So the driver was the final one and of course it snapped off. Even after i blasted it with pb blaster...- killerpiller

Hey everyone, Recently picked up a 1980 K10 Scottsdale with the 5.7L small block v8 and TH350 transmission. Frame is in good condition. Drivetrain seems decent. I am still working through the engine bay. Of course, it need some of the standard body panel replacement (cab corners, cab...- killerpiller
