This is a beautiful truck with amazing patina, old school pin striping and so much character! You can't fake this look, the history and finish took years to develop, courtesy of the previous owners and mother nature! I've saved the finish and protected it by wiping on linseed oil, which gave it a matte finish.
I've spent time and money on the drivetrain, suspension and interior making it a sporty, fun driver.
The interior has very comfortable & new Scat low-back bucket seats, center console with cup holders and internal storage. It also has a pair of new PRP lap belts. I replaced the dash pad with a new one. The Sidewinder shifter sits on a raised tower so you can reach it comfortably from the drivers seat. I added a smaller Grant steering wheel. It also has new carpet inside to finish off the interior.
The suspension has new drop springs, 3" drop up front and 4" drop out back. The shocks are new and match the suspension drop. It rides pretty well and feels pretty sporty.
The wheels and tires are massive 22's with Bridgestone Alenza 275/50/22 tires, they have 90% tread at this point. They fill the wheel well perfectly with no gap at all. They're massive, but fit very well. (I have another set of 20" wheels I can include as well, no tires though.)
The engine is a freshly built Vortec 355 (bored .030 over) with hyperutectic flat-top pistons, Vortec heads, ARP bolts, Vortec carb intake, Summit Racing Stage 2 roller cam ( 218 x 227 & .560/.555 lift at valve) and makes power from 1,800 - 6,300 RPM, Comp Cams 1.6 roller rockers, Melling high volume oil pump, HEI ignition, Holley 3310 750 vacuum secondary carb, long tube ceramic coated headers, 2.5" exhaust with a crossover and Magnaflow mufflers.
The transmission is a Mega Monster TH350 from Monster Transmission with 1800-2000 RPM stall convertor. It shifts hard and works great, it's probably overkill for this Vortec 355. With the Sidewinder shifter you can shift it manually and really have some fun banging gears.
The rear axle is the factory 12 Bolt with 3.08 gears and a limited slip.
The gas tank was pulled, cleaned and lined, it has a new heavy duty aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, an Edelbrock electric fuel pump, I've replaced the ignition & starter wiring harness, as well as the rear brake & tail light harness, it has new gauges mounted under the dash, the rear bumper was replaced with a roll pan, I upgraded to sporty, small mirrors, the drum brakes were rebuilt and a new master cyl was added (I have 4 wheel disc brakes for the truck not yet installed). I added aftermarket power steering with a new box & pump, which really make this truck easy to drive.
It does have the typical C10 rust issues, the cab floors aren't great, cab corners have rust and there's rust over the windshield. It's all stuff that could be patched and repaired. The front clip, bed, doors, etc are all pretty solid. Frame is solid, too. The blinkers & brake lights work, but the headlights don't function at the moment. Probably the switch, but I haven't replaced it yet.
I've got a bunch of extras I'll include, 4 wheel discs, new heater core, new suspension parts, extra light lenses, etc.
This truck is very driveable, cruises down the road well and is really enjoyable to drive around in. The engine makes great oil pressure and runs nice and cool. It's far from perfect, it has some dents and it needs plenty of additional work but you can make it yours, finish off the small things and have fun with it in the meantime. It's loud, ratty and raw… and so fun to drive.
I do have the title in hand, but it's in the PO's name and they never titled it in their name. I'm working on getting it resolved, but its taking time.
I'd prefer to sell outright, but will consider trades for a GM muscle car of equal value or a 2 seat Honda Talon or Kawasaki KRX side by side.
I've got close to $20k into the truck with all the upgrades… if it doesn't sell for $15k, I'll keep working on it and list it higher next time.
