Finally talked my buddy into selling his K10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

52napco · 11-17-2021, 08:09 AM

A good friend bought this in Idaho and I've been hounding
him about buying it and he finally priced it to me.. it's original paint
But faded which is fine but super straight and very solid.
6.0 LS and 4L80 trans.. clean swap and decent MPG..Been looking for a while
So I had to cowboy up.. more pics to come.

That’s the only way to get them, nice score

FLYNAVY30 · 11-17-2021, 04:06 PM

well done!!

vectorit · 11-17-2021, 08:03 PM

Very nice!
And all the heavy lifting work has been already done.
Enjoy!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-17-2021, 09:03 PM

Awesome buy! That looks to be super solid and straight!

**70cst** · 11-18-2021, 05:33 PM

That is so cool

CG · 11-18-2021, 11:06 PM

Man that's a nice one. I bet it wasn't cheap even if it was your buddy. Four inch lift?

Yes 4" and they have gotten crazy price wise

**HO455** · 11-19-2021, 01:54 PM

Best reason to have friends! It is sweet!

**3757chevy** · 11-18-2021, 11:14 PM

Very nice.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-21-2021, 11:15 AM

Nice find, absolutely beautiful.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-29-2021, 03:32 PM

If you've only been driving shortbed rigs, watch your backing into slots. A go-around is better than dealing with some other guy's insurance.
Nice Sub.

**allchevy58** · 12-04-2021, 11:24 PM

Nice, congrats!

wesleytucker454 · 01-11-2022, 11:47 AM

I'm ready for the updated pics! Awesome rig!

52napco · 01-11-2022, 12:25 PM

Bought a nice rear hatch and ordered CARS inc. seat covers but are 5 months out..

notsolo · 01-11-2022, 08:21 PM

Nice score, can we get some under hood photo's too please...IMO...back up camera would be a good investment, thinking of adding 1, to my LWB pickup, need to do some to research.

BigBird05 · 01-13-2022, 07:45 PM

notsolo, hijacking this thread for safety, I have a backup camera on my Yukon, it has stopped me from backing up over a small child. You can get wireless ones now.

uppster · 03-17-2022, 10:08 PM

What is decent mileage to you?

52napco · 03-19-2022, 06:34 PM

It's gets in the 14 to 15 range...not bad for a heavy brick going down the road

**Ironhorse** · 03-20-2022, 08:38 PM

Classy looking ride for sure. I've owned three Burbs, all square bodies, never owned the 67-72 style. Wish I still had my last, a 91 Burb, 4WD and VERY comfortable, got about 16-16.5 for mileage. Should have never sold it. Any plans for the paint or leave it the original factory patina? Tough question to answer I would think.

That's great mileage! Especially for a K model.

52napco · 03-23-2022, 04:59 PM

Little scared to spend any money right now...if things were to
Miraculously get better I'll paint it.
Thanks for the compliments

And I did order some 16x8s to replace the 6" wheels

52napco · 04-29-2022, 05:35 PM

Well after over 4 months the 16×8s shipped Wednesday.😁😁... I'll post a pic next week for comparison.

**LEEVON** · 03-23-2022, 09:18 AM

Wow that is perfect!
