    Forward Cab Spacers

    Thanks @CalSgt, I jumped on Summit to check. The spacers I found came with rubber bushings. I already have poly bushings, and I hate to drop $50 a pop just for the spacer. Might have to make my own.

    Forward Cab Spacers

    Need a good set of forward cab spacers for my 73 K20. Thought I would lob a query out here prior to making my own.

    Forward Cab Mount Spacer Length

    Thanks for the input @Grit dog. I already dropped $100 on the poly bushings, so I am going to run with them. Hopefully, they are not real squeakers.

    Forward Cab Mount Spacer Length

    I am replacing the cab mount bushings on my 73 K20. The forward spacers were pretty rusted, and I hoped they would hold up to torquing down on the new poly bushings, but they did not. I am going to make some new ones, but I am wondering what the proper length should be. Both my front ones are...

    1973 Rear Cab Mount Removal

    Removed the lower bushing last night. The metal tube on the spacer was compressed. I thought that might be the issue as rust had consumed most of the metal. Spacers for back of cab were solid, but these front ones not so much.

    1973 Rear Cab Mount Removal

    I got all the mounts for the cab in. The documentation for the Energy Suspension noted to torque to 85 pounds. The four bolts didn't tighten consistently. For the two rear mounts and one front mount, the polyurethane cone bushing that sits below the frame didn't compress too much by the time I...

    1973 Rear Cab Mount Removal

    Thanks @PrairieDrifter for responding. What you wrote makes sense. I’ll loosen the front bolts as well as the other rear cab bolt and lift the cab side to side rather than back to front to get those rear sleeves out. As I still have the front clip and bed on, I can realign to those before...

    1973 Rear Cab Mount Removal

    I'm replacing the cab mounts on my 1973 K20 and have finished up the front cab mounts. I pulled the bolt on one of the rear mounts and saw that I will need to lift the corner by about 3" to remove the metal sleeve. I had read to replace only one corner at a time to not shift the alignment. But...

    Replacement doors?

    I just picked up a couple of donor doors. Each door has a few dings but metal is in great shape. Given your location, I'll bet you can find some good donor doors locally.

    K20 Wheel/Tire Confirmation

    @ghbubba, I believe these wheels have -12MM offset. Backspace is 4" on these 16x8's. I have had the truck off road a few times and haven't noticed any rubbing. Certainly no rubbing while running around town. Bummed that I worked through my Dad's estate over the summer and never ran across any...

    K20 Wheel/Tire Confirmation

    @Shorty81, Thanks! I love the look too. I agree, looks as it should! @AuroraGirl, yes, the wheels are powder coated. They come only in black. I agree some OEM caps would look great. We are still sorting through my Dad's estate. I am hoping I stumble across the original caps when we sort through...
