Hey everyone,
FNG here. Well, new to the forum, but not to square bodies. I was without a square for awhile but recently picked up a 79 C10 Silverado with the 305, auto and 2wd.
The body is in pretty good shape and doesn’t need any work. So far the only thing I’ve done mechanically is replacing the power steering pump. I also replaced the instrument/gauge lights with red LEDs and replaced the gauge lens, replaced the lock cylinder and ignition switch, and replaced the gear indicator. The dash stuff was more cosmetic but it’s made the driving experience more enjoyable. I was having to turn the key super far to get it to crank so replacing the ignition replacement was necessary.
I’m just going to keep driving ‘er for now, maybe lower the truck a little further down the road.
Looking forward to being part of the forum!
