Finally talked my buddy into selling his K20

A good friend bought this in Idaho and I've been hounding
him about buying it and he finally priced it to me.. it's original paint
But faded which is fine but super straight and very solid.
6.0 LS and 4L80 trans.. clean swap and decent MPG..Been looking for a while
So I had to cowboy up.. more pics to come.

Re: Finally talked my buddy into selling his K10

If you've only been driving shortbed rigs, watch your backing into slots. A go-around is better than dealing with some other guy's insurance.
Nice Sub.

notsolo, hijacking this thread for safety, I have a backup camera on my Yukon, it has stopped me from backing up over a small child. You can get wireless ones now.

Re: Finally talked my buddy into selling his K10

Classy looking ride for sure. I've owned three Burbs, all square bodies, never owned the 67-72 style. Wish I still had my last, a 91 Burb, 4WD and VERY comfortable, got about 16-16.5 for mileage. Should have never sold it. Any plans for the paint or leave it the original factory patina? Tough question to answer I would think.

Little scared to spend any money right now...if things were to
Miraculously get better I'll paint it.
Thanks for the compliments

And I did order some 16x8s to replace the 6" wheels
