Hi all.
New poster.
Have 1984 k20 that I am working on.
I bought a very similar one brand new as a young Lance corporal in the Marine Corps and am trying to regain some of my youth.
It has a crate 350, sm465, a/c!, no windows or door locks.
It’s pretty much just this side of a frame off situation and I need some help piecing together the cab braces, kick panels, body bushing (under floor pan) and floor pan.
Have all new parts from LMC.
The floors on both sides are rotten and cut out. No reference to judge by. I cut the rest out (both braces, bushing etc)
This stuff is just not adding up.
Number 1 is I can’t figure out if the floor pan is supposed to be level with the frame.
As of right now it is above it, in my mocked up scenario. Any help on that would be great!
Also, in what order do the, inner and outer rocker panels, the kick panel, the floor panel, and both cab braces/supports and the bushing go in?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I am working on this with my 81 year old father who incidentally sold me that first ‘84 as he was a salesman at our local Chevrolet dealership. If I recall correctly, I paid $12,500 for it. Miss the old days.
I have to learn how to post pictures, but I will. This is very important to me to get this done for my Dad. Not many years left.
Pictures will be posted by Thursday 9/1/22 ( I hope) with the wife’s help of course. I know they help and I’m quite eager to share my exploits and try to help anyone that I can assist as well.
