Hello from Flint

[FA Line 1]

I started my GM career VanSlyke Rd. Flint on the half ton pickup line. I finished it in Bowling Green Assembly paint shop. Ordered the Big 10 Silverado stepside from Applegate Chevrolet in 79. Still have it in my garage. My best recollection I paid around 6,500 for it. Currently the 350 not running, body still in good shape as I didn't drive it in the winter. Getting interested in getting it rolling again. Joined here to consider re-power options. I'm sure you all have a wealth of knowledge more than me as I specialized in paint. I'm a big fan of my LS6 in my C5, still running great and uses no oil for 22 years.

Welcome from Ohio

Welcome from a fellow Michigander- my dad hauled cars for Bouthell/Ryder out of Flint. We lived in Atlas, just outside Goodrich before my parents divorced and my mom moved us to Waterford/Pontiac area.

LS6 eh? Sweet! LS version or OG big block?

The LS6 is in my stock Z06, just mentioned as it has been the best gas motor I have owned. The stock 350 in the C10 could be rebuilt. I didn't like it much for power or fuel mileage. So many options these days. I'm just getting started on inquiry. I haven't lived in Flint for a long time but get there often from Traverse City. When someone asked where someone was and we didn't know we would say gone to Goodrich.
