Just a fun truck. Daily it for the most part and hit the trails on the weekends.
Hey everyone.
Got another build going. I was waiting until I was mostly done with this one before I started a build thread on it. I'm notorious for picking up trucks and messing around with them for a little while then getting rid of them.

I picked up a '79 K20 on July 4th. Saw it pop up for $700 on Facebook Marketplace. I left with the truck for $540 and drove it home from Aurora, CO to Colorado Springs, CO without issue.
It has a 350/SM465/NP205, D44/14BFF.
I've put at least 500 miles on it in the past month and the only issue I've had is a little coolant leak from what I think is the lower rad hose, looks like it's too big and the 465 has a nice little leak.
Here are a few pics from the ad that was posted.

Here's how she currently sits. I've only got a few small things left before it's ready to drive.
I've got a boatload of pics... I think I've taken close to 700 throughout the course of the past two weeks since i started putting everything together.
I don't think any of what I've done is new to anyone but I will upload some of the build pics.

Might be basic up grades but still helps some of us a lot. Been following this since you got it so there is a little sentiment here. So I hope you hang on to this one?
That truck is the perfect amount of ugly
I'll try to get some of the pics up here soon. Anything specific?
And this one should be sticking around for a bit!
Thanks! I think so too.
