got home monday morning at 1 am.

What i want to know is will some of the parts from my 64 fit this truck. looking at some of the parts in the cab such as the instrument panel and heater ect. guess most of the dash.
I'm got a 250 with 4 speed tranny to drop in it as it doesn't have a motor just tranny and transfer case.

it is going to be a farm truck so i need to get it going before summer.
Will the bed from the 64 fit this one also? thanks mark

Heater and dash pieces are different. The 250 will need new motor mounts and MIGHT have some clearance issues at the radiator, but you won't know until you do it. That's a nice looking K-20. Keep those "20" badges safe. They don't repop those. I hope you find the headlight covers for that '62. It will definitely make it more unique with the correct grille treatment. You just don't see a lot of '62's. You don't see many K's. And you don't see many 20's. Good for you.
There was a pair of NOS fenders on eBay the other day for around 800 bucks for the pair. That's a good deal.

that raises more questions. does the chassis swope out from the 62 to 64 or vice versus? who every had it before me had a different motor in it and i think it was a v-8 with dual exhaust.

i may be talking with tony smith in kc to find out a few more things about it and the 64.

Congrats on the score. Let me know if I can help you. I have a few 4-5-6 Chevy 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4x4 trucks at my shop with factory running gear, so I have lots to look at and compare. Give me a shout, e-mail or come by the shop sometime.
