What’s happening guys.
New to the site and new to square bodies.
I’m kind of a shade tree mechanic, not a professional by any means and I’m learning as I go with these trucks.
My ride is an ‘83 K20 which I rescued from a farm in North Dakota.
I nicknamed her “Rolling Thunder” since it had open headers and no exhaust when I first got her.
She’s a reliable daily driver now, with a few little electrical gremlins and HVAC issues I’m working out.
Hoping to learn a lot from the old salts here.

Dickinson.

I thought that looked familiar. That's my area.

I thought that looked familiar. That's my area.

It was a lifelong Dickinson truck and it shows. Every crack and crevice was packed with red dirt. I found some maintenance records and documentation when I was cleaning it out, all from the Dickinson/Belfield area going back to the 90's.
The kid I bought it from didn't have much information on it, other than it had sat in a field since 2015 and his mother got it as part of an estate sale last February and I bought it in April.

The red dirt will probably be more the belfield area or north side of interstate between there and Dickinson. Definitely recognize that truck. I do remember the ad for it vaguely too.
