    New here- my Grandad's 1984 K10

    Hi folks- Posting here because I suspect I'll be searching these forums a bunch and potentially asking for help as I do all the things necessary to maintain this truck and keep it running as a DD. I grew up in this truck. My late grandfather bought it new from C.O.D. Motor Co. in Minden, NV...
