The man said that he has owned this car for over 25 years. Did a build several years ago and gave it a 5.3 swap.

Chevy's in the wild

EL CAA-ME-NO.
Went to the grudge drags at Portland International Raceway last night with my boy and his friend for the first time. Pretty cheap and entertaining, plus the racers who wanted to could immediately get back in line and make as many passes as they wanted. Pretty small crowd in both the pits and the stands, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lots of testing and tuning going on.
Here are a few Chevies
This Caprice was turning 11s or 12s and sounded real nice. Might have inspired me a bit to get mine back together
This SS has been rebadged as a Holden. It was in the 11s I want to say.
This Chevelle was having traction problems, but kept at it. Saw him go down the track idk how many times. But it was a lot. Sounded great!
Oh man, this Camaro sounded tough. Unfortunately he let off shortly after a mean launch and put it back on the truck afterwards. Not sure if it was just a flat tire or something else, but would have loved to see him run more passes.
This K5 had a few custom features
Most notably, a custom half cab enclosure
Might need a new layer of varnish on that plywood, cowboy
But he has himself a nice little pickemup truck now
Couldn't see much from the interior, but it looks like sheetmetal.
Here he goes again!

The farmers 1/2 cab. But it works.
If it's stupid but it works...
...it isn't stupid.

If it's ugly and it works, it's still ugly
…but it worked.
The worst of both worlds! And uncomfortable pickup cab, and a crappy short wheel base!!!!

Passed this ‘76 ( I think ) FJ40 TLC going over a bridge earlier in the day and saw it again out on the barrier island just before the sun was sett’n.
I love them ole FJ40’s - of all the cool 4WD’s that I’ve had the pleasure of owning over the years I’d trade every one of them to have my ole ‘79 FJ40 back!
Shoulda-woulda-coulda…
NOTE : I just realized that I posted this in the wrong thread - would a Moderator please move this to the “Non-Chevy” in the wild thread.
Thanks, Tom

Went for a cruise in my Buddy’s 65 C10.
Transplanted Mild 350/T400/10bolt w/3.42.
Great riding truck, decent performance, easy to drive and dependable.
Nice view from the pass seat…
