I guess we all see things a little different.

Its like me i had a 1964 3 ton 20 foot bob tail flat bed i drove it for 1 year until i parked it at a friend of mine cus i had no room for it.Some how some kids found it and destroyed it.They broke ever peace of glass took a brick to the instrument cluster opened the hood and beat the radiator to death Pured water in the motor broke off the gas cap pure sand in the gas tank..Any thing they could mess up they did found out when we where towing it home some one put nails in the Rear end the cap or plug that was there was not there.only thing they did not hurt was all 6 tires they jumped up and down on the roof and the hood.

Lets just say i cried for a week then i moved on.

My friend came back from vacation came over to my house when he saw the truck.He did not say one word all he did was put his truck in reverse spun the tires stopped long enough to tell me friend he;s going to go kick the **** out of his bother and his kids.


later that week Kevin show back up with his bother or what look like his bother.I found out that his bother got into a fight with his bother and when he went fishing for the week with family.He and his 3 kids took it out on my truck thinking it was some beat up old truck his bother bought for parts.

Kevin was a loss of words.What can you say its done.

But now i'm going to have good amount of funds soon to put 60K in to both trucks so 30K for each one.This is what i'm looking to do i've put out on the list to find people to tell me its a good idea or a bad one.

Not to sound stupid witch it will be.But I'm looking to invest into 2 of these old chevy trucks from the 1964-66 trucks.I'm not looking to keep the factory engines in them.I want to Up date to modern LS or Duramax.What are the pit falls of running these types of engines in these old trucks.

I'm looking to run hydro boost brakes Run the newer power steering box AC and run the Allison 6-9 speed.

My question's are can i make the 1980 and up front Ibeam work in my older truck cus i want to run disc brakes.

Do i need to update the rear end for the automatic trans or can i just use the one that came with the truck.it will be check cleaned and fixed if needed.

Would it do any good to run a Air bag system under the truck for handling and comfort.Just asking Questions
