Here are a couple pictures of my baby. He is a 1976 Silverado trailering Special.
2wd 1/2 ton long bed. 454 with a automatic. This truck was special ordered by my grandmother in 76 and has never left the family. I partially restored him a few years back. Now that I have him in my full possesion full time I am going to finish him right. I have all of the origional trim on order and that will make him stock other than the rear bumper. The all white paint was a special order for the year also. Everything works perfectly from the dual battery system to the A/C.

wow nice truck.

transamman78 that is a very nice truck you have there! When you do decide on restoring "him" just make sure you take pictures of everything and make a build thread on here. Im sure everyone would love to see it including me! Oh and welcome from Texas!

[transamman78]

Thanks. Actually the only thing I need do do is put the origional trim on and clean up the suspension. We did a frame off about 4 yeaer ago but for some reason they put the different trim on. I will posat pics of the interior and engine bay next. I am thinking about putting the centercaps of of a late 60's camaro on him just to make a little change on the wheels. I think they should fit my origional wheels.

I noticed the front fender trim had squared corners instead of rounded, and I don't remember ever seeing that before, other than that and no black or gold stripe on the trim it looks original enough to me.

Nice truck. Had me in a 30 second stare trying to think what was plain as day 'different' until my mind engaged on the mirrors being tucked inward instead of outward! Nice touch!

Definitely a 'keeper' to enjoy!.

Thanks for the compliments!

It's an '83 21.5' Mini Daycruiser with a 460 Ford, Berkley Jet w/Evator. We just pulled the motor to reseal the jet to the hull, foundthe previous owner ported and gasket matched the heads, it has a Torker II intake, big cam, and a few other goodies. It'll do about 56mph on Lake Tahoe, not bad fpor such a big old *****!

The truck is a beast, I love that truck!

[MobSled]

That's a great looking truck, clean and straight lines and good job on the primer. Shoot I wish my primer job looked that clean hehehe.

Ya I've wanted a six for a while. It smokes a little blue, but it should run forever, it's about as simple and bullet proof as one of these trucks can get
Surprisingly, it has power steering and brakes and air conditioning everything is intact, but the controls in the cab don't work. Wouldn't it be something to get that working again

[tommie]

here is my new one....

1975 lwb 454 big block truck th400 fact a/c (will be getting the rallys to put on here soon...)
