Howdy hey . name is sid (call me what cha like just not late fer dinner ) thanks for letting me in the door
Ive two trucks one a 77 chevy no bed oil burner and a 84 gmc just picked up for $325 had an engine fire. currently got it running. but it burned up a lot of rubber stuff . pulled the carb off and i installed an extra i had from a previous 84 chevy i junked out
Trying to figger out why she's burning a lot of fuel (smoke out tail pipes ) I just could not pass up that deal. Bought it for parts but ended up making her run.
any who im in Arkansas (yes i mowed the grass and found a car:) ) im working on both rigs and i cant stand the seat placement (im a fat guy ) it sure is tight fitting in that cab on both trucks. been workin on rigs for 30 plus years off an on.
looking forward to reading a lot an probably picking up a few more ideas....

Welcome from NW AZ Sid!
Both your rigs look nice, I'm a '75 through '81 squarebody owner previously, fun trucks to work on. Looks like you'll have plenty of hours in on both of them.

Hi Sid, welcome! Ah, the prices you can get square bodies in the US! That makes me jealous.. I'm just about 5000 miles away from AR and at that distance a nonworking burnt engine SBC would be couple of thousands $$$ >.<

Thanks for the welcomes. ya i got bot rigs running . the one with no bed is a daily driver. the other one that i just picked up is in pretty good shape. just that dog gone carb is bad and i need to yank out that cat from the exhaust. in the mean time while waiting on funds for new carb im tracing wires trying to rebuild that harness .
