The lack of fender emblems and drip rails also hints of a rushed repaint (some people do omit them intentionally for their own personal preference rather than cost cutting though.) but a k20, is still a k20, and would've been worth a gamble for parts alone at the $2500 price tag.
Well since your giving it away can I take just one payment?
I like the tall canopy. I like above cab height canopies for the extra space, but personally I prefer the tin canopies BC they are light enough for me to take on and off by myself. I don't like pipes out before the rear wheel because of added noise and exhaust that gets in the cab, but it's a cheap way of getting the exhaust done. IDK about the dent it's not that bad I'd run that truck.
If I didn't have the farm and wife I'd be all in. That would be fun, but first we will need to build a BB square as our tow vehicle. Since there will be 2 of us and we will be far from home on some of these runs perhaps a suburban would be in order. 454 W/ SM465 or TH400?
Good luck. I just can't believe the value of a square. I hope you get to take it home for around 2K
Funny you should mention deleting the drip rail. I'm considering extending the drip rails so when I open the door when it's wet out the rain has to go farther down the A pillar before it falls on my legs, seat and such when exiting the vehicle.
Wow that's nuts. Even up here in the land of rust that might be a $4-5k truck if the rest of it was really as solid as it looks. I still think he's getting a great deal, but really 10k being "sinful", especially down south where there is no road salt? Who would've thought
I haven't done it, but I know exactly what you mean. Why anyone would want to remove them is beyond me, if anything I'd rather have them a little longer...
Brother has some drip rail in his parts stash he said I can play with. I haven't had any serious time noodling it yet, but with monsoon season on the way I've got too much to do before then to figure something out. When I do, I'll post up a thread to it.
That would be awesome. Let me know how it goes
Saw an 87 k10 on Mecum Texas go for 55k.
I knew a guy that did custom work on lots of squares back in the day. He said that "shaved" trucks were very trendy at one point. Many custom shops made it a point to eliminate as much exterior components as possible, the drip rails were often the first things to go. Mirror deletes, and filling in tailgate and door handles became common place too. I always hated the "shaved" look, but lots of folks paid lots of money to do it to their trucks, whether it was practical or not.
I remember living through that time where everyone shaved everything, and I still never understood it. Yeah I understand the "form over function", I remember when I worked at a junkyard and was requires to haul my tools back and forth to work (and even ended up living out of my car for a while during that time period) I still would not have anything other than a 2-seat fastback sports car. But I don't want it to rain inside my car (well, with the exception of the t-tops that didn't seal perfectly on that car lol)... I understand trying to look cool and enjoying certain unpractical things out of nothing but pleasure, but something like drip rails are so functional (and look normal) that it seems pointless to remove them. Especially on something utilitarian like a Chevy truck, not like they're sporty, pretty, or "cool"...
They are literally everywhere up here. I did a triathlon on Sunday and the bike course was 6 miles of back country rural road out and back from the lake. During that 6 miles out and 6 miles back, I saw AT LEAST three K20's in various fields and such that obviously hadn't been moved in years, two blazers in the same condition, several suburbans, and two crew cab 4x4's. $2k is about right for a K20 in this area with decent paint and interior. NOT good paint and interior, that would push it into the $3-5k range. Great condition with drivetrain upgrades is where you start to get into the $10-15k range. They are just too prevalent around here to go anywhere near that crazy $20-30k price range unless it has serious custom upgrades to suspension and drivetrain.
