Camper Special K20/ Lots Of Pictures

my 78 has a cat and everything emmisions related. its from ca though.

I Think its to rough to restore there is not a strieght body panel on it. it looks good in pics but the body is beat to hell
 
Really nice guy, i asked whats a good resturant to eat at, he recomended a place just out side of town. i got there ordered and the waitress said that he called and said he was paying for our meal.:eek1:
 
Well everyone here is the game plan i am going to call the DMV:eek: tomorrow see if i need cats, and go down to the local glass place and get an estimate. if i dont need cats that truck will be mine:deal:

dang.. 120 miles.. my 80 gmc wont even go that far.. 95 miles at max... damn my 80 gmc is def a gas hog!:(
 
thats not bad. in the winter when i was drivin the 80 gmc i worked 98 miles away.. i had to put 50 in the truck at home gas station. the when im ALMOST to work i had to put another 50 in for the way home.. but thats with the leaky fuel pump that i found while building the truck.. i didnt smell gas.. oh well, hope its better.. i doubt it..:rolleyes:
 
i am glad i dont have to drive my blazer over that way plus drive the truck back probaly would cost $250-$300:crazy:
 
my friend called me and say he has a chrome dimond plate tool box he would sell me for $125. not bad
 
I thought the camper specials also had power steering fluid cooler and maybe oil cooler. Better radiator also. And yeah, better brakes/suspension.

Yup, NP203.

Fuel tanks are 20gal per side.
