Big Update
So it's been awhile since I have had any activity on here and here's the story. I sold my 1985 Chevy K10 that I loved so much but it needed a ton of time and money which I did not have. Hate that I did it but I have the guys number still and may contact him someday. I sold it for $400 cash in the condition it was in. I turned around and bought a 1985 Chevy Camaro Z28 with a 355, built th350 and 3.73 POSI rearend for $600. I not too long ago acquired a nicer paying job so that gives me more room to play with things. So I began to look for another 73-87 Chevy truck to build to my liking this summer and have for winter. What I found was a 1987 Chevy Silverado for $500. Story is it's a nice roller, motor gone has a th350 that needs rebuilt and a unknown transfercase that works. Truck needs minor body work which is nothing for me now. I have not purchased this truck yet but I plan to in the next 2 weeks. The seller told me that no one else has contacted him about the truck and I am the only one interested in it. So you guys are now up to date on what has happened in the past year with me.
 Picture time.

Re: Big Update
More pictures. The bed corner is the worst rust on the truck.

Re: Big Update
Good to see you back; as an aside - I see you are in Elkhart. I used to spend quite a bit of time down there in the Hummer H2 plant in Mishawaka. I really like that area down there.

Re: Big Update
I talked to the guy again and he informed me he would not be putting it on again or updating the craigslist ad. So hopefully no one else looks at this truck and it will be mine.

Re: Big Update
Thanks for the welcome back guys, another update on this truck. Talked to the guy again today, so Saturday I am going out to his place to view the truck and put cash down on it if I decide I want it for sure. If it is anything like the pictures I will be putting cash on it.

Re: Big Update
I also have already started creating plans on what I want to do with this truck, and it may involve a Cummins. The first thing that will be done is all the body work, then I may strip all the wiring depending on the motor set-up I go with and all that. I am thinking I will be painting it black. I would also like to put 3/4 ton springs and Dana's under it. Any other ideas I am open to and would like to hear them.
