    cheap-ish options for my 86

    I have a 1986 K10 suburban (carbed, OE quadrajet). I bought it last year, odometer shows 25xxx miles. I'm guessing based on vehicle condition that it's 125 or 225.

    plans have changed - need opinions

    So I bought an 86 k10 suburban back in December, with the plan of it being a secondary/weekend/builder truck. Something I could drive around and throw a few hundred bucks at here and there.
