This reminds me of way back when. I lived in Carson City, was having a shop put in a good exhaust for me. Night before I stripped down and installed some hooker headers. Ready to go first thing in the AM. Took a back route dirt road as far as I could. Had to cross the highway. I came out and idled slowly down a hill to a red light to cross. An old bronco was sitting at the light with his top off. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Right before I pulled up next to him the light turned green. That guy didn't need coffee that morning.

I love stuff like that.

Whenever I get a chance I ask myself," do they want to hear the pipes?"

And the answer is always "oh yeah, they want to hear the pipes"



I'm guessing they don't actually want to hear the pipes.

It situations like this that I learned a long time ago not to get into deals like this. Unless I am dealing with somebody that I have known for a long time it is "pay in full or not at all".

Well I did know him for years and he had plenty of money to spend on it just never thought to make payments.
I let it go for longer than I should have because I had nowhere to put it.

Is this a factory big block truck?

No.
It had a 350/sm465.

I wanted a period correct 396 but it turned out to be a 402.
It does have a 50th anniversary color and interior in perfect shape though.
Now that I can post pictures I will take some new ones and update the for sale thread.

Yeah I have it running now.
It was timed wrong and had a bunch of vacuum lines not connected and not capped.
I am waiting for the rain to stop so I can finish putting the brakes, exhaust, shocks and connect the driveshaft to see if it drives.
I have another thread going on that. I couldn't find this thread so I started another, I believe it is in the for sale section.

I was always amazed he couldn’t get that thing running.

What ever came of that guy?

When I picked it up he was not in a good place depressed. Haven't heard from him since
