What's the going price on a good 305 engine these days ?
Yep, I agree. Whether because of stereotype and/or much better alternatives, they haven't held much value. 15 years of working on GMs during the era I can count on one hand the # of 307s someone spent good money on, trying to turn it into something it wasn't meant to be.- GTX63

What's the going price on a good 305 engine these days ?
I am old enough to have run a few 307s when they were still in their original vehicles. Oil burning, low power, valve stem wearing, 2 barrel pooches. It was easier to recognize a 307 as it passed by the blue haze following than trying to read the badge on the fender. But they started without...- GTX63

86" K-10 Values
Folks can check facebook marketplace for numbers using keywords like c10/k10 Cheyenne Silverado square body etc and you can get an idea for your area. I agree, stock or close to OE will give you the most return. Few are looking looking for a triple rusted, multicolored frankenado with 17... -
86" K-10 Values
Post pics if you can. In the past 6 months I have picked up a butchered and clapped out 85 K10 with a straight clean body for $3500, an 80 K15 GMC with more rust than metal but a strong drive train for $2500 and a 79 Bonanza for $1200 that sat for 2 years, clean body but no keys, title and a... -
What did you pay for a square
Down here in Tennessee, $7500 is about the going rate for a square body that runs and has shiny paint. It doesn't matter that the interior is red and the body is blue; doesn't matter if it takes the same patch panel to repair "surface rust" as the truck you can reach into the quarter panel with...- GTX63

New motor... from 250 to 350
One of our square bodies (1980) was originally a 6 cylinder that was swapped for a 350 just before we bought it. The guy had the oe exhaust manifolds, pumps and accessories from the truck the V8 came from, so, other than new motor mounts and some hoses, exhaust pipe and mufflers, his out of...- GTX63

Will do. We also have an 85 K10 Silverado we'll be tearing down and bringing back to life over the winter and spring. Thanks again.- GTX63

1980 Sierra K15 NP205 Stuck In Neutral
I'll try to post some pics if I get another chance. I parked it in our barn away from the house. I don't plan on putting the front shaft back in for some time as the bed and front clip will be coming off and prep and body work begin. Amazingly, the owners manual was still in the glovebox.- GTX63

1980 Sierra K15 NP205 Stuck In Neutral
WD40 to the rescue. I pulled the boot from inside the cab, checked the bolts connecting the shifter to the linkage and sprayed from top to bottom. Worked everything back and forth for about 5 minutes. Started the truck, kept the transmission in neutral and kept working it until I felt the truck...- GTX63

1980 Sierra K15 NP205 Stuck In Neutral
Lol. You are correct. It was originally a 6 banger that had a crate 350 installed unknown years ago. It has been a farm truck until the 83rd owner bought it 2 years ago. He couldn't get it out of 4wd so he just drove it around his 7 acres like that. I assumed it was a 205 but I didn't confirm...- GTX63

1980 Sierra K15 NP205 Stuck In Neutral
Brought a 1980 GMS Sierra Grande home last week. It is a project for my son and I. The guy told us that the transfer case was stuck in 4D High. I drove it on the trailer without issue. After we got it home, my son pulled the front driveshaft. I tried to back it off the trailer and it will not...- GTX63
