No more truck

Well for the first time in over 10 years I have no running driving Chevy truck. Just let my K20 go to a good friend of mine. He has some pretty neat plans for it, and I know he will take it to a new level.

Not sure if he will join the board or not, hope he does. He's been to some of our functions, barn build, and swap meet, so he has met some members.

Just got the chassis to my panel back from Livrat, I just need to paint it up and a few other things before the body goes back on. So maybe in the next 6 months Ill have a Chevy on the road again.

Course I did pick up a 62 Unibody, not a board friendly ride lol, but it is Chevy powered =)


My ex K20 ...

Re: No more truck

That was/is a good looking truck. Hope you find a replacement at some point

Re: No more truck

I bet Bonni is a bit upset that he doesn't have a truck to ride in.

Re: No more truck

Wow. How will you survive without a 4wd Chevy. I have always had one and seriously fear the thought of not having one. I just can't imagine life w/o. Enjoy your panel once it's done.

It makes it run right and stay that way for longer anyway. I have thoughts of a perfect shortbed trio of an early-60s GM Fleetside/Wideside,Ford unibody(Styleside),and Dodge Sweptline...all with GM power!
