Mine ran a little warmer, but I have a Big Block in mine. You can put a cooler thermostat, or check to see what your fan relay is.

The black ring with one prong on the drivers side of the transmission should be for the kick down,

You bought a $2500 paint job with a free truck thrown in.

I have to agree with Donkey... lose the wheels.

I just pull off a toenail with pliers and give myself a kick in the sack before I say anything good about you.
Yeah big wheels don't belong on trucks. Big wheels are good for one thing... dogs to piss on.

Why wouldn't you keep it I had a super rusty 76 years ago and regret getting rid of it then a few years ago I got my current previously rusty 87 and have pieces of an 80 k20, 89k5 and an 89 R3500 C&C. lol it's an addiction

Will likely

Actually paint is little runny in places but I’m not complaining. I agree about the wheels but not priority right now.

Welcome nice truck. It goes in the transfer case. Only thing I'd change on that truck would be the wheels.

I agree with that

Ok here's something to fight about, the best size is 16.5. Really... it's science don't argue. You know how everything good never sticks around? Of course the problem is the lack of rubber choices on this superior wheel size(their attempts to phase it out perhaps..?). But alas one of the very best ever truly all terrain tire, the famous BFG AT, is still in production.

If you see a set (a mountain man SET = 4) of those wonderful old school alum slotted muscle car type rims, but in 16.5 x 9.250 8 bolt please scoop 'em for me. We'll figure out shipping later. And we'll figure out payment later too!

Im dying to have ol school aluminum slots on my c10 and btw my personal opinion, I F'in HATE BFG AT's, bfg as a whole wears out way too quick (no matter what kind) and i had a pair of at's on a blazer and they were WORTHLESS!! Ive done better with used all seasons over BFG AT's everytime.
