Re: 1979 C10 Diesel.....

That turned out really nice. And I’ll bet that truck will get 20+ mph all day long. Easiest way to keep from breaking head bolts is to install .010” thicker head gaskets to lower compression and don’t hot rod the engine. It’ll last a long time with the right treatment. But it’s not for everyone. My guess is it will be hard to get your asking price with the diesel in it. You can get a lot of nice finished gas trucks in that price range. Most people will want to get rid of the diesel so paying $15k and still having to do an engine swap = too much in my opinion.
