My trucks body has 152k on it. The engine has 812 miles (crate) and the tranny has about 850. I can't wait for my rear end to go and give me an excuse to upgrade gears!

That not right. Talk about being able to go back in time. It make me think the shock are even original, garage queen

Slonaker · 03-18-2007, 10:44 PM

The last owner told me he knew it had turned over at least once, and I turned it over again. Based on that 240K or more. On the third engine that I know of. The worn out 305 I replaced was a crate engine.

Ya? I''ll eventually be going from a 2.73 to the 3.73. Think I'll notice a significant increase? I can't even break the tires loose from a stop right now

yeah i went from 2.73 also, but i could turn the tire over from a dead stop with the 305. But you will notice a big difference.

99K on the 85... bought it just a few months ago with 98K.

hiway · 03-19-2007, 11:47 AM

My 86 Chevy pickup with a 305 is far and away the longest lasting and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I got it for a work truck in 1994 when it had 121,000 miles on it. During the first couple of years I had to make a few minor repairs like a water pump and alternator but nothing major. What really impressed me was from 200,000 to 300,000 miles it never broke down or required any repairs at all. Not even a brake job!

In 2002 it had 340,000 miles on it. Although it never burned oil it was leaking oil, had a pin hole in the radiator, and the paint was pealing. I bought another truck and non-opped the 86. I just drove it around on the farm for a couple of years.

Last year my son turned 16 and I figured the ‘86 would be a good first vehicle for him. We pulled out the old 305 and just like the engine in Rich69RS/SS truck it was in remarkably good shape inside. There was almost no wear on the cylinders. We freshened up the 305 up with new rings and bearings, a valve job, and a new cam and lifters, and a new timing chain.

It now has 349,000 miles on it and it just keeps on going. It’s like the Energizer Bunny.

Here is a recent photograph of how it looks today:
