new To the site , first square body truck , first 4x4 .Always wanted one now I got one , me and the lady are gonna fix er up decent and thought this would be the best place to post about it , and get advice etc. and share the project with other square body owners ,
Here’s the thing , I’ve never really worked on anything really other than some easy general stuff , so imma need yalls help and experience.
Don’t know much about the truck other than it’s an 81 c1500 on the title , but is 4x4 , idk if it was originally a 4xr but it is now.
Has bow ties on the cab trim so that’s obviously changed , it’s basically Frankensteined but that’s ok with me , it’s all gm.
Has a crate 350 as far as I know , haven’t looked to see ifs it’s a 305 yet , I got duped on a Camaro like that once. Lol
Has a three sped trans , don’t know which one yet , but has a hurts slap shift , the annoying one where u have to lift and pull to go from p to rev, then push down etc it’s real annoying lol
Don’t know which t case
Has 12 bolt rear and 10 bolt front , pretty sure their Corp but no clue of the actual gearing.
Parts I have for it so far are :
Tac , oil , temp , and (volts- ( not connected)
Heater core and hoses
Wipers
Timing cover gasket kit
Oil pan gasket kit
Gear oil
Spark plugs and wires
Rotor button n dist cap

I took apart the starter and cleaned off the contacts etc
Tail lights , which I only needed the inner plate
And some other stuff I don’t remember that I’ll add later
Stuff I need
