My wife and I were given her fathers 1981 K20 this past weekend. We were given this truck on the condition that we finish it. It is running and driving but needs the interior, hvac and trim reassembled. Looking forward to drawing on the resources available here.

Yes and it will be getting bolted down at some point too. I actually wanted to put on a headache rack and go closer to stock height but surprisingly my wife wants to keep the 35s, the lift and the roll bar.

she must be related to her father the one who picked those big meats.

I can remember back in high school some trucks had PVC pipes for such light bars.
