Hello from northern Alberta
« on: October 27, 2015, 04:26:15 pm »
Hi, just stumbled across this forum during my research and I'm glad I found it! I'm from northern Alberta, Canada and recently bought a 1980 K20 (in my avatar) a few weekends ago for a steal of a deal. Runs like a top! It will be a work in progress for me to tinker with. I've always wanted one and this is exactly how I pictured it to be. Hoping to slowly turn it into a little mud/trail truck - nothing too stupid. Unless I end up winning the lottery and then I can fully restore it lol. I have a Duramax as well that I am slowly building. I work at a diesel shop so I have all sorts of learning resources and tools to use. I will definitely be lurking around reading for the most part and asking the odd question here and there.

Thanks!
