Re: Know the history of your truck ?

I might have posted this story before. I bought my K20 in Oct of 95 in Billings Montana when I saw it sitting at a dealer lot (I was driving a 69 copper K10 at the time). I stopped to look at the SPID and couldn't let it sit there any longer (Custom Camper). When I went to finally pick it up a few days later I noticed a guy following behind me. I made a couple of turns but the guy was still there, so I decided to pull over (maybe not the best decision). I got out and walked back to ask what the problem was and the guy said I had just bought his Uncles old truck!. His Dad and his Uncle both bought new K20s in 72 and they drove them to Alaska to go hunting. The guy had been driving past the dealer lot every couple of days looking to see if the truck was still there, he happened to catch me driving it off the lot. So fast forward to today and I am still in a 5 year frame off rebuild with all body work done, painted, engine rebuild, new front D60 new 14BFF rear gears with locker, custom fuel injection.....I might have missed something.
