Well like the title says, I am a new here from ky. I just recently bought this truck. I traded a guy a 91 honda prelude for it.
The truck is a 78 1/2 ton c10 cheyanne. its got a 350 in it that is not origional to the truck. origionaly it had a 5.7 disel in it. its got hd suspension, front discs and front sway bar from the factory. ive got quite a few plans for it, but right now, replacing the carb is number one on the list. its got a stock quatrajet and leaks down when it sits for a few hours. since i have never messed with carbs, im gonna just get a refurbished one from advance autoparts that has a 1 year warrenty. here is a few pics:    enjoy and comments welcome... |

It looks like your on your way to having a nice truck. You will get tons of information here if you stick around.....
 What's the red wire wrapped around the E-brake go to?

Man, after seeing the interior pic, I was almost shocked seeing the exterior pic! That is one mean looking stepside -- You definitely got the good end of that trade!

Hi ,
welcome on board ! I had a 1979 C-10 with the 350 Olds Diesel engine , which was also refitted as a gasser , the replacement engine being an Oldsmobile engine , it was a direct fit to the original tranny , which only allows engines with the B.O.P. ( Buick , Oldsmobile , Pontiac and Cadillac ) pattern you tell us you have a 350ci engine in your truck , but from which brand ? Greetzzzzz the Baron
