pwradder's new ride, '80 swb silverado
the crew cab was getting a bit expensive to run at about $100 a week back and forth to work, so i decided a little more fuel economy was in order. since i refuse to be crammed into some rice burning econo-box, this is my alternative. now keep in mind this is a before picture i know its rough-but i have done more with less before, so its in good hands. as i get rolling on it with some pics and progress i'll set up a build thread, but for now-the specs:
original 350 with a 700r4 trans, a/c, p/w, p/l, p/b, p/s, tilt, cruise, dual tanks, factory slider, am/fm, cab lights and full trim package(shaved by p.o), 133k mile north carolina truck i bought last week with a blown up th350. plans for now are: body work and paint-might do the same color combo as my crew cab as a mini-me, 2'' lower all around, 4'' cowl hood, window tint, possibly wheels (cragers?), swap to the 73-79 heablights and bezels, long tube headers, edelbrock intake, holley carb, flowmaster exhaust. i probably wont stop here, we'll see how much i can hold back lol. thoughts and opinions welcome.
