New Georgia Guy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cyclone85 · 09-07-2007, 08:31 PM

I'm not good at introductions but here goes, I'm Jeb, 19, and I have a 1985 Silverado that my Grandpa gave me. It has a 305 (LE9), TH350, and a 10 bolt rear with 2.73 gears. It is in excellent condition and looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. My goal is to pretty much keep it stock and just fix the things that are wrong with it and maybe do a few performance upgrades. I just finished replacing the pinion seal and my next goal is to install a set of long tube headers that I got from a friend. I've got a pretty good automotive background and this is my first GM product, all my other cars are Mopars. I've got a lot of questions though, especially about the infamous side saddle fuel tanks (I've got em on both sides).

Anywho, here is a pic of my truck I took a couple of months ago. I know it is filthy and covered with dust but it looks great when it is cleaned up.
