LOVE IT!

If you have FB, add it to my page OLD AMERICAN IRON

I got my 87 PowerRam on there! It's flat black with red pinstripes. We pulled the originals off after we painted it.

Gotta love beaters, they are SWEET!

I will have to check out the FB that video is before the exhaust so straight headers i put a 3.73 12bolt with flip kit hence the back sitting lower the truck just got back from getting the exhaust done, brake job etc. Its currently up in the austin area and my bro in law is gonna trailor it down here for me to do the body work on and get it paint so there will be more pics and videos coming soon. That and i have to get new tires so im gonna burn the old tires off (video of course) and replace them.

Looks great.

I Love my 83 K-10 4x4. Need a complete engine overhaul, but it runs well. Going to get some Carb work done soon.

You look to have your AC removed as well? I want to put mine back in, too hot here without it during our everlasting summer temps.

What are you getting on gas? I probably get 9-10 mpg if lucky. Really hard to gauge because I also need to fix the gas sensor. My needle bounces all over the place.

Not sure about gas milage my needle bounces as well, and i am just now getting it around to putting it on the road, yeah no ac i run with the windows down. I have the compressor etc, but yanked it all out. I am figuring around 10-12mpg depending on my foot. It has a 3.73 running gears but a 700r4 built tranny so that should help some. I love the fact that it has saddle bags so that is nice except for the filling part and speaking of which i have to run 97 or better since my compression ratio is 10.5/1.
