Title: 1986 Chevrolet K10 "Re-Freshening"
Post by: OneBadBowtie on July 27, 2012, 05:47:15 pm: Just bought this earlier this week guys, pretty much stole it from the guy, only paid $1600 for it lol. The body is great not a spot of rust on the truck, and paint is still nice. The engine does need a little attending to, seems to be lacking on power, and it wants to "cut out" when i stomp on it and get into the higher RPM, maybe a fuel filter? Also needs gears, tachs 3000 at 50 MPH. I have a few plans here and there and she will be a nice truck. Also, does anyone know of any good driveshaft shops because this truck was converted from a 4 speed manual to a TH350, and now the front driveshaft is too long, i guess when the swap was done the transfer case got moved? I'm not sure. Anyway tell me what you guys think here's a few pics for now, ill post more as this thread progresses.:cool:
