1983 C20 For Sale (New England)
 

I need to sell my 1983 C20. I'm pricing it as a parts truck, but I was using it as a daily driver (for about a year) up until a few months ago when I got a YAT (Yet AnotherTruck).

1983 Chevy C20 Longbed Fleetside
5.0L 4BBL 4SPD Manual (SM465) (aka 'Granny Gear')
Some new parts, lots of old parts, some unidentified parts.

Someone gimme a hand: I actually need to sell this truck so that I can have the room to pull out the parts of _another_ truck (1970 C10 SBSS) so I can sell that one, too. Ain't havin kids grand?

Actually, it's a C20, not a C30.
Still for sale, just $400.

Actually a C20
 

Since the replies I've had have all asked the same thing:

The engine runs OK, but I wouldn't call it 'great'. Truck starts and runs ok. It idles a little rough. Under normal driving conditions, it runs OK. If you rev the engine out of gear, there is some popping. If you were to floor it for a few seconds and lift suddenly (like when you change gears 2-3), you can sometimes get a pretty good backfire out of it.

I'm almost certain it's the carb. The truck comes with a spare one, but it sat on a shelf for years and needs to be rebuilt too. However, since the truck has around 150K on it, and it was definitely a tow vehicle at some point, if I were to keep the truck I would probably start looking for a used replacement motor.

I know, honesty will kill me some day. I'd make a really crappy used car salesman.

It's a shame, because I just gave away a pretty good 60K mile 305 because it was in a (Nova) chassis I was selling.

Now that I've thoroughly discouraged everybody, any takers? :)

Last bump before it goes on ebay...
