I have been checking out this site for awhile and just picked up a 86 k20 about 2 months ago. I've already done a lot of work to the truck. But it's progressing nicely.

Thanks

Thanks,

The truck was worse when I first got it. I have already swapped motors, new exhaust, and put new lug nuts & center caps. Fortunately there is no rust in the truck.

Yeah I got really lucky. Even the interior is really nice. I'm hoping to put a 4" lift with 35's by the end of the year.

Thanks, do have much experience with running 35's? The truck will never really see a lot of off-roading. Just the occasional gravel road for wood cutting and hunting season. I've been told I should be fine with a 4" lift but then guys at Les Schwab say it needs a 6" lift.
