'76 Big Block · 08-31-2011, 07:22 PM

I'm still kind of in awe of this truck--- I had an '81 GMC short step side that I drove for years and years, but that had a 350 (technically a 355 since it was bored)---mild Comp cam, and it was fun---not economical, but fun.
This big block is a LOT more fun---sounds different just idling.
I discovered that somewhere in its life, someone put ladder bars on the back springs---I'd forgotten about that old technology. I haven't tried to see if they work though...
Pictures will be forthcoming
