Title: Howdy from So. Cal.
Post by: Patman 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!
