Title: check out what i bought
Post by: jay6776 on March 10, 2009, 09:29:14 pm
Dumb me cracked my windshield and sand blasted both door glasses. (don't ask lol) so found this 86 pretty much same price as the glass would have cost me. Going to use the glass,all the inside plastic, tilt steering.
The guy told me it had a 350 he was wrong has the 305 with a bad knock . But might keep the trans for my TA.

Have to love craigs list. Was a collage guys truck and he need the money. Just think some one was trying to talk him down on his price. I told him I will meet with you now and buy the truck not seeing it. Guess that work ,
I do wish it had the 350 that was kind of a bummer was going to rebuild it and put it in the TA. Nothing better  than a chevy 350 motor in a pontiac lol
later jay

If you are not going to use the dual tank wiring and switch, I sure would like the factory wiring for mine.  My uncle who was the original owner cobbled a toggle switch in the dash.  I could use the passenger side tank as well.

Good score on the parts truck. I might be interested in the steering box. I'm gonna convert mine to cross over steering and need a 2 wheel drive box. Let me know, thanks.

When I had my 4 parts trucks I gave a lot away to folks in need.  When you are on a shoestring budget every little bit helps.  If the weather ever warms again I am going to look at a 4 door dually with a 454 4 speed not 8 miles from me.

I wish i was on a shoestring budget lol I might be done with the truck all ready..There are alot of these trucks around here. On my way to work there is a pretty nice short bed 4x4 lifted to the sky big ol wheels for sale.. Not even going to stop and look at it cuz I know i will want to buy it .

hey zieg85 if you take that tank and wiring the truck will not run than right?  If so might have to wait till next weekend if thats cool

It will run off the left side but I am in no hurry.  My right tank is beat up and hasn't worked since I got her.  I would rather wait till it warms up anyway but don't want to loose out.  Just let me know, Thanks

That looks like a good score!  The grill, bumper and fenders look fairly decent.  Shame about it being a 305 V8 though...  :(

ahh the fenders and hood are ok. The fenders are after market  but they are in good shape. The grill is busted up and the bumpers are junk.
