mr.bigbock Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I wasnt really able to find an affordable comanche .... -_-. But i did manage to find a 1986 chevrolet 1500. Its a single cab short bed automatic 2 wheel drive with a 305. It origanaly it had the vortec. So its still left with the 3;0;8 gears. Wooo.... A whopping 5 or 6 miles per galloon... Only 98xxx miles on the body and frame. Not to sure about the engine...its kind of just...well there... Its in the proccess of getting the hole top half redone. But i hve some pretty good ideas for what i want to do to it. I think it would look good left as a rat rod. I want it flat black with pin stripes of the blue. And I'm not sure why but i think it would look good with the chrysler lebaron hood vents. But let me know what you guys think. and if you have any ideas i apreciate it Image Not Found Image Not Found mr.bigbock I'm not sure how to get the pics on so i guess u can just put that in the internet thing?

Pete M Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Here's a thread on picture posting. It can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. :thumbsup: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11077 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 A 1986 could not possibly have had a Vortec originally as the Vortec engines (SFI) didn't come out until 1996. I believe even TBI didn't come out till at least 1989. It may not have been a 305, but it would definitely have been carburated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bigbock Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yea. I talked to the guy about it and it had the 4.3. before and it does in fact have the 305 carburated. Its quite the nifty little project. itd be better standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bigbock Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Like i said before its a nice color but I'm thinking it would look better as a flat black. or something of the sort the cab corners are rotted and the rims in the back didnt come with it some I'm down to the steelies!!! id appreciate it more if it had the scotts dale trim ( chrome level trim) itd look alot nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bigbock Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 its a small block 305. The top end is getting redone. The cylinders and the valves were carbonized so they needed a good cleaning and its in that proccess. i have to buy a gasket kit and the valves need to be reseated. I have all of the parts Two- 4 barrel carbs One- 2 barrel carb Two- sets of iron heads Stock and Aftermarket exaust headers- A brand new muffler- And THE CHERRY BOMB off my old jeep!!!! And a bunch of different valve sets. I'm wishing the weather was a little better b.c its not in the garage. it is were it sits and in lawrenceville p.a its quite chilly but i will update my process !!! Thanks for the picture posting thread Pete!! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
