New guy from Indiana
Hi, I'm 31 year old John Black from Terre Haute. I've been watching this site for a while even have a few posts. Decided I better introduce myself. I have a serious addiction to internal combustion. Here's a few pics of some of my stuff
![]() This is my '84 S-10 with a vortec headed 355/TH350 and 3.42 rearend. It has run 8.9's in the 1/8th. I painted it last summer if you're wondering where the two-tone went. ![]() I picked this Blazer up for $500 bucks with a blown head gasket. It only has 63,000 miles and looks and smells like new inside and out. It sat in the guy's garage for 6 years before he finally decided he wasn't going to fix it. ![]() It's an '85 and had 5 v-belts running accessories instead of a serpentine! I spent $300 in parts and machine work to fix the head gaskets. It took me a lot of time though. There was about 6 miles of vacuum hose for all the emission junk on the Varijet 2 bbl carb. ![]() This next ride is not pertinent to this site but pretty cool anyway. ![]() This is my '65 Rambler Classic wagon I bought when I was thirteen with my corn detassling money. A simple tranny extraction turned into a full tilt restoration. Landed in an April '09 Hot Rod magazines article about people who still had their first cars ![]() Not my last car but the only other ride that would matter here and the reason I joined this site is my '67 C-10. A friend of my father gave it to me when I was 14. It needed all new brakes and he wanted it out of his yard. It was my main car in highschool, didn't drive the Rambler much. It is a 283/3 spd manual. ![]() It's pretty rough. Already started the body work and lowering it. Got Jeep TJ springs for rear and going to use 2 inch blocks as well. Going to cut front coils and see if it gets me where I need to be. May wind up getting drop spindles. Anyway, thanks for looking at my junk pile. I have a few bikes and a little metro besides these and my wife drives a van. All of them licensed and insured except for the c-10 so far. My agent loves me.
