Nice job! I have an '88 K2500 single cab long bed with a 4 speed manual small block 350 that was my wife's father's. We got it when he passed and he wasn't able to drive for many years. It is in bad shape and I've just started working on it. Looking forward to seeing more!
Nice clean work! I just purchased a 93 1500 WT 6cyl with 88,000 true miles, garage kept, zero rust. Just two little door dings on the passenger side. Wish it were Vortec. But I'm ticked to death with what I snatched up for $7,500. My new daily driver.
I have a 92. Ex cab 8 ft bed .the interior is over. Done. Hahah but it works and runs no smoke...paid 1800 in 2012. Put 5k if that on it as i lived a mile from work and only went to work. Its sat now since 2019. I bought new battery and drive it over to where i live now at my daughters as i watch my granbaby for her. Its bit ugly but the 350 tbi fires up and trans im not sure i guess its the same as all tbe 350 tbi tow package long bed ex cab c1500s. Lol. The guy i bought it from said it was rebuilt at 30k miles ago in 2012 it was 196k. No smoke ...ran him 60 miles back home and i drove home. It didnt have power steering either. I did get one on it and wow you love the steering after that trying to parallel parking a boat hahahah. I am needibg to flush the radiator too. It overheated driving it 2 miles over here. . Since it sat 3 years im assuming that is it. Also the rear end i had to give it some gas moving it forst foot after sitting. Clunk ...it works now. So i guess the rear end needs oil grease etc. I was looking to see how to prove its rebuilt but i know it is rare for 200k miles on a 350 to not smoke. Lol.
Oh she's typical too. Will smoke the tires and probably 8 ish seconds to 60 from dead stop. But the power is really there from 60 to 120. Hahah. I don't know what the guy did but assuming he bored it over 33 or whatever he said it's definitely not a stroker. It still has the stock parts as far as I can see. I asked him why didn't he dual the exhaust and put headers ...he said he likes to not draw attention. ?? I don't know but even if it wasn't rebuilt and was swell cared for I still got my 1800 out of it. And she still fires and drives.
Definitely liking and subbing. Hoping to see more! Probably the same as many, but also on a similar journey and will try to share my journey if/when I can.
