Default Hello From Austin TX
Hi,

Long time listener (i come here often for how to's and hard to find parts references) first time caller. Currently own an 86 Manual (4+3) with the z51 option. Rescued it from a barn in a swamp in Louisiana. This vehicle will be modified quite exstensivley and a lot of stock (fully functional)_ parts will be removed and replaced with performance parts or discarded.

I would much rather just give these to someone in the area who need them, vs FB marketplace or craigslist. If you have ever sold car parts on FB marketplace you know what a nightmare that is.


anyhow nice to e-meet all of you
