      You know, it's funny....when I was a kid back when these trucks were new, that color scheme was what the old farts would spec and order. Now that I'm a little older, I really like that color scheme!

    nice truck, I got a 79 K20 sitting in my back yard with a blown 350. I got a 73 454 that I am going to put in soon

    I swear to God everyone of these has the startup squeak. It's like a badge of honor.

      ProSTEEL RAIN it’s caused by the high initial load on the alternator when the engine starts after an extended crank. New belts would probably help.

    just picked up a 1978 Chevy Cheyenne K20 camper special as my first truck. Sadly not a 454, but a 350 will do.

    I used to have a 76 near identical. Camper special, full time 4x4, 350. Cheyenne trim. Loved that color. Called er the pumpkin truck.

    This is my dream truck, I'd vent the exhaust right out the hood so I could hear that 454 scream
