Possible New Truck

[chevyridinhigh79]

I went and looked at a 1979 K10 Shortbed tonight. Its got a 383 Stroker, SM465, NP205 w/ a slip yoke eliminator kit, D60 & a 14BFF. Its got 285/85/R16 Bridgestone Duelers up front and 7.50/16 Goodyear Workhorses out back. The body is pretty solid with the exception of the dents and the bedsides. The steering is tight and the brakes seem good. Its got a new clutch and its inspected. The frame is solid everywhere except the steering box area. The owners asking $1600.00, but what do you guys think?

383 Stroker and the Seats

wow man nice. Just make sure the frame is straight. If you pass let me know why and where it is so i can pick it up. Nice find.

 

[YZEATER]

does it actually have a d60 in it. i seen that for sale. and the guy said 3/4 ton axles??

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

yeah its got a D60. it originally had 1/2 tons w/ 44's

 

[YZEATER]

if i had some extra cash laying around, i'd have to go get it.

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

i believe the belts are squeeling but when i checked them they seemed tight.. any internal problems with an engine that could sound like belts squeeling?

 

[YZEATER]

check the oil?

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

i'll check it when i go back. do you happen to have any good tires for 16" or 16.5" wheels cause i'll need some this winter if i grab the shortbed
