I just got this truck on Jan 18th, for free.
But now its parted out and is now at the junk yard because i got a new one in better shape
I picked it up for $200, its an 86'.
The body is in alot better shape, mainly surface rust. no major problems anywhere. The interior is in a lot better shape too. the dashboard only has one small crack in it thats hardly noticeable, as opposed to the old one having big chunks missing out of it, so I probably wont even replace it.
The Motor is just about ready to be dropped in, Just have to throw a water pump on it and pulleys and it will be set.
It is a Chevy 350cid. it has a mild cam from summit with .420/.442 lift and 262/272 duration. It also has a used edelbrock performer aluminum intake. It also has an old mallory points distributor with an accel super stack coil. I put all new seals and gaskets all around, it was a leaky motor when we first got it. most of the parts, except for the camshaft were things found in the garage. This S10 is a budget build, and my first project car/truck.
Got the 8.8 out of an explorer for $125 at the local junkyard. 4.10 posi with disc brakes!
Finally got the engine bolted in, its makin me giddy :D
Still a while from actually driving it though.
Between work and school, I dont have much time to work on it, but I plan to get this beast done by April, High school nationals at Milan Dragway baby!
