My new old 83
Picked this little gem up yesterday. I got it up in Banner Elk NC. Beautiful area but it was a butt puckering drive coming home on wet roads down goat paths some would optimistically call a road towing that thing. It is an 83 Chevy 1500 2wd with a 305 and auto trans. Engine is perfect trans is toast. However If you look in the background of one of the pics you will see a 79 Chevy that has a perfect trans in it so I will be swapping them soon. Not sure of the mileage I didn't really even look. Body is in pretty good shape for an old work truck. It has a dent in the passengers door. Hood is fubared but I have a perfect one waiting to be installed. Interior is great. Seat has one small tear and dash has a crack. I can't wait to get to work on it and get it on the road again.
Now on to the crappy cell phone pics.

Re: My new old 83
I get up that way occasionally. Usually in my suburban though.
