relish looks good whats your plans for it or are you going to leave it how it is?

I might be getting a 69 shortstep side tonight for a wheeler because i keep breaking the long bed

and nice collection can we see some pics.

[onlyifihadachevy]

I now own a yellow 69 short stepside and a white 72 long fleet, both 4x4.
i just got the 69 800 no motor but one will be in it this weekend and a dmv fee for it being not regristered this year but its worth it.

[rckclmbr99]

[snoman]

so after having my engine rebuilt the truck was back at the shop last weekend and finally got it back today, with a brand new edle brock carb and manifold. truck runs like a totally new truck now, except for the gears.

[Mayo]

Not a bad looking truck Relish.

[Relish]

My plans are to get it running, swap it to a 4 barrel carb, get headers and put 3 inch exhaust with cherry bomb glasspacks for now.

[onlyifihadachevy]

nice and rck i hope you win so the 67-72 chevys don't look bad.

[snoman]

crap today as im driving i started smelling gas, nothing unnormal, but then a burning smell came from under the hood, and my gas gauge is getting lower by the min. i pull over and see that the fuel line has burst a litle. crazy after all that work and money, the guy couldnt have put a new fuel line when they rebuilt the engine and put and new/different carb and manifold

I have the redneck wannabees and ffa wannabe "ranchers" at my school. They all have to have tan and black '95 broncos along with shiny new work boots and stupid trucker hat off to the side and not actually fitted to their head. But I have to say, i'd rather associate with them than the average new bmw/benz owning kids here. They are real pricks. I am actually a redneck by birth, look up Lumberton, Tx I would much rather be in hickville with trees and land like we had than the suburbia prairie i'm in now. And the typical lifted truck here is a spankin new '09 crew cab half or super duty with 20,000 in suspension, wheels and tires. This guy for example goes to my school, tried to scare me and run me over every day when I have the right away on the main road and he was getting out of the parking lot etc... My theory is that it would be his fault and would help speed up the process of getting a paint job. Plus if he runs all the way over I could get a cowl hood look up the black gmc crew cab on this link and check out the sweet 10 bolt rear he has with those tires.... http://www.extremekaty.com/fig/index.html And if they by chance have dust on their truck from driving by a construction site they leave it on there for weeks to prove how hardcore their big 4x4 is.

[72chevyfleet]

well im gonna be a sophmore and my truck isnt running yet
(no motor hopefully by sep) but heres what it looks like

[Relish]

well i got my truck running today after rebuilding the carb and getting a new gas tank. once we got it running me and my dad each got a milk crate for a seat and drove from the gas station to my house and back to the station. i found out that milk crates make good temperary seats.

[S.B.C.RedNeck]

i got one im restoring and will be driving it to school next year.

[oldblue1968chevy]

got any pix sbc redneck? ya goin frame off of wat?

[marc70chevy]

i just graduated highschool, but my junior year i drove my 1983 chevy, then sold it and bought the 1970 i have that i drove to school my senior year. i have done everything on my own, my father believes it teaches me a life lesson or something like that.. i dk lol, but i am pretty proud of what i have done. all the work was also done by myself on both trucks. i also started a car club with some of my friends called H.M.H.R. meaning home made hot rods. it was pretty fun, but now they're all going to college and i'm going to the navy.. i have pics of both on cardomain, just click the link to see it

[marc70chevy]

relish, i like your truck, that will make a great sleeper, don't make it look good lol, put performance first. what size engine do you have?

[marc70chevy]

here is something yall should like. Hot rod magazine has a 71 chevy truck they made a sleeper out of that they put on their website. i have read this article so many times i practically have it memorized lol. Here is the link http://www.hotrod.com/projectbuild/1...ine/index.html

[Relish]

marc70chevy, my truck has a 307 in it. i liked the aricle from hot rod on the sleeper c10. your current truck looks good and your old truck also looked good.

[marc70chevy]

snoman, what size carb did you get and what brand, and what kind of intake manifold

['72customdeluxe]

that sleeper article said that the low option half ton lwb was 4400 pounds. I'm wondering where they hid the lead? A new (Chevy of course) lwb is just barely that much?

[marc70chevy]

thats how much they weigh. my 1970 lwb says it weighs 4400

Hey everyone. Alot of nice trucks on here. I personally got my truck a few days after graduating, so I don't really classify as HS student, but I'm only 19 so lets pretend I was held back a year . But anyways, heres my 1969 short step. I'm the 3rd owner of this truck, and had only 102,000 miles on it when I got it. $1800 later and a 3.5/5" drop, 5x5 front disc convert, original 250, s10 t-5. I love this truck. I even get atleast one or two complements a week (at the gas station, since I'm there alot, drive almost 75 miles a day, ). But here she is with her new rims, kinda. Was digging through the shop today and low and behold I found the wheel covers off my moms old 93ish caprice classic. Snapped on perfectly.
