1981 Chevy K20

We are so proud!

Specs:: freshly and professionally rebuilt 350 (15K miles) with Holley carb (yuck), Hedman headers, true duals, turn downs before the rear axle. 10B, 8-lug front axle with warn premium manual hubs. 14BSF rear axle. Have a line on a 14BFF that I plan to swap in. They are both open with 4.10s. SM465 manual tranny, NP208 T-case. Plan to convert it to a fixed yoke. Pure truck on the inside: no a/c, no carpet, no power, no tilt, no nothing! Few rust spots here and there, but nothing major. Frame in good shape. 4" Skyjacker front springs, rear blocks (hello shackle flip), Procomp shocks. 36x13x16 Super Swamper TSLs with less than 3,000 miles on them. Came with DBLAZER's old K5 bumper (damn thing weighs nearly 400lbs!), extra rebuilt front driveshaft, extra 208 t-case, and various spare parts.

Mechanically sound, but will need a new clutch soon. Plan to sand down the rust spots and paint it Desert Storm camo. I think it will be a great first vehicle for our 16 y/o son. It will be a surprise when he gets back from his father's next month!
 
Brian, that looks like a great score!! /forums/images/icons/cool.gif Congrats! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
 
Take care of her. I put a lot of blood, sweat, and hours freezin' my @$$ off into that truck. Glad it went to a good owner. I did not want that truck to go to someone that wouldn't take care of it and use it for the intended purposes. Have fun w/ the new toy.
 
Where are those Cigars I have for just those times when a new baby arrives. Oh well, Congrates anyway....

Way to cool. Your son is going to have a grin from ear to ear /forums/images/icons/grin.gif ......

Awww...poor Jimmy /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

Are you buddy buddies with any partsmen in your area? If so, get all your parts thru them. If something messes up they can defect the parts.

I hope your block is rebuildable /forums/images/icons/frown.gif
