It was just such a tough truck as it sits and had survived pretty much intact and original for 23 years that I decided it would be a shame to make a whole bunch of changes to it trying to turn it into what I wanted.

I decided quite a while ago not to mess with turning the 78 K20 truck into something it was not and to just build another truck entirely. My 69 K10 project turned out to be the prefect platform for me as it was nothing but a rolling chassis with a factory A/C cab when I got it and was in need of some serious rebuild work to make it a usable truck again. A perfect blank slate to start building what I really want in a truck. The 69 K10 is getting the EFI & overdrive auto drive train that I bought for the 78 K20 along with A/C and some creature comforts the 78 did not have.

I feel better selling the 78 K20 as it was having not modified the truck in a manner that it a much less capable work truck. Everything I did to it made it stronger and more durable so it will live a long and productive life for years to come.
