zeitgeist57 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I just installed a new distributor in hopes of getting the engine to catch, but to no avail. I've about had it with this monster, and I don't have the patience to deal with getting this truck (if I can sell it smile.gif ) 1986 Chevy C-10 (2WD) fullsize pickup. 8ft bed. >>>4.3L Vortec V6 (4bbl Q-Jet carb.) >>>3spd manual tranny with 2.73 rearend (great gas mileage and highway cruiser) >>>No rear bumper, but Class 5 hitch included Old Ohio Highway Dept. truck (bright yellow with serial numbers on the fenders and sprayed-over stickers on the doors) This thing is redneck-pimp and that's why I bought it smile.gif GOOD: either 66k or 166k on the truck, and the engine and tranny work very well. It was taken good care of internally. Hardly any rust through. >>>NEW 31x10.5" Goodyear Tires and 15x8" chrome American Racing wheels >>>Custom tube grille and black-out headlight surrounds. >>>New valve seals, gaskets on upper half of engine. Carb rebuilt. New PS pump, wiper motor, newer floor shifter, seat cover, belts, fluids in tranny, engine. BAD: Recent electrical gremlin not letting the engine catch (turns over and over, but no spark ) Driver's door heavily dented (works though), and similar dent on bed behind cab. Some rust on cab floor, and surface rust on frame. Needs new inner fender wells in front ($80, that's it) Good, solid truck that just needs a little attention to get running reliably again. I am just about out of patience. Looking to get $750 firm, as I can donate it for a $1200 tax writeoff otherwise. Any takers? EDIT: Also looking to possibly trade for stick-shift pickup truck or 4x4 truck that RUNS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 If so...it's been the best 266k any vehicle has ever traveled smile.gif I may be keeping it...my newest possible fix would be a new computer. $87 bux brand new from Advance Auto smile.gif I'll let people know unless someone comes up with a trade or cash!
