    83 K20 for sale.

    I know I'm going to. It will definitely hurt a bit to see it drive away. But ended up getting a new Colorado to take the daily driver role. If I had the space at the house I'd totally keep it and keep improving it.

    83 K20 for sale.

    @scrap--metal No worries at all. I was curious and actually decently surprised. I was right there with you, expecting upwards of $2k. The CL post is definitely long winded. But owning it for the last 6 years I've gotten to know the truck pretty thoroughly, I feel it doesn't have any secrets...

    83 K20 for sale.

    @scrap--metal I'm really not too sure. I was wondering myself so I just did an official inquiry with Nexusautotransport.com (first thing that came up with a google search) and from Independence Oregon, 97351 to Saint Paul MN 55111 (random zip code that I found for a ballpark quote). With it...

    83 K20 for sale.

    Grit dog said the same thing when he saw it for sale and messaged me about it. I'm going to do just that after this weekend. Figure throw another $20 or so at CL for sale adds over that way and see if I get anything back on it. My uncle over in Ohio echoed the same thoughts. Rust free older (or...

    83 K20 for sale.

    I've had a few people suggest ebay. I've never sold anything this big on there before so I'm not sure how that would work, but it might be where I go with it TBH. I've also thought about BAT. I've seen several go for decent money on there but I've also been told they are pretty picky about what...

    76 gmc maximum tire size

    It being a 4wd you do not want to mix and match tire sizes. Unless you plan on never using 4wd without blowing out your transfer case. A simple 2" lift (blocks in the rear and taller leafs in the front) should be able to clear 33s. If you went with HD front leaf springs in the front that would...

    83 K20 for sale.

    Exactly, plus the holiday season right around the corner. Right now people are also probably spending what money they do have on firearms since the elections turned out like they did. It'll sell sometime I am sure. I'm not in any rush and it isn't costing me anything significant (insurance and...

    83 K20 for sale.

    Alexis (Mrs. Dutch Rutter for those who don't know) posted it up for me, she said she put it on a lot of pages/groups, since I still refuse to get another Facebook account. I have not heard much from it on Facebook but its gotten quite a internet famous following now, last time I asked, it was...

    83 K20 for sale.

    Thank you, I've spent a lot of time and money into it since I've owned it. But really I feel that I've taken it as far as I want to go. Never could bring myself to cut it for a NV4500 or any other more involved swaps. A new coat of paint would take it really far.

    83 K20 for sale.

    I've been trying to sell my truck locally for a month or so now. Figured I should post it up here for a forum member to have a chance if they are interested. https://salem.craigslist.org/cto/7554446716.html Don't mind me being lazy with the CL link instead of typing/uploading pictures here.

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    If you are asking about mine. Engine wise, no LS swap just a decently warmed up 350.

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    Funny thing, I'm on the other side of it and people are still full of sh!t. My K20 has been up for sale for a bit now, and I have a FOR SALE sign in the windshield with it sitting in my driveway. Had a guy knock on my front door Sunday (the 14th) genuinely seemed interested, spent the better...

    @Frankenchevy I didn't even thing about that. Does make a lot of sense. I was thinking the latest electric vehicle deadlines and high fuel prices play a factor but those are the super obvious ones.

    Thanks @Shorty81was actually thinking of listing it on the Ohio CL. Yea, shipping would be an added expense for the buyer and a bit of a pita for me but doable. Being 99% rust free I figured someone in the rusty states would be interested.

    Listed my pickup for sale a few weeks back. Have only had two bites so far, both seemed not very interested and not really old vehicle people. Ie. Asked if it had a carb or EFI etc. I'll probably be listing it on CL in some other states (thanks for the idea @Grit dog ) too just to see if...

    Dexron II or III?

    I use DexIII in mine. No fluid related problems, I believe the trans builder guy told me he usually runs Dex VI in them which is compatible with DEXIII?

    Boxed Frame or not?

    I'll play devils advocate here. If you REALLY needed it. Coughing up the cash 15k+ for a custom, purpose built frame by people who know their sh!t sideways and backwards would be the way to go. https://scottshotrods.com/81-87-square-body-c10-truck-chassis/ That would give you the best option...

    TH350 to 700R4 Swap

    They do have them for 4x4 rigs. Apparently, they bolt onto the rear of the Transfer case instead of the rear of the trans. At least that's what they say here. https://www.gearvendors.com/4x4.html Seems similar to the idea of a gear splitter, but instead of low and lower its an overdrive unit.

    700r4 questions

    There was definitely a lot going on with that shop at the time. They ended up shutting down after several of their customers came forward with wrongdoings. Turns out, they actually we're leasing the business form the Original owner (who actually did good work) and while they were providing...

    Muffler recommendations

    Thanks all for the great info! I really wish I knew what the ones I have are. But I haven't been able to find any number of branding on them at all. Any ideas by a bad picture? Don't mind the kobbled together looking H pipe. I could get a sound clip of the pickup after work if OP would like to...

    Muffler recommendations

    Question, from a dummy who knows nothing about muffler magic, (let the flogging fly if its needed). I'll be going through this ordeal myself soon, so I'm keeping an eye on this thread. Does everyone just hate turbo style mufflers or they junk? I ask because I believe mine has a set of turbo...

    Is the 8.1 still a dead end swap?

    Thats is definitely one of the downfalls of the nv4500 behind a gasser. The diesels you don't feel it nearly as bad since they don't rev as high as the gas and they have all of that low end pull. But you are very correct, they are a big slow shifting truck transmission. Yep, from what I've read...

    Is the 8.1 still a dead end swap?

    If it were me, I'd stay with your current nv4500 and t-case setup then plug the 8.1l in front of it and use a standalone ECU. Mainly for the simplicity and using what I already had. But if you do want an automatic, I've read that in 91 gm used a np205 behind the 4l80e in the crew cabs (pretty...

    Is the 8.1 still a dead end swap?

    From everything I've read they are the same mounts and even exhaust patterns as a old school 454 BBC. One of the more internet known guys who's done this swap, put it in front of a nv4500 and really seemed to enjoy it. He did say there is not much aftermarket support for them but he was fine...
