Score!

I picked up an '86 3/4-ton Burb this weekend.

Great body, no rust anywhere, brand new seats, new dual exhaust with smog-legal headers, H-pipe and Flowmasters, HD case TH400, NP-208, 14SF rear, new 33x12.50-16 TrXus tires on alloys, roller cam motor with Vortec heads, new radiator, etc.

It won't pass smog because of the Vortec intake (no EGR). I've got some 041 heads sitting in the garage I'm gonna throw on there, so I just need an EGR intake for 'em. Those heads should flow pretty well, too.

Overall I'm very pleased so far.

Re: Score!

I'll try and snap some this weekend...

I've currently got the top end off the engine and am installing the 041 heads and an Edelbrock manifold (w/ EGR) I found in the junkyard.

Re: Score!

Here's some pics that the PO had posted. It now has no stickers on the windows, and has had a bath/vacuum.

Once I get it smogged it will be getting a shackle flip in the rear and 4" front springs.
