81 C20 - Howdy from Texas
We bought this truck last week for 1300.00. It is a 1981 C20 2WD 350/350 Camper Special w/ 115,200K on the odometer (I guess it could have more but no reason to doubt the guy we bought it from).
What I know about the truck is that it originally had a 454, it currently has a GM Goodwrench 350, there was a fire in the engine compartment, and there is a ton of things to do to the truck. What has been done so far: New fuel filter New seal for trans output shaft (correct terminology?) Distributor cap Rotor Plugs Edelbrock carb thoroughly cleaned and adjused Oil Change About 8 miles of various wiring gutted from engine bay and from under dash. Wires melted together and scorch marks are why I say it has had a fire. Our plans...fix it up. We plan for it to take about 5 years to do everything we want to do. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...psa4d6a027.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...psb467187c.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps146e64b7.jpg I'll start a build thread so our progress can be tracked. Thanks, GM |

Thanks.
It will be a family project truck with my wife and our two sons (elementary age) working on it over the next few years, we are guesstimating 5 years to have it "perfect" to us. The Pyrenees wasted no time hopping into the bed and declaring it his property :D . |

Thanks for the replies. The dog is a 150+ lb Great Pyrenees that is the security system for the truck :) .
