1971 K20- project just get driveable!!

Not doing a full resto on this one since I have a 1972 K20 resto that I'm going full frame off on. I do need a functional 4x4 for plowing my property in the winter and doing work in the summer and that's where this truck will fit the bill. I am going to have it driveable in 60 days, thats my goal.

Its not loaded but another one of these base models that seems far from entry level, since it has the following features:

-4x4
-V8
-disc brakes (std in '71)
-power brakes (std on 3/4's in this year)
-power steering
-4spd
-2tone with stripe

Its got a clean title and matching SPID, frame, Vin tag, etc so the goal is to eventually get it roadworthy but for now, just get it off roadworthy. Warning, pictures aren't pretty, she needs a lot of work but hey, original K20's aren't super easy to find so I think she's worth saving. And if you didn't think I was nuts already, the hood and valve covers have been off for years and the box is toast!
