Outlaw 190 Proof
Newbie
Well I figure I better start this thread now before it ends up like my Ford which took 3 days to catch up when I started it late and I missed a lot of things. I want to break the posts up a bit so they aren't extemly long like my Fords build thread is.
So first is about the truck:
I bought Victoria from a previous co-worker of mine. He bugged me about buying it for probably 4 or 5 good months but to me the original price wasn't right. He originally wanted $400 and I wasn't really looking for an older Chevy truck I really wanted a powerstroke. In about 3 months I came to my senses that a powerstroke wasn't the truck for me and I started looking at his Chevy. Then we finally agreed on $150 with tittle in hand.
The truck was originally bought by his dad whom passed away and left my coworker this truck and a 90s 4runner.
The truck was used as a wood truck but his dad liked to keep the drivetrain in great shape not so much the body and interior (typical of a truck out here either good drivetrain bad body or bad drivetrain good body.)
She is a 89 Chevy K2500 4x4 ECLB 350 5.7L TBI TH400 with a 3 1/2" stainless steel glasspack exhaust with no cats. All emissions crap deleted. She has a power drivers manual passenger side 40/20/40 with fold down console seat out of a newer chevy (need uplosthered). She has a 3.73posi SF 14bolt rear.
She runs but the battery is so toast it is sad. None of the tires or wheels match, dent in the passenger door and cab. Fender is pushed in from drivers door grabing on it sagging doors. passenger fender has a dent by the busted grille. Tailgate handle clips are broken. Slight crease in the bed on the passenger side. Dent in the hood.
All the dents should come out with a little elbow grease minus the one in the hood which I will be replacing.
Most will think this truck is just scrap but that's what I do is take cheap ready to go trucks and fix them up to what I want. This one will be the most expensive/most gone through truck yet and she will take a lot of time to do.
