1980 "K20"
« on: March 17, 2017, 07:01:37 pm »
Hello all!

I just purchased a 1980 K20, but I'm going through it and it looks like it's a Frankentruck. The VIN says that it is a C20, but it has been converted to 4X4. Also, it said it was originally a 454, but the guy who sold it to me says that it is a 383 Stroker. Lastly, I noticed the bed has 73-76 parts on it, so I'm assuming it's a bed that came off of that year of another truck. Going to slowly convert it to how I want it, and this is my first restore. Wish me luck!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
