hey there folks.

i've been lurking around the boards for a month or so now. just picked up an 82 chev custom deluxe. I6 3 on the floor.

so far it's caused me a little grief but i'm optimistic for the long term objective.

on the way home from the PO's house the 3 speed shifter jammed up and the truck had to be towed the remaining 6 miles home. since then, the steering column locked up and the key couldn't turn it over. (it was smooth as pebble plucked from a stream and slimmer than a license plate). i got a replacement ignition switch but haven't put it in yet.

plans include: 18-20" wheels with 5/7 static drop, paint and body, buckets and console, 350 swap etc etc $$$$. in the order actually.

happy to be here, this place is a wealth of knowlege.
