Starting my build thread off to keep a log of my progress. I'll have to start taking more pictures when I work on her to keep it updated. Side note this is my first truck so I know close to nothing.
Backstory of the truck:
It is a 1988 C1500 Cheyenne W/T, single cab, long box. The guy I bought it from works away and the truck was handed down from his stepfather who passed away. He was too busy with work to keep it. His step-father had built it and then began stripping it down so I bought it on the whim the engine and tranny weren't toast.
I picked it up for $2,300 CAD in June 2019. Speedo said 212k but doesn't work anymore so there's no telling how much the body has. Engine is a 350 from an older truck and was converted to carbureted. When I first checked it out, I figured it was a good deal purely off all the extras and assumed everything worked.
He was throwing in everything that fit on the truck in his garage which included:
-TH400
-TH350
-4L60E I think
-3 water pumps, one being aluminum
-5 or 6 rad fans, including one with stainless blades
-Stock throttle body
-350 block (I assumed its the original from the truck)
-2 sets of mirrors, black and chrome
-Spare front chrome bumper
-2 brand new cherry bombs
-Set of chrome valve covers
-Chrome thermostat housing
-Steel braided hose cover kit
-Hundreds of random hoses
-Air dam+lights
Definitely missing stuff but that's the gist of it
