1973 K20 Custom Deluxe

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to formally introduce myself and my truck. I purchased my 1973 K20 off ebay in September 2010. I won't go into all the details as I have a build thread in the 4X4 section for that, but I built it all in my driveway with only hand tools. Future plans are an LS conversion, and at this point I don't have plans to fix the body/rust. The vision that I had in my mind of what I wanted the truck to look like even before I bought it is exactly how it looks now. I took a break from the site for a while, but have been driving the truck to iron out any issues that I'd like to improve.

Here are a few pics...

You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville.

Woah, back from the dead....unless you've been hanging out in the 4x4 part. Followed your build thread until I guess it was moved or something cause it disappeared.
