Nice ride. A nice lift and some 35" tires would look good!

Wish that was in my driveway - that would be soo sweet to be able to fit the family - not that my wife would want to ride in it - what is up with that!
Looks like a great addition!! ------------------ 1969 C20 4x4 with roughly 6" lift and 35's residing near Rose Hill, Kansas Yukon Jack's Web Pages

Another thing I like, I registered it with 1972 Year-of-manufacture AZ plates. I think the '68 YOM AZ plates on my '68 are a nicer color, but they still beat those ugly multi-colored pieces of junk they hand out nowdays!

Ol Buck, I forked out $3500. Body is mostly straight (a little bondo job on the drivers rear quarter panel), and just two tiny tiny rust spots. Paint is junk, interior is nice - but not original upholstery, engine is solid, tranny is solid. I think I got a good deal.

That's not bad money for one as nice as that!!! If i could find one that nice, i'd roll that exploder up in a ball with the loader tractor if for no other reason than to keep someone else from having to put up with the P O S. I'd have bought a burb like that in a heartbeat!!
