These are kinda old now...I need to take some newer pictures.

This is what my '86 with 305 looked like when I brought it home.

As you can see, it's not quite factory stock. But aside from the green garden hose wire loom, the mis-matched plug wires, missing CC linkage, and hodge-podge spliced together vacuum lines, it's pretty close.

Not the purdiest, but here's some pics of the 350 in the '83 I sold...

Hey boatpuller, what AC unit do you have, as far as inside the truck is concerned?

Not a complete hijack, here's a few pic's of mine.

here are 3 of my old 80:

gchemist · 03-19-2008, 06:09 AM

Zombie,
Where did you get the intake heater hose adaptor? I like it. Less stress on the water hose than routing over the valve cover. I've blown two hoses because of routing over the valve cover.
