heres mine,

when my son was 15 he was making noise about wanting a car, so we told him we;d get him a a car if he learned a foreign language,,
thought I was off the hook, since we didnt hear anything for a few weeks then he said he had his first spanish lesson on saturday and he wanted a 68 or 69 Chevelle or something old and cool.

we had a budget of $4500 so we started looking for one with the least rusty Chevelle we could find,
then one saturday morning we were playing video games and he looks out the window and says " whos that? is that Uncle Chris? Is that his truck ?"
and shot out the door to check out my brothers 81 stepside 4 speed K-10, and he thought it was cooler than any Chevelle.

we wanted a rust free truck , we got this one from a horse rescue ranch in Az
we named it Snowball,
since every repair or upgrade turns into a much larger job than intended.
and since snowballs pick up stuff as it rolls along.


its a 76-77 cab with the shoulder belt anchor holes in the B pillar
has 73 doors with the small rollers
radiator core support has a 1980 emission sticker
3.73 8 lug axles from a 79
interior is from a 82


when we got the truck it had a poorly running carbed 305 or 350
we ditched the carb for a TBI

then later swapped the Sm465 trans for a NV3500 from a 07 silverado along with swapping the NP-205 for a NP-208

then later swapped in a 5.3 from a 2002 with 260K on it

gonna add vintage air soon.
