The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So ive finally decided to make a build thread...

History:
In 1974 this truck was purchased by my fathers father. My grandfather.
He stopped by a GM lot one day and decided to buy it.
It came with:
4bolt main 350, swb stepside, no ac, bucket seats, wood-vynal, brown on yellow.

In the 80's the orij. motor was getting tired so my gpaw bought a crate stock replacement. And set the orij. on the side.
Besides exhaust it was never upgraded...

In just 9 years it was time for a rebuild....again.
So my uncil built the motor up (1989) and it still runs to this day..
he installed everything to last, foregided pistons; fully ballanced and line bored 0.40 over, 327 corvette heads, hi-volume oil pump, slightly larger stall converter....

In 2008: I was handed down the truck.

Recently It has been fouling plugs, yet keeping compression... so im guessing pluged oil return /w/ worn valve seals...

When we removed the valve cover we find a leaf in the rear oil return !!
......after months of talking my uncil says to me "...hey, you know i got a posi unit and cam kit in the garage right??"

and here he are!!

When i got it in 08'

Decided the old truck smell was not complementing my girlfriends perfume... so striped and re did the interior. Come to find out, a bottle of atf years ago slowly leaked while in the center con. and soaked into the carpet and saved alot from rust. (hense the nasty smell)
