Hello. Just bought my first bow tie last week. I have always been a Ford Mustang man, and still am to this day, but love the square bodied GM trucks. She is a 1981 C10 Silverado in excellent original condition with 122,000 miles on the 350 and auto transmission with 3.43 rear. I was surprised that it drove like a Cadillac on the highway. Just put in new valve cover gaskets, and had her inspected. The only thing I can say negative about the vehicle, is the placement of the distributor. In the back of the engine? :eek:
Glad to be here!

Welcome. You'll eventually get used to the distributor being in the proper location. Lol.

I see you're in Arlington. I'm also from the Northern VA area and am also new to the Square Body squad with a 1986 K10.
