Old Blue
A while back (almost a year) I purchased an 85 c10 for my son with the hopes of getting him into working on these old trucks. We started on a few things like new mirrors and tail lights but due to a title issue, the truck sat in my driveway for quite a while with no tag, no title and a frustrated son (and dad). We recently got a bonded title for it and now she has a tag! Not sure if the son is still motivated but dad sure is.
This truck drives pretty darn good. Everything works on it! Even the cruise control! As soon as i got the tag for it, i checked all the fluids, tires and put fresh gas in her. Last night, went out with him and the truck to get some wings for dinner. We drove thing for over an hour and no temp, oil pressure or leak issues of any kind. Lots of thumbs up from folks at lights and on the road.
It has a 305 with a 700R4 trans. It also has the electric carb and all the emissions stuff (original VA truck). We'll be pulling some of that stuff off over time but in order to avoid opening up a can of worms, we're just going to enjoy driving it for a while.
Here are some pics.
