Howdy from So. Cal.
« on: January 21, 2018, 12:58:08 AM »
Just checking in from the desert of south Eastern California. Recently purchased a 1985 K10 Silverado.

Came stock with a 305/TH400/NP208

Only thing different is the motor was swapped with a 350. Other than that, she’s stock...  Well, the 350 has an RV cam in it, but that’s it.

Anyways, I’ve already swapped in a reman Quadrajet and what a difference that made...

I still have to resolve a few other issues to resolve...

1. NP208 wont go into low-4
2. Transmission leaks
3. Seat needs recovered
4. Electric Choke (female) plug is broken
5. AC needs to be reinstalled
6. Want to install a bigger radiator
7. And a trans cooler
8. Needs tires

Still, I hope to have her on the road in a month or less. Hopefully in time for the spring thaw and a few good early trails.

I hope to be able to reach out for help as I may need it. And of course, if I can help, I’ll be sure to chime in. Thanks!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
