Hello from KS! First post here...

Thought I'd say hello to everyone. This site has been a great help to me. I've been reading here (I read nearly every post before "search" finally showed up ) for nearly two months.
I'd been wanting a 73-87 for several years and had been looking hard for about 8 months when I stumbled onto this truck. It's an 85 swb, a/c cab, power windows & locks. It has a rebuilt 355sbc, rebuilt m22 muncie, 3.42 rear, longtube headers & dual 2.5" flowmaster exhaust, and edelbrock 1405 carb. The entire drivetrain has 6k miles on it. It was originally a 305/700r4. It's got a cam, but no idea what specs--can just barely tell it's there at 750rpm. I have all the receipts from the engine and transmission rebuild as well as many other parts the PO bought. The entire front brake system is new including master cylinder & lines. Since I bought it and with some help from this site I've done the following: All new e-brake parts, restored the rallye wheels, buffed the paint a bit, mostly new (junk yard) dash w/autometer gauges & aftermarket stereo/speakers, new waterpump, and did all the normal maintenance. I STOLE THIS TRUCK FOR $1500!!! I guess the guy must have been desperate for cash, as he only had it for 8 months. I've been daily-driving it since mid-september and I LOVE it!! Here's a few pics, hope they work.
