She sure isn't as fancy as lots of your newer diesels, etc... but I like the price of mine ALOT better!!! She is a 1980 C30 Dually 454/TH400/D70 Camper Special 10,000 lb gross. Supposed to be original miles at 80K.

I wish I could find that same truck but 4x4.

Yeah, I wasn't TOO concerned about 4x4... but I really wanted a crew cab. This was neigher, but the price was BEAUTIFUL so I grabbed it.
I also know where there is a 79 K30 Crew Cab 4x4 that has a little rust, no motor/tranny/case... but it is 1800 bucks as it sits (still has the 60 in the front)

Nice looking truck. 454's are sweet.
I like your your truck. Nothing in the world can be more dependable and easier to work on than an old square bodied Chevrolet truck. The two wheel drive will handle better than a 4X4.
Here is a picture of my old square bodied Chevrolet duallie.

... I think the thing that I dislike the MOST about this truck is the ugly 1980 grill / headlights...

If you do name her that dont put a decal with the name on the truck cause someone will cut part of the h off so it says "thunder lips" and you will look like a queer for a few days until you notice. Happened to a friend who is a hotshot driver...
