New 1979 Chevy
« on: April 12, 2012, 08:18:52 am »
Hi, I am Matt from Oklahoma and I recently purchased a 1979 K10 with a 350 4bbl and 350 tranny.  It has been very mistreated over its life and so far I have had to do a little bit of work to get her road worthy.  Still a little ways to go.  There will probably be a new motor and tranny this coming fall/winter for her.

 Welcome from Va Matt. To bad that most of these trucks we find have had a rough life.
