Myself, I am a C20 long bed guy but would own a K20 if affordable, which they are not any more.

These guys doing these conversions from long to short, c20 to c10 and LS swaps are getting $10K -$15K. The truck is still patina or rotted, whatever you prefer to call it. scratched glass, ripped seats, no finish work at all.

My prayer is that the younger guys getting into these trucks do them justice and keep them going, long after we are gone. The probability is low but at least we can hope that our generation will help those young guys grow some interest.

I believe it is stronger now than even 5 years ago. Facebook has probably 100 different Chevy truck related pages to choose from.

I am very old school but have to understand the age of LS is here and its not going away. Embrace it or not.
At 31 I’m sure I’m once of the younger ones here. I’m doing my best to keep them going and I know there are others around my age who still have interest in them. It’ll be interesting to See how things are in 10-20 years+.
