Hey guys, glad to be around here! I've always wanted to get an older vehicle to tinker around with, and now looks like I finally have it. I traded it for my '97 Eclipse GST that I had about 3k into, purchase price included. This truck came with some goodies, however.

Engine:
454 Big Block V8 (Crate Motor)
Bored 60 over
Edelbrock 600/650cfm carb (unsure)
Edelbrock Pro-Flo air cleaner
Jegs intake
Chrome valve covers
Long tube headers
Cherry bomb mufflers dumped at back axle (not a big fan of the sound)
Accel distributor w/ wires

Transmission:
Turbo 400 Trans w/ shift kit

Body:
Trim has been removed, no plans to reinstall
Rally wheels
Passenger side gas tank was removed, only has drivers side (weird right?)

Perks:
Tinted windows
Electric windows
Working A/C (blessings in disguise)
Custom Autometer Pro-Comp cluster
Grant GT Steering wheel


And here are a few pictures of my new baby:

Hope you guys enjoy looking at it as much as I do. She's a great little commuter. Gas guzzler, but I don't mind it a bit. Lol
 
Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. That truck must be pretty quick, huh? It must sound great as well. That's a big motor...
 
Haha it's got a little get up and go. Right now it's actually starving for fuel due to a smaller carb on it, but should be replacing it with a bigger Holley brand carb. Once that's fixed, should be ready to reach it's full potential. And thanks for the positive feedback!
