84 craigslist score

[CrazyJesster]

so i found a 1984 chevy shortwide on craigslist. i called the guy and asked for pics. he sent them an i liked what i seen. so i drove to wichita falls which is 125miles from where im at. and i looked at the truck fired it up drove it around a few. seem to run ok an sounds great brand new flowmaster 40 series. its got a newer style 350 i have not ran the numbers it could even be a 305. but its got the center bolts through the valve covers. he said it has a 200r4 transmission which it is an over drive transmission. but there is a couple of issues when i go to mash the gas pedal down. the tranny feels like it hesitates an takes a while to build up. itsn ot at all fast or quick by any means. it takes a while to build up speed then it will move a little faster. could this be a vacum line issues maybe???
could it be a stall convertor


i will get more pics tomorrow of the wiring issue. they kind of did what i would call a fly by night splice an dice job. on the harness from the motor to the wires comming out of the dash. ill post pics of that tomorrow

so i get it home an it did very good on the highway speed o is off told me 45mph gps said 71mph. took 31$ in gas to get it home that filled the tank

there is some rust ill get a pic of that tomorrow also it got dark on me


now another issue is im having i got the truck hone fine no issues. i went to get init to go to the store and no start the guy told me he put a new lock out cylinders in the doors an ignition switch in the colum

maybe a loose wire or something all an all i htink ill be happy with it when i get the bugs worked out

here are the pics the guy sent me on the phone. ill get more tomorrow in daylight
