Hey guys, New member possibly about to purchase my first chevy
 

Hey guys, I have never been a chevy guy and I have never owned one but have always respected them. I have a background of drag racing and playing with street cars (mostly all mustangs) and have always been a car guy. Having been maried now for 7yrs with 2 small kids I have been kinda out of the car game for a while. I sold a 02 ram recently and figured I would buy myself a older vehicle I could get cheap and possibly fix up a little. I have been looking at buying a older ford truck but wasn't really finding many that caught my attention.

A close buddy of mine let me borrow his 84 c10 swb for a short period while I was moving and I really enjoyed driving the old truck. That paticular truck was a blast to drive having a zz4 crate engine and th350 with a converter. I was talking to him one day and he started telling me his uncle had a 1986 swb 2wd c10 that he had mentioned selling so I went and checked it out and was plesantly surprised to find a pretty clean one owner silverado that just needs some minor tlc to be a real nice truck for the measly sum of $1800. It has a 305/th350 with long tube headers edelbrock intake and holley 600 on it. Needless to say this will be my truck pretty soon.

Thanks guys....lucky thing is that isn't really being advertised as for sale. I am the only person that's looked at it.

I am not a fan of the visor or the fiberglassed on front air dam but the truck is in such good shape I can't pass it up.

Alright guys, I got the truck and have been driving it for a week now. I really like it but the 305 is weak at best. I am having to work out some bugs since it's been sitting so long. The motor fires up almost instantly but makes a loud knocking noise when in park but as soon as its under load in gear the noise goes away. I am thinking its a broken flywheel. I also have no tailights but all the other lights work perfectly including rear turn signals and brake lights. I am not sure where to start.
