Yeah there's a lot of flake in there! I'll get a close up pic of it; however, the picture makes it look better than it actually is.

Airbags, paint, new wiring, disc brake conversion, power steering... the list goes on and on. It already has the 350 swap and a 3 speed with a B&M gate shifter and shift kit. It's smokes a little out of the driver side when idling and I'm guessing the culprit is worn valve guides, so that's gonna be the first thing on my list.

Anyone here near the central coast? I don't know any other C10 owners at all.

Funny you mentioned San Justo .... Saw the boat ramp sign on the way back from Monterey just yesterday.

Drove by there to check it out, and gates "closed to further notice"

Wonder whats going on, and how long its been closed ?

The closed it 2-3 years ago, due to the zebra mussel infestation. Apparently, this mussel likes to rapidly reproduce in pipelines until the pipes can no longer deliver water, and as California is pumping water clear across the state to multiple cities, they figured it would be better to just shut it down than to risk further infestation in reservoirs such as San Luis. However, they have filled the lake with ash, in order to kill everything in it, and will possibly be re-opening it next year.
