sup everyone. just wanted to introduce myself. CPL Baker, Stephen M. currently in deployment #2 in afghanistan. have wife and 3 year old daughter. i drive a 06 hyundai tiburon I4 and i joined because i used to have a 1963 chevy c-10. which my grandfather now has. he bought it for me when i was 16 for 300 bucks and i destroyed the original 283 ,/cry, and replaced with a 300 dollar 350 that a guy round town had just sittin' on the ground. said it was out of a early 80's chevy, don't know what. the truck still runs. has rust here and there. i worked it for about 2 years and just couldn't afford to mess with it. gas prices and all. he uses it for a "work" truck. he had one way back and i think he just wants to keep it to rebuild. i'm hoping to find some info on here on stuff i can help em out with. i know a bit bout motors but not everything by far. i know that it has a quadrajunk carb on it atm and i'm looking at replacing that. hopefully get some help on that here. also the wiring is a bit worse for wear. hopefully find something to help me out there too. anyways. that's me and my story, glad to be here!!

 

Glad to have you aboard and let me take the time on Memorial Day to sincerely thank you for your service.

Thanks for the good words about the truck, click on "New Post" and you will see some mud truck pictures and a video link under "Sights and Sounds"

 

Welcome to the forum! glad to have ya here.

Like Mudmaniac said, "Thank You" for your service!!! We look forward to helping in any way we can, just ask away, there is plenty of good info buried here as well.

 

Welcome to the forum. A big thanks for defending the United States.
That 350 could have come out of a number of things. If it has a low-rise spreadbore intake, its most likely a Camaro engine.

 

Thanks for your service my friend and welcome to the forum!! I would look at replacing your Quadrajet Carb. With an Edelbrock 650, it's a good upgrade!! Also when you get some time post some pics to look at. It sounds like a sweet truck! Have a great Memorial day and once again thank you for your service!

 

thanks for the welcome all. i'll look into that too suzukiguy. thanks for the tip. i'll try to find some pics, but like i said, lol. i'm in afghan, trucks in grandfathers hands atm. back in good ol' tn. but i'll send what i can find. my plans for it are to just get it running well atm. nothing special. eventually i'd like to strip it down and build it back up with him. try to make it like his old one he had back in the day ya know? thanks all!!
