I got to quit looking at Craigslist for deals...
« on: August 20, 2013, 07:58:32 pm »
Another one followed me home.  I picked up a very decent almost rust free 85 C10.  Haven't run the numbers on the engine but it runs good and is dressed up some with an aluminum intake, valve covers.  It has headers that look new and a complete flow master exhaust system.  4 new BFG 31's LT radials.  The bed is rustfree as much as I can tell.  Once I figure how to get the pictures from my camera to the new computer I will post em up.  Originally a 4.3L 3 on the tree.  Reverse is out of what I believe is a TH350.  That one makes a half dozen...

     Gotta say zieg, it is only a problem when others say it, we can never have enough trucks.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Well it was interesting this AM when my wife discovered another gem in the backyard...  I drug it out playing dumb...easy as it comes very natural for me.  She asked me how much several times and I kept eluding the answer.  Told her my plans for it and what I paid, she said cool and dropped the inquisition.

     The ever so understanding wife, if you are lucky enough to be paired with one you thank the lucky stars everyday.
