Newbe from Central Arkansas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

78Chevy · 11-03-2006, 05:33 PM

I have been learning a lot of things from this site!

A couple of years ago I bought this truck, a 78 c10 swb, with a 350, (the one in the Picture) from an older couple. The gentleman had the motor overhauled with a "high performance cam" installed so that he could pull his camper once a year to the lake. Since I knew the mechanic real well I didn't think twice. The trans was also rebuilt with an auxillary cooler installed, along with a larger radiator, a completely new interior, and new paint job.

I am hooked on this truck! It has a few problems, but I have solved all except one and hopfully someone can help me!

I am really looking forward to hearing all the advise and knowledge that seems to be here! Thanks
