Hey 54 Caddy
I have a good mate who lives in Visalia who collects them for me.
i spotted the yellow one going down lovers lane in Visalia and followed him till he stopped then made an offer.
I will be back in Visalia mid year and will be on the hunt for some more

Cheers Peter

Just picked up a 79 for $800.00. Drove it home, just needs to be cleaned up.

jasonroman · 01-24-2012, 08:35 AM

man i wish i could find one like that!!!
good luck with it.

I like the older style head light bezels. Was never a fan of the '79 that goes around the blinker light. Wish I could find a '70's square that clean for under a grand. I hate livin' in the salt belt.

I didn't like the 79' and 80' for that same reason.

sweet stepside mang!

jeffg1010 · 01-27-2012, 11:41 PM

Guess I should share a few photos of this one. But I hope to not have her long, she is up for sale. Although, I am thinking about ripping out that beast of a motor for my Blazer. (and yeah, it is in the classified ad section)

Dude, I cant even begin to say how awesome that deal and that truck are. thats EXACTLY what I wanted to make my 79 look like, which I unfortunately had to sell. Perfect stance, Love the original rims, and damn that is some straight sheet metal!

Thanks, we"ll see how it cleans up. Maybe I'll start a build thread when I start.

Very slick!!!

could you perhaps give info on drop-wheel size w/ offset-tire size

Cheapster · 01-30-2012, 03:16 AM

Before

Now

My 76 C15, paid $800 and drove it home. 350 4brl, turbo 350, 12 bolt rear. Seat recently redone and the A/C even works. Only things that don't work is the clock, cruise control and the washer pump.

I want to change the mirrors, get some chrome center caps, rear sport bumper and lower it a little bit. Install headers and dual exhaust, thinking 2 1/2 exiting out in front of the rear tires. Have an older Weind dual plane manifold that was given to me that I will eventually throw on as well.

ghettoluxury · 01-30-2012, 03:17 AM

Looks killer Matt

muthstryker · 01-30-2012, 09:21 AM

Thanks guys, its about a 6/8 drop. Wheels are 22x8.5 front with a 255/35/22 tire. The rears are 22x10 with a 285/30/22 tire.
