My name is John, Im married with 2 kids (girl 9 and son 4), live in a small town pop 3500 and commute to Houston (100 miles round trip) everyday. I am an engineer at a oil company controls corp. Im thinking about selling the 85 and building a 4x4 but havent decided yet....however if someone offered me $6000 cash I doubt I would turn it down

Hope that isn't too much info but you asked for it :p

This is my 1985 C10, it has a GM crate 350, rebuilt 350 auto tranny, new radiator, AC, shaved drip rails totally debadged, shaved/smoothed tailgate, front and rear welded/smoothed rollpans, goodmark gm restoration all steel functional cowl induction hood, stull grille, new carpet, new billet dash, all new window seals and new front glass w/new seal, lowered 3/5, 17x9 eagle 212's with 255/60/17 dunlop tires just painted 1/04 and has never had any rust.

This is my 1990 Burb which is my daily driver.

elvis50138 · 10-13-2004, 12:50 PM

Well, I've been hanging round here for a bit. I'll go ahead and show/tell ya my "stuff"

I live in the Iowa. Land of the cancerous vehicles. I think they spread salt on the roads here even in the summer... just to make sure. 32 yr old desk jockey during the day with a wife and a daughter. Long-time owner of 93 Ford Festiva used for my 90 mile commute to work. The Festy is affectionately named the "Deerslayer" due to its multiple collisions with Bambi's. Amazingly it still runs. Looks like hell... but runs. I occasionally have to beat on the fenders and hood with hammer and crow bar (delicate tweaking) to get them to work.

Recent owner of a 86 C-10 LWB 305. Purchased from a fella in FL that left it sitting in his backyard for a couple of years. He thought the engine was shot. First time I looked at it I noticed a couple of spark plug wires were bad. Came back out with some other wires and a battery and it started right up and ran real good. Went up to his house and told him I would get it off his property for $900 dollars... He said deal. You shoulda seen his face when I went screaming down his driveway a few minutes later.

My mom and stepdad live down in FL and I found the truck during a 2 week vacation to visit family. Step dad has a body shop and he slapped a decent paint job on it. Truck is in pretty good shape. Odometer shows 41,xxx miles and no rust thanks to the lovely FL weather. I need to get it rust-proofed shortly before winter hits up here in IA. It needs lots of little things nothing major. Probably will take me awhile though with a daughter who goes out for every sport and an old house needing lots of repairs. Just got some new rallys and tires for it I need to get mounted (so please excuse the ugly spray-bombed wheels and skinny tires in the pics... they're soon to be spares).

Anyway, here's some pics.

Hi my name is Jeff, I live in Houston Texas. I work as a Mech. sheetmetal designer in the oil field industry. I have been working on my 1980 GMC Serria Grande for about 6 years now.
