Here we have a1982 K20 pickup that received a full frame off restoration approximately 1500 miles ago. During that process, numerous upgrades were completed with the ultimate goal of building a truck that can tow and haul, with daily driver reliability and comfort, while preserving the well-earned patina through years of honest use. This bronze and almond K20 now boasts a mildly built LS3 with a fully built 6L80 transmission and a brand-new NOS NP208 transfer case. To maintain drivability with the power upgrades, it also received a fully rebuilt suspension including axles, bearings and bushings, an upgraded 12:7-1 Borgeson steering box and Hydroboost brake set up. This also has a brand-new A/C system including, compressor, accumulator, condenser, lines, blower motor and controls. I have driven this truck on multiple 2+hour adventures and cruises well...80mph at 2100 on the highway. Overall, this is a very well-rounded truck that has been updated with today's power and safety, while maintaining the epic appeal of a weathered rust free southern California 4x4.
