Maiden voyage in K20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dean · 02-23-2004, 09:11 AM

I drove my 71 K20 project for the first time Sunday. I'm sure the neighbors loved it with no exhaust. No problems so far. I figured I would have some leaks. Still plenty to do, but getting closer.
