This a first for me, I've got a couple trucks to sell and I honestly don't know a hell of a lot about them so please bear with me, lol. There will will be more info and pictures coming in the next couple days.

The first truck is a '94 shortbed with a TBI 350 and an automatic trans. The truck has high miles, but it runs good and does not smoke. It has headers and good sounding exhaust. I'm not sure if the engine is original to the truck. I believe the trans has been rebuilt. The gray interior is in pretty good shape, it's a bench seat. Oddly, the factory tach needle has been removed and there's an aftermarket tach installed on the pillar. Also, the driver armrest and door panel is kinda floppy. The body has some minor dings, dents and scratches but its very solid. The only rust is in the right cab corner. The truck recently came up from the Chattanooga area, so not an Ohio truck. Asking $3900 for it.

The second truck is a '90 454 SS with a little over 100k on the odo. The 454 has a bad rod knock, but does run fantastic. The TH400 seems to work well, but has not been road tested due to the rod knock. The truck has been lowered in the past and the frame has a C-notch. The correct 14 bolt axle is still under the truck. The body is ok, it's had thd usual rust in the past but has been repaired. It's honestly not show quality work, but it's not too bad. The paint is some kind of funky low-gloss stuff, with a few high-gloss accents (which is peeling on the hood). The interior is rather nice with factory buckets and console. The driver armrest is missing and some cloth needs re-glued back onto the panel. But the seats are very nice and there's not a single crack in the dash. Not shown is the propper fog lights, air dam and wheel center caps but they are included and will be installed soon. Asking $5900 for that one.

Again, more pictures and details will be coming and small cosmetic repairs will be made as time allows. I'm selling them with a friend of mine and I'm not currently home, so he is running the show by himself.

Lol, that's what everyone says. Red must be really popular still. I'm more partial to the black one.
I love the ss but that red one is just good lookin. Both of my gmt400s were red though

I’ve always wanted a 454SS since they were new on the lot but that one sounds like it needs a lot of work possibly

We figured we would offer it up for sale in case someone wants one and wants to build an engine for it. I will likely end up putting a fresh 454 (stock) in it so it's more of a driver and less of a project.

The 454 SS got the proper fog light setup installed and the interior cleaned up. More exterior pictures coming soon.

Sunroof is aftermarket, but DOES NOT leak. It's fully removable too.

I was finally able to get up close and personal with the red truck today. I also fixed several small things that bugged me. The underhood wiring and dash wiring is tidied up now, there were a couple circuits that were honestly kind of butchered, but it's fixed now. The bumper and trim could still stand to be replaced, but I sectioned in some trim so it looks much better. I touched up the paint on the custom side emblems (they say "SS 350"). I relocated the tach to the steering column and I refinished the stock radio filler panel.

I also got to drive it for a bit. It honestly runs and drives real sweet. It runs great, shifts great, stops great and goes down the road very smooth. As to be expected, the 295 tires do make it a bit darty on uneven surfaces.

The headers are the tri-y type. The dual exhaust has Flowmaster mufflers, and terminate before the rear axle. The stock manifold has been replaced with an Edelbrock unit. The starter is new looking. The injectors have a nice spray pattern. No smoke, no leaks.

These should be the last pictures unless somebody wants to see something specific. I don't plan on doing much else to the truck, it's pretty good.

Oh, except a front marker light. I'm going to get one to replace the missing one.
