Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed

Looks really good. I'm glad you are keeping her for the time being. How do you like the Detroit in the rear on the daily driver?

I admit I overreacted on the smog, it really was no big deal to fix and was stupid on my part to get all mad about it, I learned to keep my cool about it.

The locker is pretty good, it does have it quirks being a locker and all such as the random "bang" which has happened about 3 times since being in there but its really no big deal to drive on a daily basis with no snow. If it snowed here, I would have put a trutrac in it. I hardly ever need 4 wheel drive now.

Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed

Dropping it off for paint on Friday I'm very excited, I have never had a car or truck painted before.

one of my favorite things is new paint day and new wheel/tire day. How long are they supposed to have it and how long do you think they will have it? Just got mine back from paint last week. 30 days turned in to 100

He said 2-3 weeks, we will see. His boss is my uncle so its more of a family friend deal so hopefully he gets it done in a timely manner. I just want a nice solid job done so if it takes more time its OK with me.
