Re: Newbie, Buying my first. 72 GMC K20

Nothing like the thrill of your first vehicle and you got a classic no less, even more exciting.
Congrats on finally making it the few mi. Home.

I think alot of us guys been watching this thread and waiting rite along with you, a few of us probably would have pushed it home by now

My oldest boy was 15 when we drug home his 67 short fleet.
It took us 3 years before getting it safe, legal and road worthy.
He washed dishes and scrubbed toilets at a restaurant for 2 1/2 yrs and put almost every penny he made into it of course alot of the bigger ticket items(motor,wheels, were either Christmas or b day gifts.
But in the end he still ended up with a $400 s10 dd that he also fell in love with.
But he did get too drive the 67 too his prom and graduation.
And he is still whooping on it now that he is 26.

Time and patience pays off, just don't lose track of your dream.

For now it looks as if you have alot of cleaning up to do.
A pressure washer sure comes in handy with that.

Just be extra carefull of what you do to it now ya might regret a wrong move one day.

And just to let you know we are all glad to see you finally get it home.
