Hey Im Dean from Apple Valley Ca. I have a 1974 k20 long bed stepside, and a 1975 K5 jimmy. The jimmy is the project and the k20 will be for parts. As of now the k20 is what I wheel but I want something the whole family could ride in so the k5 will be it. Ok here is a pic of the k20
hi-img_0830.jpg
and here is the k5
hi-k5-20071507-2004-1-.jpg
Oh and the K20 was gonna be a trailer but got way too much crap for that from others, so someone on ck5 will be getting the cab, frame, bed for their project. Ok see ya on the trails.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

Yeah, there is a lot of wheeling in your area. :tumbleweed: I used to spend quite a bit of time up there for the off road races, but that was about 10 or 12 years ago. Before BLM got to bad.
