Location: Angola, IN | I just got a piece of #*#* 1990 K1500. 350TBI. TH400. 14 Bolt Rear End. Bought it for $2000 last fall. Put another $2000 in it (plugs, wires, new distributor, belt, radiator, both front drive shafts, intake manifold gasket, rebuilt rear axle, and new front brakes: calipers, pads, and rotors).....plus all the little crap like new fuel filter, servicing the tranny, transfer case, and differentials, etc.
You can't beat those old Chevy's. Easy to work on. Cheap parts. I mean for $4000, I got a decent 4x4 truck.
Tranny is smooth as a baby's behind and the engine is plenty strong with just over 160k miles on her. Those old 350's are bullet-proof.
This truck pulls my SUPER HEAVY 1969 19' fiberglass Starcraft closed bow and vintage TeeNee trailer no problem 3.5 hours to LSC and 3.5 hours back....even when the rear end was howling louder than a polecat and the radiator only held about 1/2 full.  |
