My 1980 250ci powered Silverado

Hi there! Remember me from http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=18722.0 ?

Today I mocked up my new wheels for my truck... they are 265-70-16 in 16"x9" Wheels...

I had lots of issues with this truck... all of them fault of the previous owner... very cheap bad repairs... but love is growing...

Some pics! Hope you like!

Looks good! I'd love to have another inline 6 with a manual trans.

     At least you can say you did the work when you are done.  It is looking nice at least from the pics.

Not sure I would have done all that, but I admire your dedication to your doors!

Lookin' good.  Nothing more satisfying than doing the job yourself.

I didn't realize the 250 six was still available back then in those trucks.  All I've observed over the years was the 292 six in the '73 and newer vehicles.  But I still like the 250.  I drove a company panel truck w/ the 250 for a summer back in '65.  Lots of torque. 

Keep up the good work.
