Meet Old Blue

[mvfd70]

Old Blue as she is affectionately known around our house is a 1978 K20. My father in law purchased Blue brand new in '78 and passed her on to us when we got married. That was 10 years ago. She ran for a while, although not well, then got parked about 7 years ago because she quit all together. After a lot of snow last winter I decided I wanted a four wheel drive for this year and set about to tackle the challenge of getting Blue back on the road. A little oil in the cylinders, a new ignition system (including distributor), all fluids changed and a new battery and she fired right up and has been running great. I replaced the heater core last week and I'm toasty warm inside now. (Although it was 60 degrees here today) She ain't real pretty to look at but I call her my "beater with a heater."
