pritty much the start how i got from my dad the tires and wheels you see on there are new that i put on the old ones poped in the driveway one day ill see if i can round up a old pic of it and it also had a old rusty bumper that i took off,

in this pic the paint job was about 2 years old it used to be a lighter blue now its a dark blue with metal flakes in the pain..

heres the 327 motor i got with the truck that thing ran great



untill one day it blew on me sucked all the oil up and welded the crank shaft to the jernals not a pritty site when i took it apart i found there was a hole in one of the pistons look like a bb was shot threw it haha

so i took the sucker out
