    Default 1983 k10 lwb 6.2

    Good afternoon. I am new to the site and looking to get some info. I am looking for an older truck and have come across one that I like a lot. It is an 83 C model 6.2. It had the glow plugs replaced last June, starter and alternator at the same time. It was switched from mechanical to electronic fuel pump in july of last year. Has a new 700R4 and new brakes and so forth and so on. It will be my daily driver 55 miles to work and back every day. Is it worth the 3500 asking price? Body is in great shape compared to my old blazer and gas k10. I think i can get it down some but as far as the engine goes what do you think? has over 200k on it.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I just picked up a ’94 GMC Yukon with about 208K on the 6.5. With what you’ve listed and no other knowledge, it sounds like a good start.

    The price seems too steep to me, but then again I live in Alaska where there's been a plethera of 6.2 powered trucks running around that used to be used on the North Slope oil fields. They can be had in varying conditions, with tons of hours.


    I picked my my 82 K20 for $1000 last summer.
    05 2500HD CC LB LLY, 4x4, 3.73s 235/85R16's, webasto cab heater, to keep it warm.
    03 Buick Rendezvous - When you average over 80 miles per day driving around, you need one of these.
    85 K-5, 6.2, SM465, Rockwell T221, 1 tons, 36's. More goodies to be installed as time and money allows.
    82 K20, 6.2, SM465, NP208, stock except for bed rack, snow plow, and glow plugs are on a toggle switch. It works great for plowing!
