I stared to work on my 1986 K30. I'm changing the carb to fuel injection and thinking about using a 4l80 trans Then paint I've had it since 1987 so it time for up grades
My 86 K30 got it new had the little factory headers without cats the pipes had heat shields around the pipes back to mufflers Replaced mufflers 10 years ago but pipes still good. Still drive it every day. Got down now having it painted now
