That's quite the 6 lugger, or is that 6 shooter?
Seriously though, very sharp truck!

haha, those are the shift knobs for the trans and 4x4. I thought they were pretty cool w/ the 6 shooter on the glove box

I don't want to comment before all the facts are in but I think the previous owner might have been a gun nut.

not a nut, just an avid hunter and small town country man.

Nice ride. Any known history? Spid?

I was able to get these pics of the SPID but the codes are missing from the left.

Did you go to Colorado to get it?

No, it was in Oklahoma.

Not a dang thing wrong with that one! I Love the 4 eyes! Looks like it's got a set of blue dial spicers on it too!

Thanks! I believe it may, I've never owned an early model 4x4 so I'm excited to try it out!

Be proud!

Very much so! Looking forward to learning some more about it from the SPID!

Very nice score

WarMonger · 11-11-2015, 12:35 PM

I think you need a matching mural on the hood to go along with the one on the glove box. But, that is a cool truck.

kingstrider · 11-11-2015, 12:52 PM

Nice truck!

**SoCoC10** · 11-11-2015, 07:49 PM

This is the truck I thought you bought! Here is its Chevy twin. http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/5311512533.html

72ChevyDLX · 11-12-2015, 02:01 PM

Thank you all! Not sure what size tire to put on it with the 4" lift. I'm thinking 33's but debating the 35's, just not sure how the rear end will hold up w/ 35's. @SoCo10, I can see how you'd think that, very similar looking!

**57taskforce** · 11-12-2015, 02:06 PM

My dad had a 71 k/10 with 38s back in the mid 90s and it got wheeled pretty good. He went thru a few clutches but never had a problem with the 12 bolt rear. If it's in good condition and maintained, it should be fine with 35s.

enigma · 11-12-2015, 02:49 PM

nice looking truck do like the shifter knobs

Okay, great, thank you for the advice!
