Hi, my name is Dusty.
After driving a 1994 Toyota Celica for the last 2 years, and having a mid-life crisis (LOL), I sprung and bought an 82 GMC Sierra Classis LWB yesterday.
I missed having a truck for the last few years, and wanted something easy to work on and tinker under the hood.
Pretty much a one-owner truck, always in Alabama, NO RUST, Great/Straight body, and immaculate original interior!
I'm not much of a "Performance" guy, although I am anxious to get back under the hood, and maybe learn as I go along!
Here is what the details are on the truck and motor from the original CL ad:
305 C.I.D HO, Automatic trans. Power steering, Power disc brakes, Tilt steering wheel, Power windows and door locks, Factory air, Dual fuel tanks and dual exaust. Truck has 114k miles, but refurbished engine and transmission were installed at 98k miles. Engine has flat top pistons, 92 Camaro swirl port heads, .434 competition cam, Edelbrock intake with Quadrajet carb, and exaust headers. Air compressor is not hooked up.
------------------
It's been raining HARD here for 2 days,
so after buying it, I have only had a chance to drive it one mile home and park it, and don't know WHAT it will do if I really get into the throttle.
Just some quick opinions, does the motor build specs sound Ok?
Looking forward to learning all I can on here, and I will try to get some Pics up shortly!
