After doing some thinking as to what to do next, I decided to go with a truck.
Not that I'm tired of sports cars, I just wanted to do something different.
So, for $1500, I picked this up back in September.
1982 Chevy 2WD.
-350ci small block (only about 6000 miles on it)
-High rise intake manifold
-Holly 600CFM Double Pumper 4brl
-Edelbrock Cam.
-Rebuilt Turbo 350 Automatic Transmission.
The guy I bought it from says it he pulled a mid 13 with it. I have no idea if it's true. I really don't care. He's selling it for his son who has gone into the Marines. The truck is VERY strong and really sound mechanically. I barely tap the ignition and it fires right up. It also sounds great.
Obviously, the truck needs a paint job and the interior is.. well, it's an 82. Need I say more?
-The plan.
I don't want to do anything too crazy to it, just make it nice. I think it's pretty well perfect as far as engine performance goes. I don't plan on racing it or crazy off roading.
-Body
Surprisingly, it doesn't have too much of the "Chevy Cancer" body rot. A frew rust spots here and there, get some dent's fixed and a nice paint job. The color will either be a Black cherry metallic color or silver.
-Wheels and tires
I like what wheels it has now. I will get those refinished. Maybe a powder coat? I'm also going to stick with the Street/off road dueler type of tire. Staying with the bigger tires because, to me, it's a truck. Huge wheels with rubber band thin tires has never looked right to me.
-Suspension.
Not sure yet.
-Interior
It's all getting ripped out. All that **** carpet and nasty bench seat MUST go. I hate it. Full gauge cluster as well.
-Accessories
Probably going to go for a nice brush guard for the front and some lighting.
This will take a bit of time. But, it's just something fun to do. I will try and do one major thing a month on it. I will keep you all updated and I'm more than willing to listen to suggestions.
