Hummm.... make sure to go over it with a fine tooth "wrench" You don't want two trucks sitt'in idle. But on that note....COOL

 

[5.0Flareside]

this things body is PERFECT. 302 is VERY STOUT.. needs cat back exhaust. and a throttle position sensor and a tranny fluid change..

 

[Beach66Bum]

I can see it now all detailed !!! sharp truck !!! sooo....

Now all you need is a true C6 to get rid of that electronically controlled 4 speed overdrive piece of wannabe C6 garbage.

Even though the AOD sucks, OD is sure nice to have.

 

[5.0Flareside]

Yeah idk. Swapping the transfer to something else in the future is an idea. But not sure.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

E4OD is not AOD. E4OD is much better, and I'd take it over a c6 any day. Who the heck wants to be limited to 3 gears?

The 302 is probably no more stout than any other 302 that rolled off the line. Good motor but nothing spectacular for the truck.

You describe everything you decide to purchase in a similar fashion. So far this has yet to be seen with any of your purchases. If you are serious about buying a used vehicle I highly suggest you bring a mechanic or take the truck to a reputable mechanic to be looked over. not trying to make fun of you or anything. I'm sure you can make some repairs and finish them, but given the fact that you seem to bail out on stuff when it gets a little tough I seriously think you should bring a more knowledgable person to look at the truck so you don't just end up with another money pit. Granted every used vehicle requires money to keep it going, but in your case you should put a little extra money into something you don't have to spend a lot of time on versus something that could be another driveway ornament.

I`d buy that for a grand. And then I`d do mass air, a couple of turbos off a jy T-birds, an e-bay charge air cooler, some 295/50s, and drive the crap out of it.

But I digress. Nice looking truck for the money.

What does the giant ball of red wire do? People's idea of running wires make me laugh. Hope the person doesn't wire houses.
