CHEVROLET K20 REAR SUSPENSION REBUILD | Fixing the Ranch Truck!

[@robertl5168]

Love the truck. We have a 1984 K20 with 75k miles, 6.2 diesel that we use for our business. Great truck, not the fastest truck but it does the job with ease.

[@richardweinberger2756]

If you go to a truck spring shop they have all those pieces in stock. The leaves, the hangers, the clamps, etc. They can hook you up easy- whatever you want.

Anyone else? I feel like sparks are flying into my eye with the grinding. Nice vid!

[@JamesWilson-ox1kc]

Maybe the guy put heaps of springs in there because he was putting more than a tonne of weight on the back even modern trucks at least you down under the working class ones have more springs and the review say they write harsher than the other aspect soft ones meant for great nomads in caravans love those people full of knowledge but a ride like crap when they’re empty until you stick half to 3/4 of a designated load the back in theBack and then they beautiful

[@Burnside1905]

1/2, 3/4, 1 ton are nominal ratings only, they've stuck around because thats how much payload many trucks originally had (talking about before the 30s-40s). The truck in the video, a k20, would've actually had a payload of around 4k from the factory. A k10 probably around 2k, and a k30 5-6k depending on GVWR. These ratings are still pretty similar today, although current 1 tons have a payload of 7-8k generally

Very well done video. Always enjoy your work. Thank you.

Isn't it nice that the weathers cooling off a bit? NTexas was a humid hot mess this year.

[@milkcrate82]

YES! Finally! Although to be honest... this was a fairly mild summer. I bet we’re in for a cold winter and a few ice storms.🧊🧊

I’ve got the semi floating rearend under my k20 too I’ve been thinking about putting a dually rearend under but idk if my stump would work in the dually housing because mine is a 6 cylinder

[@posundeborg5598]

[@jasonmushersee]

I had a '79 K10 broken leaf springs both sides went to a salvage yard he gave me for free a pair from a K20 they bolted right on but like you said the ride was so ruff every bump felt like someone was pounding on my spine with a ball peen hammer

[@milkcrate82]

This truck had a hard life as a ranch truck in west Texas for a number of years. Almost solely driven by 18 year old, hired ranch hands pulling severely overloaded stock trailers with it. They added a bunch of suspension to a 3/4 ton truck when they really needed a 1 ton or heavier.🤔

[@chevylandt.v]

Nice work, don't you just hate it when you have to clean someone's mess.

[@TheFrameoff]

Good evening I have a question how thick was that plate you used to weld on the upper king pin. And how big was the hole you cut out of the plate thank you.

[@doughboy1966]

Awesome work. Do you have issues smoging your older trucks where you live?

[@milkcrate82]

In Texas, if the vehicle is 25 years old or older, no smog testing. $7 safety inspection only. Flash the lights, honk the horn... that’s about it.

[@doughboy1966]

milkcrate82 Had no idea of that as I live in N.E. Tx close to the Red River. That is awesome news finding out about the smog inspection.

[@gerardolopez5875]

How comfortable are d seats

[@curierfromxibalba1155]

depends on the person and how worn they are. I feel pretty comfy on my bench seat.

[@carmineriganti2333]

IF you did all that work to the springs why not clean and paint them?....... clean and paint as you go. make 'em look pretty lol

[@ralphgarcia6605]

Do you happen to have the product number for those isolators ?
