Papa’s Truck

1990 Chevy C1500
I had an 88 1/2 ton short box, GMT 400 with the TBI 350 and the 5 speed. It'd burn them off through third gear no problem.

My brother had an 89 with the 350 and 700R4.... that thing would absolutely boil the tires. I miss that truck.
 
Engine is smooth as butter. Gave it a bit of throttle and it pinged a couple of times and then smoothed out. I’ve got new plugs to swap in.

AC compressor isn’t kicking on but it may just be low on charge. All fan speeds and modes work.

50ish psi of oil pressure. Bout 14 volts charging. Dunno if the temp gauge is working. It never came up but I didn’t run it that long. Gas gauge is showing empty but I only put 5gal in it. Fuel pressure is showing 10psi on the gauge.

Blinkers don’t work. No tail lights or brake lights. Low and high beams work. Looked like the dash lit up with that old school green back light. Radio turns on but no buttons work.

Right rear drum is sticking. Can’t see any fluid so I’m guessing rust. Transmission shifted nicely through the gears.
