Hopefully a future score!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Long story short I stumbled across a 1985 Silverado LWB that a extended family member has. He's getting up in age 70+ and this is "farm truck". I've always seen him in his car and never seen this truck. He happen to be helping me move another family member and used the truck. When he pulled up I was automatically interested being a 73-87 guy. I asked him about it and he didn't know much about it. Just get in and drive with the fluids changed kind of thing. I looked and it's got a 305, TH350 (probably a TH350C). I looked over the interior and it was immaculate! Only 2 cracks on the dash, factory everything! This was like in a time capsule.It's usually in the garage and out of the weather. I popped the hood and everything was still factory looking. I asked him if it had rolled over and he said no. It still had 63,000 miles on it

I asked him what he planned on doing with it. He said I'll sell it soon with no need for it.

So I told him let me sell my K-5 and I'll give him a call. He hasn't set a price yet but I'll be hopefully scoring this soon.

That sounds almost exactly like my truck, with the exception that mine was hit by a tractor and dented the tailgate. Other than that, I got it from a guy down on a farm that used it. Awesome find! Good luck!
