Well boys and girls, the Government finally approved the purchase of my "Brand Used" 1 ton military Chevy K30 pick up. It is in Barstow and I have my brother in law going to pick up for me as soon next Wednesday. So I'm taking the day off so that I will be home to take delivery of the beast. This truck is going to be my new toy. I will post pics as soon as I get it home. Steve

Yeah it has a Dana 60 in the front and a 14bff in the rear with a locker. So expect this thing to be one heck of a machine. Crossover steering, well lets just say the works.
