Sooo I just picked up my new beast yesterday for $900. I am sure I will have a lot of questions but here is what I know. It's a 3/4 ton with a rebuilt 1986 350 4 barrel. She screams at 50 mph so I am thinking bigger tires are in order. She runs like a champ so I figured for the price how could I go wrong. He through in extra parts including a brand new Eldelbrock carb, all new glass, and an exhaust, . It was a daily driver so she seems to be very relieable.
Other good things I liked - Brand new exhaust (but it's straight pipes so she pops when downshifting), all new brake lines, all new fuel lines, new battery, new motor mounts, newer clutch (peddle seems hight).........she was loved......Probably spend all her life in this area as I checked the VIN and she was made in Tarrytown NY which is only about 50 minutes from here.
Frame was painted with POR13 and appears to be very solid. I am trying deciding if I should drive it as is or let my close friend who owns a hot rod shop do some budget body work on her. The current paint job is roll on Rustoliam.
