Fresh Off The Farm.
Picked up a my first square last Wednesday. I've been wanting to buy one for a couple years now to use as my daily driver, but nothing ever caught my eye. Well I went to look a some equipment for sale and saw this parked next to the barn. I asked if he would be willing to sale it, I think I surprised him that anyone would want it. He made a call to his grandfather, Who happened to be the original owner, we stuck up a deal and now I have a 1983 Silverado. I guess the vent window got broke sometime ago as the interior is completely tore up. Now the fun begins to get another old truck back on the road.

Re: Fresh Off The Farm.
Cool little diesel. I'm excited to see what you do with it. It looks to be fairly loaded from the factory.
