Howdy! New Member from OKC

Howdy All! Been reading this forum for the past several weeks. Lot‘s of great posts and information here and lot’s of great members as well. I‘ve got a fairly eclectic range of 4x4’s in my stable now (IH Scouts, Toyota’s, and a ‘73 K5) but I’ve always wanted an ‘82-‘87 K20. I finally happened upon one that I couldn’t pass up but I’m still waiting for it to be delivered. It’s an ‘86 Scottsdale K20, one-family owned truck with 69k original miles. It’s a fairly low-optioned truck but it’s in great condition. There are several factory mods that I want to add so I’m sure that I’ll be posting several questions on here as I go along. In the meantime, here are some pictures of how the truck is today…

Thanks to all for the welcomes so far.

@Grit dog I saw your truck when I first visited this site and loved it. I was thrilled when I found your truck’s nearly identical twin!

Thanks again to all for the welcome.

@Grit dog I’m still waiting for the truck to be shipped from your neighborhood in the PNW. I saw that you’re about to paint your truck. I’m hoping that the paint on mine is as nice in real life as it is in the pictures that I have.

”happy trees” as Bob Ross would say…

Looks like somewhere on the Wet side of the cascades based on the pics. Whereabouts?
Hope the paint is as good as it looks? Anyone who takes pics like that has a fat wallet or is real good with a polisher and spent plenty of time wet sanding. Always hard to tell but that could be show quality the way it looks.
Yup just finished the last of the body work and all the filler priming is done and sanded. Saw your pics and went out and finished the windshield patches and sanded the cab, yesterday….lol. And called the upholstery guy to get the seat in.
Is that a 6” lift?
