That's pretty cool. It looks to be in decent shape bodywise. I dig it!

this is my 1985 k20 custom deluxe.  Picked it up Sunday 4/12.

Pic of the rear bumper..before it take it to the scrappers.

OK, my wife said that the placement of the logo was how they did it on older trucks and that this isn't the original..i dunno.

shot of the interior..it gets worse

see, i told you it gets worse..but wait, there's more!

pretty sure the true mileage is 1,070,492

serious rust issues

What logo wasnt original?? Lot of rust there, but plenty of potential. Not bad
