Got another member of my extending truck family :D
And so it begins again....... Well after not having a pickup for a few months the wifes decided we needed one lol....... This one might become my sons IF and I MEAN IF he works on her lol. If not she is mine . Was surfing craiglist for a couple of weeks with 1 k budget authorized by the wifey lol. Well stumbled across this ole girl in a guys driveway he was asking 800$ he said it ran and drove but had some issues.... Well went over and took a look at the ole girl fired her up after 1 pump of the carb... NICE!! Nice lil chevy 350 off in her with a th350 trans... Brand spankin new demon carb perched off on top lol..... did a walk around and as I thought no way in heck could drive it home without brake lights turn signals etc...... Well after thinking about it texted the guy offering him 500 which after discussion with the wife and the son (who is interested or so he says in the truck)... He promptly replied back no I cant sell it for that much. oh ok! go on about life and start looking at other rigs in the chevy/gmc family around the 1k down price range..... Next day working at my side nursing job and I get a call from a number I don't recognize?? Well answer the phone and the lady on the other end says 500$ come n git her!!! I want her outta my yard my husband has too many toys and I told him it goes or else!!!!. Got very excited at this this point called the wife and told her the truck was a go!
Get down there the next day met with the guys wife got the title handed her 500$ and she asked how I was going to get her home. I told her well since the lights don't work and me being safety minded told her I would have it towed........ Welp she had it towed for free by her AAA auto service told em I was doing some work on the truck for them lol. 125 bucks saved lol Here she is as my sons calls her TITAN because of the seafoam green paint job factory..

Re: Got another member of my extending truck family :D
Once I get the donor for my 64 out of the garage have a weekend planned to repair the wifes car then pull this one in and get to work figuring out the light problems and go from there. Definietely needs new carburetor gaskets on the manifold, choke hooked up and a few other things then start with the light problems next. Luckily the donor truck has a comlete intact and good rear tail light harness that I have stripped and place d on my work bench ready to install ifn it comes down to it. Gotta love chevy stick with the same wiring colors all the way through

Re: Got another member of my extending truck family :D
been gathering a few parts here n there getting alotta freebie stuff from some of my truck club friend up this way and will be getting to this truck late next week after the wifes skateboard is fixed lol
![]() ![]() Also need to drop by Fry's elevtronics and get some more soldering iron tips for my weller and git after it. Sean First Bundle of wires is off a k3500 donor truck I have in the garage for my smurf project figured since I had all that extra wiring rip it out and put to other uses lol. Most of the taillight wiring from that truck will be going in the 69 as the wires are pretty derned crunchy. Second and third pics are of a 85 c10 harness I got from the pick in pull really good shape wires still supple and flexible for 45 bucks got the underhood harness as well with the hei connections along with the main underdash harness assembly.
