1984 K20 chevy
427 bored .060 over, 11.0 to 1 compression, stock truck heads, edelbrock intake, rebuilt Q-jet, headers no cats to flowmaster super 44's dumped behind the cab.
10 bolt front, 14 bolt rear, both freshly rebuilt with 3.42 gears. SM465 Granny 4 speed trans with a centerforce dual friction clutch.
4 inch skyjacker softride lift, 16.5 old school mag wheels (idk what brand) on 36x12.50 Goodyear Wrangler RT 2 military tires.

Looks good, makes me miss my '83 Scotty. What I miss is how simple thoes trucks were, no frills, no cheap *** plastic junk, hard to break if you didn't drive like a jack ***.

Um are you sure its a 10 bolt front? Maybe a Dana 44? Not sure but being 1ton with a 14bolt rear you shouldn't have a 10, but I could be wrong, Not use to trucks that new lol

Just get a really big radiator!
One of the many projects that I want to do is get an early 80's truck like the one I had and drop one of the newer 5.3L vvt AFM motors in it and make it as efficient as possible. I don't know why, that just seemed like a cool idea to me.
