Hey everyone. Mark here, a 33 year old self-employed automotive dismantler and avid GM lover. Divorced, one step-daughter (13 years old).
[/move][/move][/move][/move]My first truck in the series was a 79 K20 ($800.00), 350/SM455 which I attached a snowplow to. I lent it to my ex-wife, her boyfriend blew it up and stuck me with a $250.00 towing bill. When I went to get it, I realized that the rockers, body mounts and floors were to much for me to handle repairing, so I handed over the title.
I was like 22 years old, and not in any position to handle the job.
My second was an 84 K10 Silverado ($700.00). Original 305, changed to a 350 by the old owner which ran like crap. I ran the heck out of it for 2 years, but by the time I built a motor for it, the usual chevy rust had taken over, the rear wheel bearings disintegrated, and I gave up. It then became the parts donor to my latest girlfriend:
"The Lady In Red" - an 86 K10 Custom Deluxe ($200.00
). Original 305 and a TH350 someone decided to toss into it to replace that dreaded 700R4 over-sized paperweight that never belonged in it to begin with.
Take a look at the pics which I will be posting in a few minutes. It's unbelievable the deal I got on this neglected, torn and tattered "diamond in the rough"
