years ago my dad owned a 77 chev 1 ton with a 3 inch lift and i loved it. had 33 inch tires but it rotted out and we parted it out.
i was going to buy this truck about a year ago for the cab for my other build but he wanted 1500 for it. so now that my 76 chev half ton needs a motor i thought bout this one. After i saw the shape its in and how nice it ran i cant part it out. it will be my dd when i get my N. ps, i got it for 800 bucks.
so what it is, is a 1980 long box with a late 70s front clip, 3\4 ton 4x4. all the rust in it is the cab corners, thats amazing for being down here. its got a 10 year old crate motor on propane that docent miss a beat, attached to a 10 year old trans witch all works great.
plans:
paint(will do in summer)
rear shackle flip
b52 kit upfront around 4 inch lift
twin stick 205
aluminum intake
35s
pretty up the interior a bit
what i have done already:
bald 33s off bigred #1
head ache rack
prepped for primer
on with the pics
ill post pictures of pictures of bigred #1 later.
thanks guys.
