Re: 1984 swb c10

No new pictures, but figured I would update anyhow! So far, I have put new shocks on on all four corners, and new brake pads up front. New windshield has been put in, and I finally got it inspected.

I have cruised it around yesterday and today, and it drives pretty well! It sure as heck feels like an old farm truck though. Stiff as can be! Hopefully this will be changing soon though! The quadrajet is pretty worn it seems. It likes to bog at times when opening up the secondaries, and it tends to idle a little high as if the throttle plate is sticking. I also put a new set of plugs and wires on it and removed most of the emissions stuff.

Nothing else has been done so far. I picked up a nice '76 C10 for the boy's first truck and we have been wrenching on it to make it street worthy. It is now good to go, so back to this truck!

I just ordered a bunch of goodies for it tonight, and should be here soon! Here is a list of what is coming:

Hedman 69890 Elite Headers
Holley 4160 600cfm carb
Holley square bore to spread bore adapter
Holley Transmission Kickdown Bracket
Holley Carb Jet Kit
Proform air cleaner kit
Moog OEM replacement coil springs
Western Chassis 2.5in drop spindles
Western Chassis 4in. drop leaf springs
