Picked up my first square body!

87' shortbed "r10". new 350 motor,700r4 trans.

Picked it up for 1500 bucks. bodys in decent shape. White.

Guy went from a 305 to 350 swap. didnt finish the swap parts etc and it had a bad idle problem. Wouldnt even run without the temp sensor and map unplugged.

I swapped :
350 injectors
350 ecm
350 knock
350 knock module
map
egr
Got it to idle good,then the bogging issue arrived.

replaced the fuel filter and that fixed the bad shudder. Man was it caked! i was told it had a new pump/filter. yea sure maybe 5 years ago? Swapping in a delco pump this weekend too.

front end was rebuilt 10 years ago,and rear end was changed. truck had 2.73 gears,and from driving it,it feels more like something lower. Which im not complaining.

Exhaust is rusted out. guy threw in complete dual set (flowmaster 40s) with tips that came out of a 83'. im hoping it'll work. i think he said it was a longbed though?

Brakes? uh oh. bad! you can barely touch the pedal and the front left,and rear right locks up. Its in a buds shop now being adjusted,front brakes replaced. Hopefully easy fix.

I'll post pics of it soon. Im already in love with it even though im dumping alot of money then i wanted too,but eh. you know how that goes!
