Title: Hello from Maine
Post by: bladerunner on July 26, 2011, 05:36:40 pm

Hi all, new member here hailing from Bangor, Maine.

Just last Saturday I picked up my new to me 85 K10 shortbed.

(http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab289/bladerunner1337/IMG_20110717_124701.jpg)

She has a recently rebuilt 350 and rebuilt 700r4, dual Flowmasters, cowl induction hood sitting on 32s.  All her body panels were recently replaced along with new gas tanks, new front and rear bumpers, spray on bedliner. I think that is everything.

She does need some work to be inspected, namely a rebuild to the steering column, rear drums, power locks and windows fixed, headlights only partially work (haven't investigated that one enough to know what the problem is) passenger side fill pipe needs to replaced and converters.  I really don't want converters, but I have yet to find a shop that will inspect her without 'em. I might keep looking  ;)

The front shocks could use replacing along with new tires.  The interior is rather rough too, but that will wait until next year. Here are a few more pics:

Thanks beastie.

Yeah, a lot of troops first stop back in the states is in Bangor, something us locals are proud of. But yeah, it is cold.  Truthfully this 90 degree+ weather gets to me. Give me a frosty day and I am happy as a clam. ;D
