perfect truck for a high school kid

Welcome to the board and you have a fine truck.

I see you live in Salt Lake County. I hope removing the smog pumps doesn't create issues for you when it comes time to do the IM/Safety inspection.

as state above welcome to the board. i my self am 17 and just finished restoring my 86 GMC 2500 4x4. i love it because i can replace a part in my own shop and not have to take it to a dealer. And not to many of them are around if im not driving it its sitting in my drive way getting washed haha.

Welcome to the boards! Good to see some of the younger generation loving the old steel. Much better then some rice cutter with a chicken wing on the back with a soup can exhaust.

My boi is 18 and is waiting for the day to drive the bag off my dually.

I just turned 18. I drive an 82 short step with a 350/4speed. My whole high school drives post 1995 cars with the exception of a Model A hotrod and a 75 dart. We have been caught smoking the tires numerous times

man i wish i had pics of the 83 c10 i had in high school. i went to my 10 year reunion in a 79 i had and everyone thought it was the same truck. now i have an 85 and plan to take it to the 20 year reunion next year. my 85 makes the 4th c10/k10 i have had. i have loved them since i was old enough to know what a chevy truck was. my only k10 was a 81 and she was a fine ride.

love seeing young people love these trucks like we do.

on a side note my daughter has a 94 dodge dakota and she asked if i could build her a 80 to 85 c10 for her graduation. says she hates the baby truck her moms mother bought her. there is a girl on the site 4x4s4allie and my 17yo lil girl love her truck and that she is a girl and works on it.
