What do you think I should do?

[rs74]

I had a 63 K20 with 19,000 original miles and I sold it Feb.2010 for $4650. This was an old brush truck for the local fire department and had seen better days despite the miles on it. I am not sure what the original engine was but it blew up within two months of buying it new. Chevy sent them a new 283 to replace it. Don't think it came out with the 283 originally.

Okay, so I have been kicking myself in the rear for selling it but needed the money at the time. I just called the guy who bought it and was asking about it. He has done nothing to it except take the original lock ring rims off to put on another truck. He said he would sell it back to me for what he gave for it. I might be able to come up with the funds to buy it but it might take a while.

My delema here is that I have an 84 K30 running gear with a Dana 60 and 14 bolt dual rear end and all the suspension for it and have been wanting to build a one ton using a 60-66 truck. Would I be better off just keeping it a 3/4 ton or building a 1 ton.

Keep in mind this truck will need redone regardless. It had the typical lower fender rust areas and the wood in the bed was shot from the water tank that sits in it. Of course there may be more hidden rust elsewhere. It has the original step side bed on it minus the fenders. They took them off when new and put those utility boxes on the side. There are water lines that are run under the truck, has big extension bumpers and pumps on it that all would have to come off. But with only having 19,000 miles and all battered and bruised would I be in the wrong if I made it into a K30 dually? Here are a few pics of the truck. Not good pics but this will give you an idea the shape it was in when it left me in 2010. Sorry about my lifes story there.
