Hey guys, New member possibly about to purchase my first chevy

[j86c10]

Hey guys, I have never been a chevy guy and I have never owned one but have always respected them. I have a background of drag racing and playing with street cars (mostly all mustangs) and have always been a car guy. Having been maried now for 7yrs with 2 small kids I have been kinda out of the car game for a while. I sold a 02 ram recently and figured I would buy myself a older vehicle I could get cheap and possibly fix up a little. I have been looking at buying a older ford truck but wasn't really finding many that caught my attention.

A close buddy of mine let me borrow his 84 c10 swb for a short period while I was moving and I really enjoyed driving the old truck. That paticular truck was a blast to drive having a zz4 crate engine and th350 with a converter. I was talking to him one day and he started telling me his uncle had a 1986 swb 2wd c10 that he had mentioned selling so I went and checked it out and was plesantly surprised to find a pretty clean one owner silverado that just needs some minor tlc to be a real nice truck for the measly sum of $1800. It has a 305/th350 with long tube headers edelbrock intake and holley 600 on it. Needless to say this will be my truck pretty soon.
