Hi folks, signed up a couple of weeks ago and just got around to my first post. I picked up this 1981 K30 4X4 dually a few weeks ago. This truck was may dad's way back when. Dad passed away 4 years ago. He actually built the bed as seen in the picture. (if I figure out how to upload it) I have been trying to get this truck back in the family for quite some time and the guy finally let it go as he also knew my dad and was glad I was getting it. So anyway, I will be hanging out here for quite some time and picking all you guys brains as long as I can. Quite a few things have to be gone through. Engine rebuild, transfer case bearings. front u joints. And brakes are about non existent.

That's pretty close to me. Maybe 12 or 13 miles. Should put her between West Terre Haute and the state line there abouts? I went to high school out that way. A very long time ago LOL I am actually up by New Goshen if you have ever heard of it?
