Hello to all.
I am glad to have found a 73-87 only chevy truck forum, as my Dad and I were always fond of this body style and have owned many. However only one was really mine. My 84 C10 SWB was a gift from my dad when I was 16. We restored it together. New black paint, rebuilt 305, and a going through of the rest of the stuff on the truck, but not a full resto.
When I was 21 him and I put a 402 in place of the 305. A few months later, it was stilen. Luckily I got the truck back a week and a half later, but no more big block. Surprisingly the theives left the body intact. However since they stole my wheels and dumped the truck on a city street in detroit, there is some minor damage from being winched up on the rollback.
That was 3 and a half years ago, and I finally have it running and moving under its own power curtousy of 427 cubic inches of all iron big block built by my late Dad. Still some things left to do, and I will be posting in the parts sectoin for some things I need. I live in the rust belt and certian parts will be hard to come by up here in michigan. Nice to meet you guys.
