Re: 1971 K20- project just get driveable!!

So one thing I wanted to tell you guys about is "Randolph". I was busy with this project a couple years ago when not posting on here. This ended up becoming my winter daily driver. I was drawn to the truck for parts because it had a rebuilt upgraded TBI engine in it and i could use the trans for my 72K20 and the seat for my 86K30. It turned out to be a pretty solid truck despite the body needing some work. It just drove too nice to take apart so I spent a couple months restoring the body, different fenders, bed, inner fender, POR15'ing the frame, new gas tank and fuel lines, and new snow tires. Body still isn't show quality but thats ok because I drive it in the winter here. Interior was in amazing shape to start with. It had a chevy front end on it but I took it back to GMC. Here are before and after pics.
