Great find! Amazing the difference a set of wheels and a wash makes lol. What are your plans for it? New motor?

Re: Auction find 83 k3500

Your pictures are pretty deceiving. The body looks to be a decent driver condition. I'd say you did alright for what you paid for it.

Re: Auction find 83 k3500

I agree with Damien, she looks pretty dang good from the picture. Are you going to use it as a parts truck or keep it together and fix it up?

Re: Auction find 83 k3500

Just one of the bad spots. Needs a bed at least, cab floor driver side, being in a field for over 10 years in Pa. didn't help and it was a plow truck.
Also moving day for a bunch of mice.
Still worth it.

Re: Auction find 83 k3500

Pictures ARE deceiving. These other two, an 82 k20 and a 79 k20 "dually" were way beyond repair. Both plow trucks too.

Didn't know about it until the night before Bob. Probably a good 3 1/2 hours from you. Seriously, the other two?
Scrap at best, but if all you needed was the axles . . . Everything sold to highest bidder but I wasn't there for the other two, They may not have sold, I sent you the owner's email.

Re: Auction find 83 k3500

pretty cool to see good deals are out there. i remember like 10 years ago you used to be able to pick up the old military blazers and k30s for dirt cheap too as no one really wanted them.

Re: Auction find 83 k3500

I don't know those trucks are totally gone....hell I just made a deal for this truck-I got a lot of nice parts from this young fella too-I just can't pass up a factory black CC dually....lol. Yeah it's tuff but once I toss a few parts at it, replace the driveshafts/carrier bearing (which is why it's sitting) it'll get the full GM NOS replacement treatment.
