Where is the listing? Can you copy the link over?
I’m sure it’s an easy procedure but I can’t seem to send the link... Find the listing in Hemmings, Buy&Sell section, Classic Trucks, Chevrolet make, K10s, 1980s.
Buy it.. it’s the nicest and lowest mile truck you will ever find!

Oh, I don't think it is worth it for that price. But it is a nice truck. I got my truck with 76,000 and I sure did not spend that kind of dough. And I think mine is a nice truck and I don't have to worry.

I went online and looked at it. That is a silk purse made out of a Sows ear. That truck was used for snow plowing. I wouldn't touch it with your 10 foot pole. There is a lot of surface rust on that to be asking that much money.

You’re right, I see the surface rust ( Michigan salted winter roads ). They’re asking too much

'86 K20, "mostly" original, save for the lift and at some point the 350 left for a Vortech 454. It'll be a bit of a project. Paint is original, save for some "touch up" with a rattle can. At least they got the right color.
Still original running gear with 4.10s.

Lol. "Mostly Original", except for the wheels, mudflaps, visor, bed edge guards, bug guard, grab handle, tinted windows, plastic side window flares, and then the stuff you listed.

My old 90 burb was 100% original, the one I had up for sale not long ago.... No mods... Nothing.
Same factory tire size, ugly ass wheels, beauty rings... Original motor, tranny, rear end to the best of what I could tell. Nothing was molested on it, not bad for a truck that was nearing 250k miles. Same two tone as @Grit dog truck.


Even had the same original Illinois rust where it came from

I would consider those to be “day 2” mods which don’t detract from the truck being original. Nice truck @Grit dog :waytogo:

I my found my '90 GMC Suburban SLE 4x4 V1500 in 2004 at the local Goodwill Donation Center with 225k on it. Peeling paint, passenger front door caved in, flat front tire. It was love at first site. I had it repainted, and there are towing/transmission/performance things hidden. Otherwise, it's as it was, when sold as a dealer demo with 10,000mi on it (at time of original sale). I'm the 2nd owner. Original engine. Original transmission was rebuilt for the first time at 235k. It has 306k on it now. While my daughter was in high school, it logged a lot of hours and miles hauling members of the cross-country and track teams all over the state, and had quite a reputation among those athletes.

A couple years after being repainted:

Nothing special under the hood other than the Edelbrock manifold, modded TB, and the long 454 radiator and fan:

Had to put new tires on it...found a rim off a ‘77 to replace the one that was rusted out. Had to put a new clutch in it since the rats built a nest that I couldn’t get out. Installed gauges so I could read the actual my temps instead of waiting for the light to come on. Dad painted the bumper . Everything else is as it came in ‘84. I’ve only put about 75 miles on since I’ve had it the last few months.
