1980 Chevy C10 - Ugly but Functional

[skyphix]

Its snowing here AGAIN, and will turn to rain/ice tonight, with more snow tomorrow night. On the order of 10" over the next couple of days is possible.

I've been doing some mock ups for little things like my gauge cluster tablet and bluetooth speaker, but since my garage flooded and the weather hasn't been cooperating to get it cleaned out, I can't even set up a small welding station out there, or even set up my engine stand to get the L59 out of the Yukon and swap out the exhaust manifolds.

I did find a local place that has some used tires in a size that will work on the front for me. 235/65/17 - about a 29" tall tire. I am using a 30" tall tire in the rear. I am pretty confident the 235/65/17 will fit in the front since I have gobs of room with a 235 cross section 29" tall tire right now, even with a spacer to help clear my drop spindles. I won't need the spacer with the new wheels. Used tires were a cheaper way to make sure of that before I buy a matching set front and rear.

I'm trying to sell my motorcycle, and my 4runner to help fund this project and some maintenance/repair on the 4 season daily drivers, and eliminate some debt so I can pick up a new (used) 4 season daily this fall (04-07 CTS-V.)

Frustrated at the moment with no progress, but figured I'd update this for anyone following.

You keep that s&#$ up there. Pick whatever 4 letter "S" work you want for that. I've had enough for one year.

CTS V for an all season car. That could be fun to drift around in when the white stuff falls.

Trust me, we've called it worse things than any S word in the last week or so. Ended up with 6" of snow (and the flu) yesterday.

I just had a job change which puts me driving a lot less, and I figure with a good set of snows the CTS-V makes the perfect winter vehicle, hah! 400hp and rwd makes the most sense for for sure.

I will probably wind up getting a beater truck/SUV as well but thats only for really bad days when I have no choice but to go out. My career actually allows me to work from anywhere, so if I cant make it into the office, its not that big of a deal.
