My son just bought a 1985 K5 with the diesel. 42,000 miles on it. Bought it off a collector that was a retired motorpool guy in the Army.
Brand new tires on it. Did the video walk around and for a former National Guard Commo truck - it's very straight and 100% rust free. Some seat tears but that's easy enough. Got the full spare, crank down rear window, blackout light etc.
He's going to run Rotella and Wix with a fuel additive for lubricity.
How tough are these things? Anything super special he should know about? It's not his daily - mostly for fishing around the base and back roads of Georgia.
