Hey everyone this is my first truck i bought a few days ago. Its a 84 chevy stepside with a 350sb with dual cherry bomb glasspacks and 2" drop spindles in the front and cut coils in the rear. The guy i bought it from didnt tell me much so thats all i know. Tell me what you all think.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 06-08-2008, 11:16 PM

I think thats a pretty sweet looking truck what do you have planned for it?

84step · 06-08-2008, 11:19 PM

Well after I pay it off haha plan on first getting a new carb maybe a new intake manifold. then billet grille,hood scoop, and rims and other accessories

Cut coils in the REAR? Unless the suspension was changed, you should have leaf springs back there.

Nice looking truck though!

84step · 06-08-2008, 11:36 PM

oops ha my bad i just remember the guy telling me that there were cut coils.. but your right there are leaf springs

Walts_restoration · 06-08-2008, 11:46 PM

non ac too, nice truck. Probably cut coils up front and removed leafs in the rear. cheap and easy way.

Cool truck, great find. Hope it serves you well!

gchemist · 06-09-2008, 08:47 PM

Nice find. I see a few changes have been made to it.

84step · 06-09-2008, 08:50 PM

Yeah as far as I know all thas been done is lowered after market exhaust and paint job which is 3 years old.
Also does anyone know what exactly those hoses on the left of the engine are for? I kinda want to get rid of as much of those as I can to clean it up.

Those are heater hoses. I have a feeling you're gonna need them.

I thought duals and cherry bombs were the stock exhaust on these trucks!

You can do a heckuva job cleaning that engine bay, hoses and all. It looks to be in decent shape. Try some brushes, soap, steel wool and elbow grease. You'll be surprised how good it can look. All it really costs is time.

Welcome to the board and congrats on your find!

84step · 06-10-2008, 12:11 AM

84step · 06-10-2008, 11:33 PM

another question, the guy I bought the truck from told me that it takes a long time to warm up when the air filter that is on it is on, I was wondering is this because that the air filter is too big,dirty or other reasons?

the factory air cleaner assembly had a heat riser coming off the exhaust to help warm the engine up. your new air cleaner only takes in that cold B.C. air when it first starts
