Daryl came back out in the spring, BTW, in the craigslist photos, it was yellow/red two tone like the tailgate... When I showed up Daryl (the previous owner), was putting his last empty can of Krylon down.. I was a bit pissed about that, the price came down significantly lol.

I drove it around a bit, not alot, just enough to terrorize the neighborhood, put a Quickfuel Slayer carb on it, tuned it up, it ran well. Had 882 heads, a not stock solid cam, headers... Your typical little hot rod, maybe 300 hp, fun stuff.
Sanded on it and found some holes and bondo, nothing like Michigan, but enough to irritate me a little more lol.

I seem to have lost some pics, but I went all in, there was "surface" rust coming up through the rattle can primer because he had just sprayed over it previously. It would ahve wrecked the truck before long.
I shaved the drip rails and a spot where a CB antenna had been punched through the roof.

One day I was in the junkyard on unrelated business and happened across a curious thing in a 1500 Silverado.

The head casting number gave it away for me, made me look closer.

So in spite of the silly comments from people who clearly watched 3 seconds of the video before firing up the keyboard, it was a 6.0 and it was in a 1500, and it did come home with me
