new to me 1979 K10
« on: March 19, 2019, 10:21:15 AM »
I just picked up this 79 K10 this weekend, the odometer reads 79,000 and from the looks of the truck I believe it's correct. The truck sat for quite a while and the frame is pretty badly rust out back but the body has very little rust or rot. I'll pull the bed and wire brush the frame. Needs rockers, tailgate is pretty bad, needs new springs (2" lift) and tires, keeping the same look.
This will be my daily driver, selling my 13 Tacoma to keep the wife happy. I restored 72 k20 for a sunny days.
