When I bought it, it was shit brown so I took it to Maaco and got it painted black for around $800. I think the paint job turned out great and was well worth it.
Nice pickup! My rig is a sh*t brown '98 S-10 Blazer, but it goes as fast as I can get away with on the interstate and everything works despite its 279,000 miles. I'm hoping it will be my first vehicle that I take to 300,000 miles.
That K5 is badass! I'm not sure what I get for mpg with my '84, but I'm guessing around 12. I also got a '99 Silverado that you can see in the background, but I'm trying to get rid of that soon to get a new toy.
Mine was a 72 K5 Blazer. What a pain.
Did end up with over 200,000.
On my drive about last week. Empty box HD 3/4 ton diesel Chev. I got 21.9 on the trip. Lots of side roads and seldom over 65 MPH. Sometimes a nice tail wind.:thumbsup:
First time with Synthetic motor oil. Would that help on fuel economy?
Had to sell one of my trucks, not the '84, to buy an SUV for the family. Still haven't done much work on the K10, but Harley is about ready for the summer. :thumbsup:
