snowmoboyle 33 #28 Posted June 23, 2015 Sounds like you have a solid plan in place.. Is that your driveway in the photo above? if so, you have got the right machine to get the job done. it looks knda long! It is, and the reason I was happy to find the 88' 520 with the two stage/cab. We just moved her in Feb '14, the "best" winter we've had in a long time. I had nothing to handle the driveway, landlord lives next door and kept it cleared out with his plow truck. Going into the winter of Fall '14 I was set, also paid the township $100 to plow however they do - didn't expect much for that price for the year! Turns out, every time they plow, they will come through the driveway, and wing it back, all the way up, turn around, and all the way out - only area I need to worry about is where the two cars are parked. So I actually planned on using the $35 walk behind I picked up this spring HAHA! Only kind of driveway I want from now on - barely hear the cars go by on the gravel road... about 600' away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snowmoboyle 33 #30 Posted June 25, 2015 Ahh the ol' Chev. That thing I bought in 2002, summer before I got married (1st time, on second marriage now and found the right girl this time). It originally from Oregon -- was owned by a grandpa, he passed, grandkid in east-central wisconsin inherited it. he did a quickie paint job, put headers on and short 3" exhaust on both sides, and the rims. Drove it a few years, sold it to another grandpa guy. This guy had it for a couple years, and then sold to me. Motor was tired, but it was a fun summer toy. Christmas 05 (divorced that summer) dad cheered me up with a new motor put in it. Now it growls.... It does have some snort to it, a mild build 350. Could use an extra gear in that turbo 350 lol. It's a 1970 2wd C20 - Custom Camper edition. had the extra little door on the lower passenger side of the box for storage. it's got some rust now, body is so so, something is going to fall off and cause me to park it but I just can't sell it. I have a line on a 84 K5 Blazer for cheap, with supposedly 54k miles on it... would be a nice donor to put this 350 in.... Hmmmmm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a 69 C10 with the three on the tree powered by an '86 350 that I warmed up a few years back. It really is a blast to drive but 6-8 miles per gallon gets old fast. maybe if you could upgrade to a 700R4 it would feel better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh it would, just out of my mechanical bounds, and the funds are never there or worth it in my mind - it's the always true story, if I did actually sell it I'd kick myself later, but if I dont it'll probably end on blocks with the "someday I'll fix it up" theory lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it does, I have a few extra parts in a box that I know must come into play yet - it was never used so I am unsure completely how it does end up working with the belt, etc. I figured it might lift too but it doesn't appear that way?
