That's my only hangup is not knowing if it was done properly or not.

It just had its first engine rebuild and is still a fricken beast! Almost the exact same look too!!

Yeah, I try to remind my self that it's not a daily driver, but just a beater.


Of course I've got this one on my mind when I see another "true" K30 show up in another ad.

It's an '86 model, BB, 4-spd, Dana 60/14-bolt axles, etc.... Currently waiting on Vin confirmation and more pics. It's further away, but a cheaper price.
