When people try the "point out flaws" tactic on me I end the conversation with "I guess you don't like it" and turn away. If I wanted to sell I'd say, "Won't affect the price". If at first look they see it, don't they think I have?

I had a paving contractor ask if for sale while at work on a house. I said, "This one is my keeper". He has no idea all the K/20s I've had or where I'm at in life. He said, "If I had that truck I'd restore it and it would never see a day of work". I said, "Been there done that. I'm enjoying this one".

Best original with this shorty and have done over 10 or 12 (not including a few 1/2Ts) in the last 40 years

I intentionally loaded it tail-end heavy for the hundred or so mile trip (incl. over two mountains) to help mate better with trailer. The hitch is in the Bartens bumper above the receiver, and I can't get a wrench on the nut.

I mostly enjoy taking nice and mellow country back road drives in it going where I have to go, doing what I need to do. Just like back in '72! (when I was a kid driving a bug)
