Title: New from Texas
Post by: jimbo on August 07, 2009, 12:09:25 pm
New from near Dallas TX.  I got linked to this site for its wealth of knowledge, and checking the tech forum I would definitley agree.
My truck is a 1985 Silverado lwb single cab.  128k original miles, Midnight blue and silver original paint that has never seen a dent, and the 305 has never been out from under the hood, or even tinkered with.  Even the original four speakers and cassette stereo sound good.

I don't have any pics yet, as it is a new acquisition, and its not going to win any beauty pageants.  I'll try to take pics this weekend.  Also, I'm currently looking to cure a few aging issues it has.  It has cracks in the dashpad and the silver in the two tone is in sad shape.

Thanks, she could use some touching up, but overall I'm very happy with it.  With so much of it being untouched, It's a bit like a time machine driving it, and that tickles my nostalgic side.
