Orange,
did u complete the A/C yet... did u use an aftermarket set up?

nutsforchevys · 08-31-2006, 12:43 PM

Nice truck! Couldnt help but notice the greenhouses. What are you growing? I run a tree farm / nursery here in central Texas.

84 400 · 08-31-2006, 01:53 PM

nice truck man, i got my first chevy at 17... your truck has a roll pan and a molded front peice instead of a font bumper. i fi were you i would fix up any rust and repaint it but that is just me i am not a fan or purple that looks like a mopar color. Any ways for pwer you could put a blower on it or try a rat style build up on it instead of buying a 383 make it. The one thing to keep in mindis as the hp goes up the gas needle goes down. i am guessing this is not your daily driver right?

good luck with it is it a wood bed floor? and what model was it?

if it was me i would stay away from the bottle. i am a big fan of "all throttle no bottle"

corkscrew · 08-31-2006, 02:10 PM

We grow spruce and pine trees nutsforchevys what do you grow??

84 400-its just a 1970 c-10 custom

purple was the color it came in man i had no choice but it doesnt look that bad...does it? What about putting in like a 404 or something huge? what can give me the most power?

JRB · 08-31-2006, 04:29 PM

We grow all types of shade trees and shrubs.
I kinda like the purple color it sets it apart from others. It looks like a very nice truck.
I remember my first truck it wasnt near as nice as yours. It was a pea green 71 dodge with straight pipes and big echo cans on back. Needless to say after the first few tickets I had the exhaust fixed.

wow thats funny my first was a 1977 dodge powerwagon in white with a green stripe. i guess the color is growing on me but the chevy is really nice regardless of the color. it looks like some one put some time into it got any interior shots?????

corkscrew · 09-01-2006, 02:53 PM

Ill get some interior shots within a day or 2

RiCo · 09-01-2006, 04:21 PM

hey thanks guys. Ya after looking at yours and mine, i think i am going to take off that rear bumper. Something free to make it look better. I like that

and yes, i plan on getting some fat tires in the back, on some 20" rims. But i dont really have a job right now, and its a daily driver so i cant really take it apart to much. But once i get a jeep wrangler, ill be able to rebuild it alot more

Ive got some on the exterior like where the rear view mirror is, but on the outside. And ive got some On the floor panels on the passenger side.

im sure there probly is more in some spots, but i havent really noticed yet.

nothing to big really, but i need to get it taken care of soon.

corkscrew · 09-01-2006, 04:31 PM

Of course yours will never be as nice as mine

just kidding man it looks tight

RiCo · 09-01-2006, 08:30 PM

oo it probly wont be.... not untill i get a job and have time to fix it up. right now its just me and dad and i go to school and he works like 10-11 hours a day so there aint enough time to really work on it. And on the weekends we go to the dunes and go ride quads.... so for the moment the chevy project is on the back burner. but someday i hope to have it fully restored, with a 454 in it

corkscrew · 09-01-2006, 08:38 PM

good luck man

72 Suburban, it's medium olive...sort of medium olive(a little lighter and more metallic). Still slowly working on it, as budget allows.
If you go to any cruises in Edmonton, you've probably seen it.

edmonton72 · 09-02-2006, 11:54 PM

It's nice to see another local on the board. I'm from Edmonton too, I live on the edge of the west side of town. You got a nice truck there. If you want some more power, you should probably try to go with a supercharger and that will increase your horsepower by 50%.

corkscrew · 09-10-2006, 11:56 PM

how much is a super charger going to cost me?
