Hi,

Bob here. Just purchased a 1985 K20 with LT9/SM465/NP208 drive train with 150K original miles. This is my first Chevy. Searching for info on these trucks and found this site. Live in Goodlettsville, Tennnesse which is north of Nashville. Looking for information and helpful people when I run into trouble. Thanks.

wow!! that is slick!

 

[Mr Clean]

That's not fair you bought it that way. That is a damn good looking truck.

Holy crap that is nice!!! to GMSB!

 

[DesertBob]

Thanks. Needs some work. Has cancer on the rear passenger corner and the drivers side rocker. Still has the original shocks that need to be replaced. The drivers side gas tank is rusty according to the previous owner. Other than that the interior is in very good shape and the body is very straight. Has original motor with 150K miles. Not bad for $4k. Hard to find a good 3/4 ton pickup for less than that these days here in Middle-Tennessee. I am happy now that it passed the emissions test.

Yeah, Most of the time those 3/4 tons are beat up pretty bad from being worked but that thing is really straight! Do you know if it's been restored at some point in the past?

Based on what I see I think this truck is all original. Was owned by an older gent who took really good care of the truck. I spent the better part of a Saturday replacing Vacuum lines, belts and other items. All still had their GM part numbers and marks.

That is awesome! What a find....

Funny thing is that I originally purchased the truck to haul stuff around my property and then sell it after my girls graduate from college in 3 years. Now the truck is growing on me and I am thinking that I might just keep it and replace the rusty panels and repaint it. Who knows a lot can happen in 3 years.
