Quick Clean up 85 c20

Picked this up today for a steal, It was so clean I couldn't pass it up, its a C20 with the C6P Heavy duty Chassis package and is a Silverado Package. 350 th400 interestingly enough this can hold a bigger camper than the dually but just 100 lbs less weight . I went and looked at it and it wouldn't hardly run, y pipe is broken and held together with a tin can and a worm clamp , I managed to drive it home 25 miles at 65-70 mph got it home and tinkered with it to find out its got a big vac leak under the carb adapter , the dist was super loose, it is in sad shape. The ad said it had a rebuilt engine with 1000 miles ,, needless to say when i asked the guy about it he couldn't seem to locate the paperwork ..lol I could see by the 2 inches thick of grease on the block it wasn't rebuilt but did seem to run OK on the highway.

Re: Quick Clean up 85 c20

Not sure yet I think I'm just going to clean it up, redo the interior and drop in a vortec long block with a zz4 cam and rebuild the TH400 or find a 4l80E

Re: Quick Clean up 85 c20

OK got the exhaust redone today , The Original was broken right after the Y on the Y pipe, They had it wrapped up with muffler putty and tin flashing and worm clamps..lol

I just had em replace it from there back with a flowmaster knockoff Xcelerator Muffler

I found a used bolt on tip out in the scrap pile.. so I asked what he wanted for it and He gave it to me for free.

Also pushed out some of the damaged rear lower quarter.

Re: Quick Clean up 85 c20

Took the seat and carpet out yesterday, it was so nasty I couldn't stand riding in it until I get it redone..





Gotta love texas trucks..

Heater core had been leaking for sometime I guess,


just sprayed down the carpet to get most of the funk out till I can clean the floor off and coat it and add some dynomat and install new padding and carpet and different seats.
I go to school full time so I need to drive it 4 days a week.


damn sure smells better .

Re: Quick Clean up 85 c20

Picked up a Pressure washer from Tractor supply and went to town on the bottom , Man this thing is clean, but the 30 year old grease was tough to crack, had to use te 0 Degree tip to blast it loose , and I picked up a 90 LO5 from a g20 van fan to flywheel, so thats going in next week and this mix matched pile of crap 350 is coming out.

Re: Quick Clean up 85 c20

Right on. LO5 have a mechanical fuel pump? Come with a serpentine setup?

Re: Quick Clean up 85 c20

Truck looks to be in pretty good shape. Do you know of any other local yards that have c10s besides wrench apart in Belton?

Sweet. There was a nice truck under the crud. Are you planning on dog dish caps or different wheels?
