Build story
1986 GMC C1500 Sierra Classic
I first got this truck in 2019 at 16 years old. She was barely running and I towed her out of a field with no prior experience working on cars. Got it running, and started cruisin around for a while.
Unfortunately, when I was driving home from work around 2 AM the engine let go of a rod.
As of now, I have swapped that blown engine with a very old and beat up 350 I found for $200, so I can cruise the truck while I build up a nice mild 350 setup. This truck is on it's third engine, but everything else is original. The built 350 will be its fourth.
So this old squarebody is a mild frankenstein. Running a 350 from a late 60's/early 70's unknown vehicle, with a TH350 outfitted for a 305 but I made it work, and quadrajet from a '75 C20. Of course nothing works exactly how it should.
