My friend's 78 K20.... after rolling it.
« on: December 25, 2008, 10:54:44 pm »
Used to be a FUN ride.  78 K20, 355, Granny Gear 4 speed, 4.11 gears, sittin on 39s.  Went up Aetna Mtn in Tiftonia, TN, got OFF the mountain and started to get back on the main road, hit a mud puddle that was knee deep....first pic was when it was intact....the rest will follow.

Another shot after takin the fall...luckily no one was hurt, 2 of my friends were in it, and one landed on the other when it toppled, a cell phone got drowned, and my friends were both sore the next day, they had to climb out the driver side window, which warped the steering column and/or wheel.

Out free......  I'm gonna take more pics of the truck now, its at my friend's house on jackstands, he says the tailshaft broke on the transmission, and it leaked oil out into the creek it landed in.  The front end is bad bad bad, the sway bar is warped bad, tie-rod ends are a scramble, and i hate to know what else is damaged.

Well it looks like he has a good parts truck now. Body lifts suck. You can see how far the body shifted in those pics.

It just rolled onto its side, then when my friends climbed out it rocked onto part of the cab then rolled back down, he wants to fix it, but its not worth it IMO.  He'd need a whole new cab and everything.

If its not worth rebuilding salvage what you can and build another. Got to be enough worth saving.
