37's just wouldn't allow it to hold up. I never wanted to put too much into it knowing I eventually was going to...

I wanted to share some of my upgrades and progress on my truck. It's a 1979 K20 Camper Special. It was pretty neglected when I bought it about 4 years ago. I have been slowly upgrading as time and money allow. I ditched the 4" rear Superlift springs and went for used ORD shackle flip and a set...
