First off, thanks Jim for letting me use this forum as it's not really 1st gen related. Maybe there is someone out there that knows someone or may have what I'm looking for. See end of ad for details. Thanks again Jim.

Ok, This is an 85 S10 shortbed backhalf truck. Truck is TRACK ONLY, but with lots-n-lots of work, I'm sure it could be put back on the street....it has the bare minimum of everything to save weight. Speaking of which, she weighs in at around 2700.

~Every single fastener holding things together on this motor is all ARP, studs on heads
~Motor runs flawlessly. Motor pulls frikkin hard to 8k (limiter). I imagine this motor will spin 9500 very easily.

~Has a junky 4spd shifter that's been converted to work a glide in it, I have a nice B&M Pro-Stick that needs to be installed
~Custom built driveshaft 1350 joints
~External cooler w/tiny fan
~Runs on regular DEX III, I think the stall is still a little low, so I opted not to use 303
~Tranny works perfect

The motor has 6 runs total, the tranny has the same since a freshen up. Converter has 3 runs...all runs were test hits with no full out runs. Out of those runs, the best the truck pulled was a 1.48x 60' and a 4.28x 330' all on minimal 32* of timing.....never did a full 1/8th mile run, but I believe the truck will run a solid 6.70 the way it is and possibly into the 6.40's after some timing, carb tuning, and suspension adjustment. May even get into the 5's with a small amount of spray (motor will not take much)

Note: Alternator needs to be mounted. Also, the shifter needs to be installed. Otherwise, truck is awesome and fast for what it is. Needs very minimal to finish. Uses approx 1 gallon of fuel per run. Never had a cooling problem, truck launches very strait and true.

Asking 9500 OBO. No title as this is a race truck. VIN is still there and I have a carfax report on it....no problems ever.

Walk around vid....I have since installed Goodyear slicks, painted the tailgate, removed the stickers and added a roll pan ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVV99ClYAVs

This video is a 1.50x 60 foot run. Still a test hit -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuxPVetBXSU

As for trades, the ONLY thing I will trade for is a 69 Pontiac GTO or 69 Pontiac Lemans I can make a GTO out of....1969 ONLY! Trade value is higher of course. Does not have to be original, but needs to be complete and a decent driver that I will not be embarrassed to drive. I DO NOT WANT A PROJECT! I'm trying to find a car to paint and fix up for my dad so I can give it to him on his birthday. He bought a new one back in the day and about a year before I was born (78) it was totaled due to a hit and run driver, I caught him looking at old goats online a few months ago, and since then I have been thinking about making this happen. He told me that it was a 69 GTO, standard headlights, green with a white vinyl top, 400/400 non-AC car with a white interior.

Call/text if you have any questions 512-748-1289

Thanks,

~Joe
