Re: New K-10
I don't like to kiss and tell, but it was a good deal. Drove it quite a bit yesterday and let my 14 year old son drive it. Runs great.

Re: New K-10
my iPhone wont send them bigger that are small enough for this posting. it has new 16" tires. wheels rusted. probably doing a 80s "restore" with white wagon wheels, flowmasters and a buff job. ditch the running boards. maybe a 2" lift. one back quarter with small rust. solid otherwise.

Re: New K-10
That is a nice find! Inside looks great. Its cool to see some thing old with so few miles, not to mention most of the pickups in that area are full of rust.

Re: New K-10
Thanks for the larger pics! I agree about the running boards and the grab bars need to go also in my opinion. Really nice looking rig, nice and straight!

Re: New K-10
ditched the running boards and installed new swap meet dumbo mirror heads. also all new exhaust from manifolds back and painted the hitch. need to tune up, change oil and buff. getting close to my late 70's early 80's "restoration"

Re: New K-10
Thanks for all the kudos. It is hard to believe that is 35 year old paint.
