Jumping in from Searcy AR. I am a career firefighter/EMT. I currently have a couple projects going. I was working on a 70 k10 and looking for a parts truck when I ran across my newest project, an 87 k20. I found it sitting with no motor but everything else is in great shape. I picked it up at a steal for $500. I should have it on the road in less than a month.

Here are the pics

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

:welcome:
I'd have a hard time deciding which project to start first.

Nice looking trucks! I wish we had 1st and 2nd generation anything with no rust like those.

The 87 will see the road first. I should have it going in the next couple weeks. I am not going to do much to it right now other than make it run. I am in desperate need of a tall truck to get me to a place I own. The water gets high during the winter and cuts me off. This truck will see a lot of mud/water so looks arent going to matter. The 72 on the other hand, is a dream I have had for a long time. I am going to take my time and do it right. I am afraid it my take awhile.
