New user, 85 K20 scots
« on: April 23, 2012, 09:29:54 pm »
Howdy, new owner and came across your site. Just picked up a 85 k20 scotsdale last week for under a grand, so as you can probably guess, it's a real winner! Needs everything but a hood, cab looks salvageable. I was wanting something to haul building supplies for house as I get the money, and pull some small trees, with a granny 3sp hopefully that's one place it will shine. It runs fairly well for now, but it's a mess under hood too. Looks like it's stuck on full choke, patchwork wiring and fuel fixes, a ton of unconnected vaccum lines. Hopefully a project someday, but too much on my plate atm with an old house and a dirt floor shed full of 2 wheel projects waiting to be cemented.
