Wertzy, welcome to the forum! I think you have a very nice Grandfather. Yeah the bug deflector needed to go, and the steps will help too.
Oh yeah, it's a "truck" not a car.... :p

welcome from louisiana, and i concur, that is a very clean truck, you are very fortunate to have a first car so nice. My truck is my first car also (im 17), and though its not the hottest thing, these kinda trucks are great first rides IMHO.

very clean ride! was it your grandpa's truck, or was it bought specifically for you? my '77 K20 belonged to my grandpa, there's only one way you'll ever get me to part with it... pry the keys from my cold dead hand. its got a whole lot more sentimental value than everything i've ever owned combined.

Although nobody bought my truck or owned it before me except the guy I bought it from, it being my first truck besides my 83 GMC which I didn't like, and I won't ever sell my 85, only way anybody is getting is if i'm dead also

Once you remove the bug guard and running boards and its time for tires, go up a size or two. It will give the truck a lot more attitude! Looks sweet for a first second, third.... or whatever ride!!!

Very good lookin truck, lose the running boards and get some bigger tires and that thing would be really nice.

Wow so many welcomes. I have a feeling I'm going to like this place.
Yeah, I've already heard it about the running boards. LOL. I'm also thinking about taking off the mud flaps too. I believe my grandpa was the sole owner of this. I might be wrong. He's had it for a while, thats all I know. Hopefully after christmas I'll have the cat-back dual exhaust on it. |

Welcome... Im a little late, but thats alright.
All I can say is, be very very careful when you add modifications to that truck, and dont do anything to it that you havent thought out. I would hate to accidentally mess up a centimental piece like that.

Well actually, what i was really trying to say was "Wow! nice truck. That was pretty cool of your grandpa. Take care of it, it will make a nice gift for your kids someday" Nothing farm related there.

I think he was referring to the ...corn you put at the end of all your posts.
