1978 Big Ten, Big Block

[bohmankid]

New build thread. YEAH!!
I'm actually really excited about this build because I've been dreaming this truck up in my head for the past few years. I had been looking for a short bed, 2 wheel drive truck to build and have been having the hardest time finding one for under $2000 in the Salt Lake, UT area. I finally found one and bought it within 4 hours after it was put on the classifieds. I was about the 4th person to come look at it as well, good thing I had cash in hand!

ANYWAY, I'm rambling.
Without further ado, let me introduce you to the newest member of my driveway..

This is a 1978 Chevy short bed. Completely factory options and the vin checks out. It has a 454 big block, 12 bolt posi rear end, th400 trans. This is a BIG TEN (F44) package. This truck hauls nuts, I can't believe the guy wasn't asking more money. As I was testing out the posi rear end, I looked back to see smoke billowing from the fender wells and nice thick black marks on the pavement. Kinda like one of those awesome Mustang posters you used to hang up in your room as a kid, but it's an old ugly truck.

Pictures! I love pictures.
