I found these in my old home town...
 

This is NOT a for sale post, let's please not turn it into one. I am just showing how these trucks are out there, in places we never even think of. I bought these this weekend not two miles from the house I grew up in. They were down a dead end county road that I never even knew existed. One is a 72 Cheyenne that has been beat all to hell, the other a 70 swb roller. I am going to bring them home as soon as I have time. They are still out there, you just never know where.

I know,, bonehead move on my part. I thought about that on the drive back home, but it had been a long day and my old ass was dragging. It has air conditioning,,, and an owner installed Oldsmobile engine,, yes,, Oldsmobile...

It's that infamous Oldsmobile "Rocket" engine, right? They put it in after taking out the factory Corvette engine. ;)

Exactly,,, the one that had a 3/4 race cam....

My friend is fixing up a 1969 c10 for a fellow, he is putting a 500 cu in Cadillac engine in it, I was left speechless!

Actually a big block Olds makes some serious torque and would work pretty good in a truck!

Nice find. I like seeing threads like this...

Given that the BBC engines are so plentiful, and the parts to change from L6 or SBC are plentiful as well, one would think that an "upgrade" would head that way. But if someone already has a good running non-BBC engine available, they can do what they like. In fact, they can do what they like, any time, anyway!

Nice find . I know where lots of these trucks are but they wil rot into the ground before they sell them , I have tried and will continue to try .

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Thanks, it is kind of like hunting Easter eggs anymore..

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Did somebody scalp the blue truck?

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Good score, plenty of picken's there.....

Hey Tim. No, the roof is still intact, just has a piece of rug tossed on it to sort of cover up the broken back glass. Thanks, Fred.

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

A little fixin' up and paint and it'll be like new again.

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Just takes time and money....

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

We kind of thought so. There should be all we need to make the short bed a complete roller and then have a lot of good, desirable parts left over. Thanks, Fred.

It is home....

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Glove box lid....

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Yes,,,,, that is an Oldsmobile....

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Just look at that pretty face...

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

ha ha. it looks like its mean muggin.... what happened to the roof?!!

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

We THINK it was hit in the rear, forced into an upright structure of some sort and that structure then fell down across the roof. Just some redneck detectivin'.

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

I bet they hit a statue of the local hometown hero... fell right on that poor ol truck lol

Re: I found these in my old home town...
 

Well,, it came from my hometown and there sure ain't no local heroes there.... But I like your optimism.
