After owning it for a couple of months I had to have the motor rebuilt. Luckily it was comparatively cheap. only 800 dollars to have practically entire engine redone. (must note that it was a mechanic friend who did the work)
Electric choke on carburetor went south. after a few times having it flood out on me the carburetor was replaced with a rebuilt '76 model carburetor, and since it wasn't totally compatible I've got a manual choke on it now. Plan on replacing it with another '86 sometime before I decide to sell it.
Replaced the shocks.
Oil Pressure gauge didn't work.
Tailpipe needs to be replaced.
It has a new oil pump, water pump, engine thermometer, oil pressure gauge, starter.
Rebuilt motor/engine, transmission.
I plan on having the air conditioning redone and tires replaced.
Does have rust around windshield.
Interior looks great. Exterior looks great aside from some hail dings. Quick truck. Not a huge amount of power when it comes to climbing curbs, etc..., but it is only a 305. Decent gas mileage: about 15 mph. Great truck. I love it. It is the first I've owned that was all mine (I'm only 19) and I get a lot of compliments on it. I should be able to get most of what I've spent on it when I sell it.
I want a nice first truck. I want a truck with good style, decent gas mileage (I know that trucks aren't usually good with gas) and more than two seats. I've been looking and looking and it's hard with very little money. I'm asking for a recommendation for a truck. I like c10's and would like some advice.
Thank you
