Agree, very good looking ride! Does the interior look as good as the exterior? Enter as a truck probably less competition and better chance to win. Mingle and take lots of pictures.
Yes, inside looks new, dash, wheel, gauges. The seats are buckets from a Land Rover and center console from a Tahoe. Looks clean and sharp inside.

Please share a picture? I’m working on a 1983 K20 custom deluxe and questioning if I want to install the uncomfortable bench seat.

All the electrical is wired, and the seats work. Just no need to adjust them once they are comfortable. These arm rest are manual and easy to adjust. Console big enough to hide a gun safe under the cup holder. Pretty good setup if I don't say.

Mine was the only 4x4
You have a Very Nice Truck. 4WD wasn't that common during the Square Body era, when I was a kid nobody had a 4WD. Dad's '77 GMC 4WD used to get a lot of attention, just because nobody had 4wd back then. Now, most trucks seem to be 4WD.

Mine is usually the only 4WD at the small, local car shows in this area. Even at Cruisin the Coast 4WD Square Body trucks are rare.

Good luck! Gorgeous truck. I’ve got nuthin’ as far as what category to enter, whatever you want to park next to I suppose.

I’d have to enter the “good enough for me “ category. :anitoof:

That's kind of odd for around here anymore. Most notable, the yearly squarebody show in Richmond Indiana. There's probably more 4x4's than 2wd every year. The local shows I have been to in recent years, it seems to be a mixed bag.

Scratch that. After refreshing my memory with the pictures I took of the show this year, it's probably more like 75% 4x4's.
