Just showing off my truck! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I just like showing off my truck every once in a while!

It started out in life as an '81 3/4 ton 2WD, with a 305, TH350 auto, and 3.42 gears. It now sports a 6.2L diesel, 700R4 tranny, and 4.10 gears. It has keyless entry, CD player, a/c, firestone air springs in the rear, on board air compressor for the springs, aux. fuel tank in bed, Rhino Liner, dual side pipes, an Autometer Pro-Comp EGT guage, and a lot of other stuff. It came from the factory as a Custom Deluxe, with auto and a/c as the only options. I have since added carpeting, power windows/locks, and am starting on other parts of the interior. This truck has been a constant project since I bought it in 1995. I have a turbocharger laying in the shop waiting to go on....hopefully this winter sometime. You can read about my latest idea in the C-20 to K-20 thread.

I've owned a bunch of Chevy trucks, but this '81 has been and will always be my favorite!
