1982 Chevy truck wheels
 
I bought a all stock 1982 chevy truck that was just parked for several years. My question is it has the factory ralley wheels. I have a nice set of aluminum wheels that would look good on it. My plan is to get it running then sell it. Should I keep the stock wheels on it or put the aluminum wheels on it.

I prefer the rally wheels.

You are the only person that can answer that.

But - if you go with aluminum- there will be folks lined up to take those rally's off your hands.

Just wondering what would make the truck sell better stock or aftermarket

Advertise the truck with the choice of either wheel set. Once the truck sells, then sell the remaining wheel set.

Tried to start the truck today and it cranked just a little then will only click. Cant turn the engine over now. Is a 305 worth rebuilding?

Nothing wrong with a 305. If it turned over and now it only clicks, sounds like the battery to me.

How long has it been since the engine was last run? Is there any possibility that a cylinder got flooded with fuel and hydrolocked? Pull all the spark plugs, and try barring it over again.

Yeah it sounds hydro-locked. Remove spark plugs and try again as mentioned.

No fuel going to the carb. I was just trying to see if the engine would turn over. It has been sitting for 10 plus years. I pored some trans fluid down the intake and am going to let it sit for a few days and try it again.
