Re: Any Olds 5.7 diesels out there in operation?

i have a custom combiner buddy whose shop truck is a 79 c-10 w/ a 5.7 Diesel. it has over 200K on it, but he put a 42K motor in it out of a wrecked Olds 98 of one of his cutting customers a few years back. its a cool truck and I try to buy it every time i see him. i'll see him in February and will try to snap a pic.

"...easier to put my gun in the console than it is to put it in the glove box..."

On second thought, I would probably return your truck.

the problem with that is I'm 5'6"...that's a long noticeable stretch to put it in the glove box if I get pulled over...
