Cool truck. I'm going to call the seller this afternoon and make it official. I'm just wondering if it has a posi rear. I didn't crawl under the back end because the guys dumpster was leaking some foul water.
What motor do you have in the gasser? I am going to buy this truck, its only $2500 and in great shape. This will be my 8th square body Chevy. It has a solid 350 in it, so I expect it to pull my trailer better then my m1008. It looks just like the one in your picture.
I know this is off topic for the site, but I like the knowledge base here. I am about to buy a 1986 c30 dump. It has a 350 with a 4 speed. Overall its in great condition. I am having trouble finding specs on it, particularly towing capacity. Does anyone here have experience with these trucks? I...

Another thing to consider, check your heater fuse. If its corroded, or a cheap (harbor freight) fuse it can make the gen1 light come on even though the heater is working.
Well I took the fuel return valve and broke the glass ball out. Now its running perfectly. It was full of rust colored debris. I will source an injection pump asap though because it must be going bad if there's that much crap floating around in there. Hopefully it will hold up for a couple...
Yes I thought that. I ran it without the air filter and there was no difference. I looked in the intake with a light but I can't see anything out of the ordinary.
