My new work/play/man's truck...
Been looking for a 1964-1966 C10 fleetside big rear window truck for a while and after looking at a few rust buckets for $3000+ finally expanded my search. Happened upon this 1986 silverado on a facebook auto group, it was the exact opposite of what I was looking for as it was a long bed, 2wd, with a 305. Drove 1.5 hours and did some haggling but didn't end up working out a deal then but that night finalized a deal and they drove it to me the next afternoon. Ended up with a pretty decent (in my opinion) 86 C20 for just at $1k. It's nice enough to be relatively proud of but not too nice to get a little dirty and haul some stuff.
I just need to adjust the carb and check the timing. Runs well right now but hesitates a little at low speeds and backfires like a gunshot within 3 sec of shutting it down. I'll take some better pictures and maybe start a project thread.
