hi everybody,

just got recently to the truck world with my 1991 cheyenne pickup, could be translated to a 1985 c20 i guess, speaking of us- model terms...

here's a short list of what i'm planning to do (or what already was done):
  • radiator soldering -check
  • a/c refill and repair -check
  • 4bl quadrajet, no electronics -check
  • double exhaust with balls -check
  • oil, spark plugs and air filter -check
  • clean out left tank and use it (this baby has two 16 gallon tanks) -check
  • roll bar with some decent lights (4x100W)
  • rims and tires (8x15 with 10.5x31)
  • interior works (seats, dash, etc.)
  • and many other stuff i can't think of right now...

i really love this truck, tried to publish a pic, but somehow it didn't work. you may find it attached though...


funny thing that happened last week was that shifting to reverse i burned the cable that goes to the back up lights because of missing insulation and the resulting short circuit, including fuse and everything. had to pull it completely new and changed the neutral safety switch, since i was in there  :)

so then, thanks for reading and any comments are very welcome!
