Re: old blue

I got the Readers digest of everything last night. Man what a story.
and it's been more like 30 years gone, the family friend had it for 20 of those and been with 2 other owners in the last 10 years.
Was a manual brakes-steering 327 3 speed on the tree shorty.
The rear clip and bed was from a 72 C-20 that had a cab fire, the t400 and driveline's swapped on a weekend because the camper was to long.
The 454 was from station wagon swapped after the long bed deal.
The entire front x-member rotor to rotor was swapped for an 8 lug along with the power brakes and steering
Then it was 8 lug up front and 6 lug rear.
The the 8 lug rear was swappedal in.

And I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff.
So damn neat driving it around feel like a kid again. Except my daughter is about the same age I was when it was sold.

And I appreciate all the comments.
