my 1986 silverado build (aka trick or treat)
 
i bought my truck last year for $2000.

it wasnt the nicest truck but i liked it, but it needed some work.

the paint on it was old and was just left out in the weather for to long, it had a 305 in it and it wasnt very strong.
the 305 blew up when me and my father were pulling a car trailer.
the trans was going out also.
we rebuilt the 700 trans but it still wasnt right, we put a 350 crate engine in it later on out of another 86 we had that was crashed awhile back.

then i decided to paint the light bezels and the grille and the rallies black.
later on i bought a cowl hood, rollpan, billet grille, and a bedcover from lmc truck.

we just put a new trans in and added a 4barrl and new radiator.
now about all thats left is a new seat.
im trying to find two bucket seats or a late model bench seat with console.

i plan on lowering it later down the road and put different wheels on it.
maybe add racing stripes or two tone it, now sure yet.
