Been on this board for a while, but just got my first SFA Chevy. All of my past trucks have been IFS. Found this on Craigslist down here in AZ.
Edit: The craigslist ad has been deleted, I'll post some pics when I get em.
I'll post more pics in a week or so. This thing is unbelievably clean. The guy owned it for 7 years and the truck belonged to a friend of his before that. They went through everything on the truck during the time they had it. The motor is a mild 350 with an RV cam, Performer intake, Edel Q-jet, and HiPo HEI. The truck has headers and flows on it, and no cats from the factory- though it does have AIR. The entire drivetrain has been rebuilt over the years. It's a 465/205 and has a newer clutch. The only problem that I found is a front main leak, but nothing too bad. Every part has it's reciept and has lifetime replacement. He told me flat out, "I've worked this truck, but it's never been abused." I believe him. You could tell he cared about his vehicles, and was getting rid of this one to thin out the herd. It even has A/C and a decent sound system. It's pretty much how I'd build it myself.
It needs tires, I plan on throwing some 33 12.5 15 BFG AT's on it with some 15X8 steelies, and finding a winch to put on it- the bumper is ready for one. After that I'll probably just drive it for awhile.
I've wanted one of these for a loooooong time, and I can't believe how clean this thing is for the age. The only rust anywhere is a fist sized spot behind the pass rear tire. That's it.
I vision a D60, Roller cam motor, and Hydro NV4500 in it's future, and possibly FI- TPI, or perhaps a very simple TBI setup with a custom chip that uses the factory HEI so that I can bolt a carb on it and go if I'm out in the sticks and have any problems. I'd also like to lift it 4"-6" using all of ORD's stuff, including crossover and put some 35's on it. That will all be down the road a ways. I got it for less than he was asking too, though not by much. I think he gave me a deal simply because he knew that I'd treat this truck right. I think I'll go pinch myself again...
