Greetings from the Phoenix Valley. I'm currently on my 3rd Third-Gen. My first was a 1978 K25 regular cab step-side. That had a NP203 mated to a TH350, and just a regular ol' 350 under the hood. 6 inch suspension lift on 35s for a while, then 33s to curb inner fender rub at turn lock without getting new rims. Had to part ways with that truck and I've missed it ever since. Next was a '74 C10. Nothing special, regular cab short bed. No lift, 350 and a TH350. Used it to pull my pop-up camper. That wasn't really enough room, as if I went camping with more than 1 other person we had to take 2 vehicles.
So, I sold that and began looking for a crew cab. Which brings me to my third and current truck, a 1984 C30 Crew Cab long bed Camper Special. Power windows, power locks (3 of 4, anyway) one of the previous owner installed a gooseneck (which needs to be re-done). I'm selling off my current push/brush guard and bumper and I'll be welding up a new bumper, front hitch, maybe a winch mount, because "why not?"
