Default New Truck!

Okay well new to me anyways. It's a 1982 Chevy K20 Scottsdale, with a 350/700R4/NP208. It hadn't run in 2 years, got it for $500, and got her running in 10 minutes. It's a little rusty, needs brakes all around, shocks, exhaust, and some other minor stuff but she runs like a champ! I threw on an air cleaner I had laying around because the stock one was full of oil residue and mouse poop, checked the fluids, put on my jumper pack and she started on the second try. The motor leaks a lot of oil but it runs really well.

Gonna replace some parts, and it's going to be my daily driver to work instead of my Cummins. Then in the future, it'll get a 6 inch lift with 35s and the 355 out of my Bel Air.

Thanks! The interior is in really nice shape. There are some much nicer ones around here but for 500 bucks it's still a steal. The bed is really rusty but my dad has a Drake flat bed he said I could have if I wanted it or if I can't find another box.

That is in great shape for being this far north, normally the road salt eats them up.
