Morning, everyone!
I posted this over at the Welcome page, they suggested I cross post it here, too. This weekend I found a 1966 K20 with a High Torque 292 for sale down the street, I didn't know I needed it until I saw it. It's not perfect, but it looks better than a lot of older trucks I've seen. It apparently used to be a fire department brush truck in its former life. It has a winch on the brush bumper that runs off a PTO, which is probably one of the cooler things I've seen (haven't tested if it works)
I'll post photos when I can, but I'm hoping to get some advice on what to look for before buying. The goal would be to have a nice, classic looking truck, that I don't mind actually using as a truck. Maybe tow a small boat if it's up for it. I've got a long list of things I want to check out that I've compiled off the various sites, but anyone have anything specific I should look for?
Any advice you experts are willing to share with a hopeful new buyer, or if anyone near BWI (in Maryland) would be willing to trade their time and knowledge for a 6 pack, I'd sincerely appreciate it. I hope to keep learning from this community and if I get the truck, start giving back, too!
Thanks,
-Kevin
