Hi guys,
This is my LAST CK restoration. I've done a few. Learned a lot as I go. 65 years old now, so moving slower. Figured I might as well go out with a bang so I am doing a 1975 Chevrolet K20 Custom Deluxe. She's a rust can, like all of them were in Canada, but I have new sheet metal for EVERYTHING from LMC. She was a hunting truck, so low miles and generally a good truck. Came factory with 350 4BBL, dual tanks, Sm465, NP205, and the 14 bolt full float diff. Nice drive train. The 350 that's in it now is actually pretty darn good. But, I want a little more giddy up and go than 140 Horse or whatever pathetic number it came with. So, it gets a BluePrint Engines 427 small block with a respectable 540 HP. She's almost down to the frame now. Going to do the POR 15 treatment on everything. Should be a scream to drive when done. Here is the first picture of it, and the 2nd picture is what I'm aiming towards roughly.
