Fun to Drive, recently finished Custom Chevy Pickup. New Vanilla Cream paint, Tilt Hood, Finished and fast. Everything works.

Description, starting with ground up restore-build:

Truck started life as a 1967 C20 Pickup with a chevy V8 and long wheelbase. The project to rebuild/customize the truck retaining the trailing link suspension, started with changing it from a LWB frame to a SWB frame using a Z cut method for strength and alignment. Strongest method for frame shortening generally used. All the original short frames are disappearing.

A 1980 Chevrolet C10 cross member added Disc Brakes, Power Steering and 5 lug wheels to the front end. The steering column from the 1980 was used. The rear end from a 6 lug, 12 bolt 3.73 gears and a LockRight Locker (Richmond 1910 LR) was installed. The original C20 Trailing Arm link were used to connect the differential in place.

Power comes from a Buick 455 CI big block engine, built to 464 CI. The heads are 0780212, and the block is 1231738. Transmission is a Muncie 4 Speed. Gas tank is mounted between the frame rails at the rear of the bed. Access to fill the tank is through the gas neck on the floor of the bed near the rear. (You may note that all safety features are in place to run on the drag strip.... Heee! Heee!) Again, C10 running gear on a C20 1967 frame.

The body encompasses a Front End tilt hood, for easy access to engine tuning. There is no rust in the truck, it is a finished vehicle and looks good. Straight body shown off well by the paint application. Black accents on the grille. Black Interior all finished with copper accents on the dash (See the pictures) New windshield and gasket on front. Sought after small glass rear window.
