[Will]

Back up for sale!

Truck is a 1978 Chevrolet c10 silverado. Truck is very solid with a decent (red) interior. Light surface rust on hood/roof/bedrails (has great patina)

Have a 2002 5.3L to drop in. LS1 car oilpan/tray/dipstick, Dirty dingo conversion mounts, Fbody long tubes, reworked harness and ecu tuned for standalone. Good th350 and 12 bolt in the truck.

Currently on rally wheels

Wheels are 18x10 Weld Draglite XPs, with brandnew lug nuts and center caps. Need tires.

This truck is lacking little pieces to finish up the swap, all the big stuff is there minus fuel system.

Asking $2500 for everything. Picked up in Bartlett, TN.

Will sell without welds for 2,000.

Interested in trade for vintage camper(18'-26'), guns, etc. Need this gone by spring!

Truck is clean and would be fun with a 5.3! Wish I were in a spot to be able to buy and finish it for sure.

Specs on both? If this guy doesn't pick it up on friday (heard that one before) I may split up the truck and 5.3L with all the swap stuff. Probably ask a g-ball for each.

I would love to keep it but.
- The sierra is pretty much project status. Plus just keeping up maintenance on 5 vehicles is a bitch.
- Since kiddo #2 is here, cruising the truck with the family won't ever happen. Square crew isn't out of the question down the road.
- I don't have the funds on hand to build it how I want and hate to see it just sitting there.
- Need the parking space for a camper so I can start taking the little ones out and about.

Nothing fancy but I will FB message you after work dewd. I don't use them anymore so they are just sitting.

Sounds good. Are you keeping the th350 in the truck? You just want the motor or do you want to make some kind of deal for everything I have for the swap; motor, flat flex plate, standalone harness/pcm, conversion mounts, fbody oilpan (truck pan hangs lower than the c10 crossmember), longtubes, etc?

 

[mike.]

I have no motor or trans lol bought without. And I like deals
