Back to being square!
Hi folks!
Just want to let you guys know that I'm back in the squarebody world. I had a really nice customized '80 stepside Silverado with a 455 Olds bigblock. Sold it 2 years ago. But the itch for a squarebody kept getting stronger. Since I like the ShortWides a tad more than the Steppers I've finally found my new toy. With a '70 GTO convertible about to go frame-off and a low mile original '81 Trans Am WS6 t-top summertime cruiser I wanted a rustfree squarebody swb as a semi daily driver / fun vehicle. Nothing too fancy, but nice enough not to be embarassed with it. Well, just before christmas I found "my" C10... It's a pretty basic '81 C10 swb 305 4bbl 150 horse with TH350 trans. Options as far as I can tell (without the RPO sticker......it's M.I.A.) are; A/C, sport mirrors, sport bumpers, power brakes.....and I think nothing else. Most important to me: It appears to be a very solid rust free California resident from Rio Linda, Ca (between Sacramento and Reno) Paint looks nice, but it's a cheapo job it, a lot of orange skin, maybe some wetsanding can improve it's current condition. Needs some small electrical and mechanical issues taken care off, but I'm happy with it. Already ordered a set of 18x8 and 18x9,5 Boss 338 wheels with grey centers for it The 20's on one of the pics are not mine...they're loaners from my buddy. Got a lot of work ahead, but I'm really glad to be back in the game! Last edited by erikgto; 01-14-2009 at 06:34 PM. |
