    Anyone else jealous of the size of this guy's garage? Also, there is no chance I would take the cash if I win. I'd fly in and have an epic road trip home, probably stopping at every off-road opportunity I could find. My work would just have to wait.

    My daily is a 1983 Burb K20 with the Detroit 6.2. It’s a blast and I’m in the process of turbocharging it with the components from a 6.5. It’s not a monster, but it is mine! This build though is the dream for me. Looking forward to seeing it go to someone!… I wouldn’t mind taking it home either!

    I have a 1976 chevy suburban K20 with a dana 44 front and the big freefloat 14 bolt in the back. It's a California truck that had a couple small rust throughs but the rest is solid with some patina. I live on my SSI so I can't afford to restore it completely like I would like but I do love driving it to my DR. appts.I get a lot of thumbs up and nice truck comments. I sure wouldn't mind winning your's and selling this one.

      I'm a certified inspector and we have emissions testing here in central Texas, but emissions testing isn't done on vehicles older than 25 years anywhere in Texas, so I don't know for sure, but I assume most places with emissions testing have some exceptions for older vehicles.

      @joshuaglens0293 Рік тому +1

      As long as the truck was equipped as a 3/4 or 1 ton and/or came with a diesel engine from factory, swaps are legal as long as the engine is newer than the vehicle year it is going into. Since the 6.2 was a factory option, any 12v swap newer than the vehicle year would be legal. And no emissions testing is a huge bonus being pre-98👍
