Bill's 1986 C!0 Chevy Truck

[TechBill]

Howdy!

I own a 1986 C10 Chevy w/ 305 motor. It was my first full size truck and I had ti for a very long time until the radiator sprung a leak back in 2008 so I parked it at a friend's fence backyard since then.

About 6 years ago while my friend was away in college, someone climbed over the fence and they stole my both of my doors, hood, tailgate, brake light covers and a horn button.

So it been sitting out exposed to the weather until I finally gotten around to towing back to my home and now it sitting in my garage. It going to need a lot of work.

While it was sitting out in backyard, vines grew inside the engine compartment and we had to clip the vines off to get the truck out of the backyard onto the trailer!

The first photo show the vines growing up into the engine compartment and second one after I removed all the vines. It was a major pain trying to carefully remove the vines from the wiring and vacuum hoses.

The last one is the carburetor, I just rebuild it back in 2008 and I thought it was protected by the air filter housing but I guess I was wrong about that and it seem water got into the carb around the wing nut at the top.

Look like I am going to have to rebuild it again and hopefully it not pitted.
