Re: Old member, new truck
The body looks to be in decent shape. How good is the LS swap, and what are your plans for the truck?

LS swap is good, has a strong running cammed motor. I dont plan on doing much other than a small amount of interior work. It's gonna be a driver.

Sold a pretty nice 82 C10 SWB for $8500 back in early 2021. Probably worth $15k-$20k today.
