Welcome from central California. My friend used to have an 83 diesel K5. That thing was great.

Growing up I never did drive a diesel. Think the first one was maybe 6 years ago and it was a buddy's with i think a nv4500 behind a 6.5 td. The smell that thing makes would put a smile on my face and I would come up with any excuse I could to drive it. Now I have my cummins and 4l80e, it doesn't feel the same but it has a different feeling knowing what monster I built
