noob from MA
« on: January 06, 2009, 04:20:13 pm »
hey guys, just saying hi and introdcing myself to the group.   from South eastern mass, born and raised.  i've always been a fan of chevy's and have owned one since i was 14, except it was a gmc.
 found this site during a search for some info on  my recent purchase:  a 1982 chevy K-10 Single cab, short bed.   since it came home i've been fixing things here and there with it. (it had sat for 3 years before i acquired it, before that it was a plow truck, but originated and resided in phoenix from 82-98)
 I found out the previous owner swapped in a 350 small block with a th350 tranny behind it.   a nice find considering i thought it had  305 (as the glovebox says) 
so far i have had to replace all the brake lines, wheel cylinders, and calipers, installed a new flowmaster exhaust (temporarily till i get headers), windshield wipers, new starter solenoid, new fuel lines, and the other usual stuff (battery cables, battery, cap and rotor) once the warmer weather rolls around i will start on some of the body work. it only needs rocker panels and some minor door rot repair to be mint. 
sorry for the long intro and looking forward to the help and advice!

Welcome to the site!  You want to split off the question and move it to the appropriate forum?  Or do you want your answers here?

We got 3" of snow, then sleet, then freezing rain, then rain, then about 2" more snow. Just got back from plowing, about 9 hours.
