Back to being square!

[erikgto]

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!
