81 c10
« on: November 19, 2015, 04:07:34 pm »
Hello everybody kinda new to the forum.Just picked her up last week. Done a little trading .it's a swb with a hoped up 327.gears 308s for the highway and a high stall.headers dulas with flows.sounds nice with that big cam
.only thang I don't like is the oil pressure is a little on the low side but it runs great .besides the guy I got it of of failed to mention the flexplate had a low spot.got her home and she wouldn't crank back. But  I will  fix that next weekend with a new flexplat and starter. Plan is to fix her up and driver her everday.has a little rust but not  to bad.gotta fix a leak coming into the cab. It's leaking right down in the drivers kick panel area.has a little rust through there.the only pics I got is the ones i got is the ones off the guy I got it from.

I typically use photobucket because its easy and I don't have to keep them all on my phone going up needed space. On and it has an app like everything else in the world.

Lookin good. Enjoy the site. There's not much here that hasn't been covered by some topic. Just remember when you use Tue search function one of the places(I do believe it is the author) has an '*' in it. Just delete that be for you search and you can find anything.

Thank your sir.

Thankin bout yanking the the 327 out and throwing the plain Jane gm 350 crate  in it and a new carb after I save the money up . It's a old motor. Kinda Low oil pressure and the thumping cam and flows right under the bed sounds like it gonna knock the back window out haha
Just to much for everyday and I have to 2 foot it at a red light. Big cam & factory torque convertor  does not mix

I ain't posted on here in a while. I've got a lot done to it. I've lost track what I'll I've done to it here and there.ive got a 305 in it and edelbrock 500 carb.im in the process of lowering it some . Not a whole lot cuz it gets used as a truck and my daily driver.i also gave it a quick spray with rustoleum flat black out of a rattle can. I've rebuilt the rear drums.i put carpet in it.new seat belts,painted the door panels. I'm gonna replace them when tax time comes. Also got a set of rally's painted that are waiting for some new rubber. I need to put a new intake on it and new headers. But here's pictures afteri painted it before being lowered.
