TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
Thanks guys. I passed on the 1984. I did find a 1986 that has a new crate 305 engine and th350. It was painted last year, although it wasn’t the greatest paint job with orange peel. I could not find any rust except a tiny bit in the front inner fender well. I drove it today and everything works great. Drove very straight. The only issues i found were the steering wheel needed aligned and the speedo cable made noise. The speed was also off on the speedometer according to the owner. It drives really straight and i found no mechanical issues at all besides the above mentioned. It has a huge list of new parts, but will need about $1000 in cosmetics to get it to where I want it to be currently...excluding paint. He is asking $7500. I wish I would of took pictures to post on here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's a nice ride man! Did they paint the trim and door panels black? My '78 came with red interior. The door panels were badly faded as were the kick panels.I found a automotive rattle can paint that matched real close, want to say 'colonial' red, or something like that. Very please with the uplift, looked factory new. I also used silver metallic wheel paint on the rims, and the non-chromed part of the hub cap. If you choose to do so, just make sure all surfaces are 'really' clean... but you know that, right? Please post more pics, and finally, I think that's a good price. I paid 9K for my K10. All she needed was some love and soap.
Did you ask the guy where he found a "crate 305", because I've never seen one advertised. All the GM crate engines are 350 or 383, and I don't think ATK or any other crate motors use the 305. If its not a crate engine, then you should find out who really built the engine.Bruce

I like the TH350, but you should ask what truck it came out of.Bruce
