First time post, been a member for a little while.. Figured it was time for an introduction! Been around and into cars and trucks my whole life, worked at a speed shop through my teens and early 20's, always had a mud truck or fast car of some kind. But as it goes life got in the way, sold my toys, bought a house and grew up and settled into a career as a union heavy equipment mechanic. But finally decided last year it was time to get back into the mix so I went searching and acquired an '82 K30 that had sat for a few years. Previous owner supposedly had used it in "cheater stock" pulling classes so it has a few things (tricks) done to it. Body is in pretty decent shape, not a lot of rust or rot, paint is faded from sitting in the sun but had good bones and the bulletproof (mostly) driveline I was looking for. Dana 60 front, 14 bolt ff rear, 4.10's 454 th400, etc. Got a pretty good deal on it and finally getting some time to tinker with it here and there (started a new job last fall) this summer. Mostly driving it around town or the country with the kiddos who have taken a strong liking to the "Old Chevy" and love hearing it turn the rpm's! Cant say as I blame them! I see there is a ton of informative threads on here and as I dig deeper into this project im sure i'll be around a little more and more. Its eventually going to get a complete make over, but for now i'm more concerned with the odds and ends of making it road worthy and having a little fun with it. looking forward to the interaction And probably asking advice and tech questions from some of you seasoned members.
