My truck. It has sentimental value as my first car. I just gone done with the water pump and I just solved my steering "pop" issue. Next up is a new steering wheel as the old one is gross and sticky. While I'm at it I'm going to install a new turn signal/wiper control lever and fix the turn signal auto-off spring.

Cool! What's yours? I just found a 1984 Chevy Scottsdale for my kid. It was my first vehicle and now he'll have one too.

It's a sneaky way for me to limit his time tearing around the countryside with friends, because all his money will go towards parts and (if I get my way and put in a much larger engine) gas.

Believe it or not, it's an 1984 K10 Scottsdale with the 6.2L Detroit Diesel. It was also my first car. Small world.
