Not exactly new to the trucks since I drove one daily for work through the late 80s and all through the 90s, but I just never owned one. I worked for a towing company and ran a 73 c30, 2 79 K30s, 83 C30, 85 C30, 85 K30 wreckers and an 87 C30 rollback.
I always was into Chevy vans and Jeeps for truck type vehicles and never needed one for hauling... I'd just borrow a truck off of my father or brother if I needed one.
Anyway, for no particular reason, I decided to buy a truck. I guess 2 vans, a Jeep, 2 Harleys and an old Oldsmobile just didn't take up enough room at the house.
I've always been partial to the square bodies, which is unfortunate since newer 90s Chevy trucks are going for around half the price...
Anyway... this one is an 86 K10 with a 400sb and 3 speed granny tranny on 33" tires. Don't blame me for the ugly orange and stupid green wheel accent paint scheme... I'm considering painting it Camo and getting some factory truck rally wheels.

I think it would look much better without the green accented wheels.
