Since I'm putting the Cobra in the shop shortly for new paint and the Tahoe goes in this week to get the hail dents taken out of it, I figured I'd grab a beater and have a work truck for when I need to move a couch.
I heard of someone selling this C10 on the cheap so I go check it out. Much to my surprise, under the hood sits a late model 454, TH400 w/3000 stall and a strangely adapted Kenne Bell Twin Screw. Apparently this guy built it and let it sit in storage for a while. He couldn't get it to start or hold air in the air bags. Took me 10 minuets to figure it out, another hour to fix it and the deal was done. It's been tuned and it runs pretty good, no hickups or other nonsense.
Interior is perfect and the body is straight as can be. No waves, no dents. Paint itself was screaming for help but I got that covered. A few days behind the rotary will fix it. I've already ordered a complete front/rear suspension kit to replace the front bags.
Thoughts?
