Bluenoser
Since I sold my blue truck, I've been driving this one every day. Got the bodywork just about finished, still need to paint the tailgate and touch up the rocker guard in a few spots. Put new headlights in and adjusted them properly, and I'm amazed at the output. Much better than I remember these style lights being. They will be staying. I'm loving the work truck grille. And I don't care what anyone else thinks of it!
(sorry for crap phone pics)
Looking at tire/wheel options now...I'd like 285s (currently almost worn out 245s), and as for wheels, unsure. I want stock sawblade aluminums, but they're hard to get in any kind of shape.
Mechanically, the truck is pretty decent. The motor, though old and probably tired, seems to run pretty darned well for 20 years old. I had a problem with a malfunctioning 4x4 switch (on the transfer case) not engaging sometimes, and then other times engaging the front axle when I was driving down the road in 2wd. A couple nips of the wires and a toggle switch on the dash fixed that, and bonus, now I have 2wd low. Great for pulling heavy on pavement, especially where this 305 TBI/3.73s isn't even in the same league as my old 350 Vortec/4.10s I had. Not even remotely close; I've had to rethink the way I haul/drive.
