Re: My 85 C10
Well first is to get it sitting like I want rebuild the whole front end everything is still original now with 235,000 miles on her. Then working on the interior thinking of going back to all Charcoal inside. Have added bucket seats and a console from an 83 blazer. Have a rebuilt 350 now with about 80,000 think of building a 383 or buying a crate stroker not sure yet.
More to come Bruce Meridianville,Al. |

Re: My 85 C10
Mine is a 1-owner. Daddy bought it new off-the-lot in April of '80. Still in his name.
Welcome to the board, and I like that color blue/black. Its pretty cool looking, and I'm not even a fan of zigzag line thingies.
