Project retro-junkyard dog

After a long, long, long wait, I finally got a square. It ain't pretty nor is it ever going to be most likely. It has too many problems but they will be fixed soon.

It's a 1981 Silverado bought for the princely sum of $700. Has a super strong crate 350. T400. headers and dual exhaust. Has a little cab corner rust but not bad.



$10 Jeep steering shaft.


Tach cluster I found at Budget Wrench a week before buying the truck.


Added an auto-dimming compass/temp mirror as well.

Plus a GTM400 cab/third brake light.


Hopefully this week I can get it legal and start driving it once a week or so.
