Ok well like the first post I have too moved from the S-10 world to the full size life. I'm 29 and have been wrenching for as long as I can remember. my last money pit was an 87 ext cab S-10 that I converted about 6 years ago to a 420hp small block with a list it of mods that would take me allnight to list. After doing a burnout in second gear about three months ago with 8000lbs on a trailer behind me and destroying my entire drivetrain including riping the floor wide open with flying metal I retired the truck to thejunk yard and went on the look for an 73-87 full size. I found one about 3 weeks ago. A sweet 84 silverado that was 100% stock. (was) This thing had everything inlcluding factory A/C that worked. The body is awesome. Power windows and locks work. 4x4 works. came stock with quad shocks etc. Very nice truck. I have since replaced stock 305 with healthy 350 I built and replaced stock 700r4 witn one my good friend friend built for me which includes racing servo, extra clutch packs, manual valve body and 3500 stall 10inch converter. I have changed thegears to 4.56 and replaced the rubber with 35 12.50's. Lifted it 2 inches and will keep plugging along til I have it where I want it. I love the truck. Already mounted new Hot Rod Air A/C compresser and now working on finding new shocks and getting brakes to work correct. I look forward to learning from you guys.
I will post often and thanks for having me.
Just-speed
