well after all my awaited years, lingering behind the scenes and loathing every other truck builders build on this site, i finally said to myself, "self, why havent you got off your @$#$% and started on your build??" well here she is.. the lowley beginnings of what is to be awesomeness. haha keep posted. For starters, its a bare bones, rusty long bed truck. destiny found its way into my destructive... i mean constructive hands.. I converted it to five lug all the way around, swapped in 80's model front suspension and power brakes, a wrecked, low mileage 90's silverado lovingley voluntered its heart to the project. I swapped out the stock tbi, in favor of a tride, but true quadrajet, and a big cap HEI. along with changing the 700R4 over to a gear driven speedo. fast forward a bit.. decided to shorten her a bit, they say this has to be done under the cab? sounds like the beginnings of a frame off right?? RIGHT! lol now here we are today, two and a half years later... just getting her back together today, ready to crank and run... well the winter wasnt so friendly this year.. you guessed it... cracked the #&$%% block, OMG!! for petes sake! pics coming soon to a 67-72 trucks near you!
