Hello everyone, my name is Brandon and I recently purchased this 1985 K20 from marketplace, walking into it I knew it needed quite a bit of work as it has been pieced together through the years. One advantage I do have, is knowing the previous owners and a lot the history.
Has a 350 TBI from an 89 K5, and a freshly rebuilt TH-400 (<10k miles) however someone really jacked up the wiring from the fuel pumps, so at this point I’m trying to decide if it’s worth fooling with or swap back to a carburetor. Cab corners and rockers have been done, but needs body work, a tailgate, and some direction of which I want to go as far as freshening it up or fully tearing down and redoing it.
I’ve been wanting a square body for many years, just never timed out right, and I’m not willing to give up my other money pits for someone who’s already fixed one of these up.
I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s posts and gathering ideas on how to move forward!
