My 69 SWB build up!
I thought I would just go ahead and start one of these things up here. I'm pretty new to message boards so bare wit me on this one
![]() The last owner bought it for his son (16th b-day present and lucky kid!). After 2 years he blew the motor. Ran low on oil and broke a rod. Everything in the motor was blue...major heat! ![]() So far I got rid of the small block/4 speed combo and put in my 468 BBC/TH400 combo. I have installed silver Autometer sportcomp gauges in the factory dash. I bought a junk 72 donor and took the disc brake setup and installed on my truck...not fun by the way! I also swapped rear ends also. Went to a 5-lug setup. Right now everything is just sitting in the truck not bolted in...except the motor..it's all mounted up! Eventually I will tear the truck all the way down and do a frame up. For now, I just want to play with it ![]()
